This was a solid video. I would have like to have seen the battery range at different points of the video and how that was holding up on the trip. You guys started with 91% just would have liked seeing how many miles you guys went and how much battery was used.

[@jerrygaber6150]

Math says about 253 miles range if 91% battery is 230 miles of range.

[@jeffarnold3229]

And wondering how much the range prediction was impacted by the kind of low speed (plus) incline (minus) driving they did

[@DK-jd8bj]

@@jerrygaber6150 The range will be greatly affected by that kind of off road driving. I'm guessing 1/3 the usual range would be quite optimistic off-road but that's usually only a third of your driving on a typical trip. So you could probably do a 150 mile trip with 50 miles of off road. That's still pretty good and enough for most excursions.

The big thing about Rivian for repairs is that they have a several billion dollar deal with Amazon because rivian is producing electric vans for amazon so it would be easier to repair.

[@AwesomeBlackDude]

Whuut does that mean and what had happen to tank turn feature? 😬

[@kstaxman2]

Nothing about repairing the Rivian truck would be much like repairing the Amazon delivery truck. And Amazon vans will get first dibs. So it remains to be seen hoe service will be. That being said EVs don't give problems like gas ICE vehicles. This video shows how durable they are. Repairs will be few and far between unless they have a design flaw and I suspect that isn't going to happen. They spent a lot of time building a totally new build from the ground up.. Rivian is a real truck and it will sell well.

[@kstaxman2]

@@AwesomeBlackDude tank turn was bull from the beginning. Tanks have treads an it's easy to do tank turns while it's almost impossible on a standard vehicle. Rivian was blowing smoke with the tank turn talk. Not a good thing but it's going to be all about getting production numbers that are more than a few thousand. And Rivian is under the need for supplying Amazon while doing it. Amazon will be demanding their trucks FIRST you can bet on that.

Another solid review. As a pickup truck fan, this is everything I could hope for and then some. The more i've watched these reviews, I believe this is ground breaking and like the first iphone in a blackberry world for both pickups and 4X4's. It won't all change overnight but this performance changes the game for good. Battery range and charging options will both improve, and the industry will hopefully never need gas nor diesel again.

[@Kangenpower7]

Both are sold out for a couple of years! They are only going to make something like 15,000 F-150's in 2022 and 30,00 in 23, 55,000 in 24. By 2025, the next generation of electric F-150 will come out of a plant in Tennessee, and probably something like 5,000 a week! There are two plants making the gas F-150, at 5,000 a week from each plant. There are 150,000+ reservations for the electric F-150, so it will take past 2025 to meet all that demand.

[@TheRealLink]

I had heard of them for awhile but didn't know how it was progressing or really any of the features. Super cool! Not something I could easily afford but obviously compared to Tesla or other EVs, this is also awesome to see since none of the other players have a F150 style truck really. Thanks for making an awesome video!

[@platoki]

Amazing video good job!

[@JamesBenet]

Good exposé of it's capabilities. I know the price is competitive with higher end gas trucks but 67k is still a big chunk of change. The dollar is so devalued, I still remember 1990s under 20k F150s loaded.

[@byammine]

The only problem is it may have a high towing capacity but they payload capacity isn’t very high so I’m many cases you wouldn’t actually be able to tow something that heavy. But, this isn’t really a full size truck so probably not a concern for most people but it is something to consider when seeing the towing capacity

[@TfGamess]

[@TheLLentini]

really impressive performance overall, glad to have my preorder in. Something i noticed that was odd was some of the tire spinning when it would teter or be on a challenging obstacle. Is there going to be some sort of software function that locks the tire rotations 1:1 to simulate a locker? Next thing, please for the love of god. hope those door latches can handle real snow and ice (new england). Every one i know with the tesla gets locked out in the winter here. Can't wait to use this thing in the woods for camping.

[@adrianbjones]

I spotted that slippage as well. I assumed the software would prevent this from happening. It was strange to them have to change to a different line to get through that. Pretty sure a rear locker on a normal drive train would have allowed crawling through that easily. I really don't understand why the motor at the wheel that had traction didn't do it's job as well as I expected. My other concern is the min 20" wheels - I feel like they are still too large for good offroad capability - not enough leeway for airing down as much as you'd like - maybe that contributed to the slippage in that shot?

[@TheLLentini]

​@@adrianbjones big head scratch on the 20" rim size myself. guess i'll be popping tires too. Even my buddy with a 2021 Defender is down to an 18" rim. There's just no meat on the tires at 20". I'm a fan of 18", have never had a single issue on my wrangler rock crawling, deep snow, sand air-downs, deep mudding at that size.

[@adrianbjones]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5bXmWislJqXhq8 - smaller rims, better tires, and lower pressure surely would have made this a lot smoother. But it still also looks like the torque vectoring needs improving. And it's also a shame about the complete lack of articulation - that also seems to be a real issue with this. BTW, I really want to see this go everywhere a stock 4runner can go, so I am hoping for the best.

[@TheLLentini]

@@adrianbjones the articulation (or lack there of) comes down to the air suspension. I've seen its issues on the Defender. You can raise it up to max ride height (good for ground clearance), but something happens where it gets extremely stiff, I think you run out of rebound and all the air pressure to keep it sky high prevents soft compression. hoping for some over the air updates for better torque vectoring. Overall, as an out of the box off-roader is still seems capable. But for the price point, a jeep wrangler or 4runner might put it to shame. I imagine 80% of the owners of this truck won't do more than go on sand beaches, a dirt road, or occasional snow drives.

[@Thrillowatt]

I thought about this too, because there are 4 motors, it's not like you are losing power really if you spin the extra wheel but it certainly doesn't help. I'm also curious. I wonder if there are software improvements to be made or if they simply forgot to "lock"it

[@ishraqsiddiqui900]

[@msimonwi]

[@sherizaahd]

I like the passthru tunnel, but I don't like the front trunk as much as the Lightning. I'd probably go with a Lightning over this, but that's partly cause I could in theory afford a Lightning.

[@4literv6]

Right? It's one genius feature imo for the lightning and one which I'd bet many contractors will like. Makes carrying stuff then unloading it super easy. Right at the average persons waist height to. Well average height men anyways. 😁 I really liked the lights and power outlets for the lightning frunk to. So much practicality there.

[@eddiesantos6407]

If price concerns you, you may want to wait till later in 2022. Rivian has mentioned about a smaller battery pack (105 kwh) and a dual-motor trim of the Rivian. Both these combined might fall into the price range category you're more comfortable with. I'm not trying to persuade you to Rivian and away from Ford exclusively, just pointing out that 2022 is going to have a LOT of announcements and/or releases of other options regarding new companies or new products from familiar companies.

[@sherizaahd]

@@eddiesantos6407 For now, I'm signed up for the Cybertruck, so that's where I'm expecting my Electric trucking to happen, but that could be a while. For now, neither Rivian nor Ford is overly compelling since they do not have Supercharger network, which is a really big deal for trips.
