SAYING GOODBYE TO MY RIVIAN R1T

EV Channels Review

The reviewer is saying goodbye to their beloved Gen 1 Rivian R1T, opting for a Gen 2 R1S to better suit their family's needs, especially since they already own a Cybertruck. While they express a preference for the R1T over the Cybertruck, the R1S offers the much-missed seven-seater capacity. The video details the process of removing aftermarket accessories from the R1T, including running boards, mud flaps, a console organizer, and bed liner. The reviewer highlights the durability of the aftermarket running boards despite some off-roading, though notes the aesthetic gap on Gen 1 models. They also mention issues with the R1T's knuckle hubs and a glass roof replacement, but overall praise the Gen 1 R1T's ownership experience, with Rivian covering all warranty repairs. The transition is bittersweet, but the opportunity for a favorable trade-in deal on the R1S was too good to pass up.
