The Rivian R1T is looking more and more promising day by day. I'm tempted to reserve one and which ever vendor provides me a vehicle I will be their customer. Ford seems to have a lot a promises but no delivery. Month by month they keep cutting more stuff...they've got thousands of F-150's...
I asked my dealer about this and they received 2 Priority slots (they have 111 allotments for 2021 and over 500 orders) and those two will be built in June along with one "normal" order.
My 2017 Tacoma TRD offroad 6-spd auto has +size tires (Toyo AT2 LT265/75R16) and I consistently run 16mpg in town and can pull 18mpg (20mpg if I'm good....which I'm not) on the highway. My wife can drive my Tacoma in town for the day and when I hop in it's reporting between 18-20mpg...in town...
I'm sticking with Area 51, I'm sticking with Area 51, I'm sticking with Area 51 (damn you Ashley 😆)......My dealer is going to cancel my order if I change the color again!

Speaking of skid plates...did anyone notice they didn't show them. I know that 4WP Bronco had full skids all the way to the back. Probably top secret along with the G2 axles...all that steel and 37's...there goes all the payload.
The biggest benefit of the SAS is the 4.7 gearing. To re-gear to support 35-37" tires on non-SAS will almost cover the cost of the SAS package (gears, labor) and that's only on the BD, BL any other model you are getting the lesser axles (no locker).
I think they are just self conscious of the shortness of it....:ROFLMAO:
Disappointed the Sport got the hidden winch option (ARB bumper appears to block the forward sensing radar in lower grill). Also ARB "rock rails" look a little flexy under that high lift jack (it appears it bent it up in...
I went from a Wildtrak reservation to a Badlands order. I couldn't handle the Wildtrak cloth interior. If I ordered the Wildtrak it would've been Race Red (with Modular Black Top).
