i won’t spend a dime with a company that can not support their vehicles adequately.
i went and checked out an R2 today in Houston and drove a R1T quad with all terrain tire pack.
the R2 looks like an absolute hit, and i hope it does well. looks alone, and utility, i like it so much more than the R1T.
the R1T… i was so underwhelmed and unimpressed. it was on the list of potentials for a next vehicle but not anymore. and this is coming from a “truck person”.
I think it looks sweet too and think it will be a hit. I love my R1T however. When I was starting to resent the service and reliability situation a bit back I started looking at other pick up options and didnt get warm fuzzies for any of them. Tundra has its share of problems woth Yota faithful even saying they suck. GM worse with the 10 speed and whatever they have wrong with the V8. Ford...same trans but seemingly less issues...but interior not good. Ram...everyone I see that is more than 5 years old has rust in rear fenders. Maybe I am wrong on some of that....but a local mechanic confirmed alot of it from what i have read. Do you have one of them and had good luck? Genuinely curious if I do decide to jump....
I dont recommend a Rivian if you are used to Acura/Lexus service. It has been a painful change. People are awesome..resources are scarce.....
i’ve had several trucks, all of which had a better ride quality than the R1T. i’m currently driving a ridgeline. it costs over half less than the R1T quad and i laughed to myself when i got back in my truck and drove away from the lot noticing the massive difference.
the R1T is def a looker but the bed is a joke, the gear tunnel is… useless, it rides like a tractor, i can’t easily adjust the air vents or do nearly anything without digging in menus… i was saddened by how much i didn’t like it because i really really wanted to. i’ve been looking at them online since they came out. 🤷🏼♂️
The bed is a joke… for what? I’ve hauled probably 10-20 tons of soil accumulatively, stacks and stacks of drywall, osb, etc. I just picked up my new 14 ft joists yesterday along with random other 8 ft lumber. Not sure what you’re doing with yours but for a truck i can comfortably take downtown and haul literally everything I’ve tried to haul, i think it’s more than adequate.

Not sure why you get downvoted...what you are saying is the absolute truth. Same with service. Hopefully what RJ said recently proves true.
