MY FIRST EV TOWING EXPERIENCE! RIVIAN R1S HAULING A HORSE IN THE MOUNTAINS

EV Channels Review

The reviewer shares their inaugural EV towing experience with a Rivian R1S (Gen 2, Max Pack) hauling a horse trailer. The initial setup involved some learning curves, particularly with hitch adjustments and ride height, but the reviewer found the process manageable. Despite initial concerns about range and charging, the R1S performed admirably, especially during the mountain ascent and descent. The reviewer highlights the comfort of the R1S compared to traditional towing vehicles like a Tahoe, praising its smooth ride, lack of swaying, and the effectiveness of regenerative braking. A key takeaway is the positive impact of a 6-inch drop hitch, which significantly improved the trailer's stability. While efficiency was impacted by towing, wind, and terrain, the overall towing experience was deemed excellent with 'no notes.' The reviewer expresses enthusiasm for future towing endeavors with the R1S.
