My First Towing Experience

Rivian Blue · Nov 29, 2024

First time towing with the R1S. Hopefully, this experience helps others for reference with what a shape and weight a of trailer will do to range.
The trailer weighed 1730 lbs and the driver 160 lbs -on a good day.

The shape of the load was 16‘ x 3‘ sheets laid flat on the trailer. The trailer is a 6 x 12 double axle U-Haul utility trailer.

Overall, it was a smooth drive and a nice experience. Didn't really face any troubles on the road and an experience I'd definitely love to have again.

This is great info - I was definitely curious on how it would impact the battery life/range, I'm glad to know it was a positive experience.

It's a nice experience to have with your R1S and a great way to test the vehicles towing ability as well
