For R1S users who are starting to venture off-road a little more - more mild than wild - this is an article on how to handle being pulled out backwards. At the front we've got two beefy tow hooks, but no hook at the back. So here's the 1st step towards setting up some gear that could be helpful in getting the Rivian out if you managed to get yourself in too deep. You can get these 3 items ordered from Factor 55.
Hitchlink 2.0 - just about matches the Rivian Yellow, locking hitch pin, and a 10" soft shackle.
By adding 2 garden hose washers (pink) to the hitch pin you can be able to remove all the free play and potential for rattles.
Would be outstanding if someone could 3D-print a rear hitch cover that has a 2" cutout for a hitch!
That way a subset of R1S owners could set up a hitch arrangement, and keep the rear cover in place.
