Love your videos
Tire problem is a car problem. The manufacturer should have put a good tires stock.
Waw the front of the Tundra is stupid looking
The Tundra tires are not snow tires. The comparison of the capabilities of both trucks is a little irrelevant.
You need to air down !!! City boys in the woods LoL….
The suspension on the rivian is woeful , zero articulation and the rise looks terrible , maybe they need to study a 30 year old Rangie .
Damn the new Tundras are some ugly ass trucks. Smh.
I was wondering 💭 why you would reduce traction control on the Rivian if it’s supposed to help with slipping?
Is Ineos going to sell a single Grenadier in the US (assuming they make it to market)?
Buhanka. Great video but should have included the Buhanka as a comparison. 🙂
The Nathan Method works about 95% of the time, in every situation in life!!! Pedal to the medal and push on through
This is more of a tire capability test than a trunk capability test.
i don't know which truck is uglier.
Watching the TFL guys 'wheel is like watching your grandparents make out. You know you shouldn't do it but you hope you'll learn something. But you are full of regret when it's all over.
These ladies need to learn about momentum and throttle modulation.
Did the Rivian do better than a 1956 CJ Jeep?
How will this trucks batteries hold up in a Winnipeg Manitoba winter??? This would be my biggest issues. Or is this just a june to september truck. For up here?
I pity the fool that goes off into the snow without Goodyear mtrs or something as badass for tires X)
That white noise that the R1T emits has to go. Quite annoying. That would be one of the first things I would do upon purchase, find the darn speaker and clip the wire to it.
Hi TFL loved listening to this overview of the Rivian, I have I few questions that I would like to put forward for you to ask Rivian when you do the debriefing:
1. Will the green light bar become a charging progress bar with upcoming software updates?
2. Can the Rivian accept 35' tires if the owner would like to put them on.
3. For the upcoming 180kwh MAX pack, will the larger battery take up any storage space that the 135kwh Large pack provides? I.e, will there be less storage in the 180kwh version compared to the 135kwh version.
4: Overtime, will it be possible to add software updates that increase charging speed further than 210kw and horsepower and torque?
Finally, will the 180kwh MAX pack R1T come with less/more torque and horsepower than the 135kwh version that you tested during Rivian week?
Thank you so much TFL for throughly testing this vehicle for us, and I would be grateful if you could ask a few of these questions to the Rivian team on behalf of your audience. Well done guys!
I hope you brought a 3rd friend with a truck on real snow tires and a pull rope.
Bravo
When TFL does an off road review, they do a MF OFF ROAD REVIEW!!!! WOOOO!!!! 'Merica. Keep up the great work guys. Would love to do some off pavement review with you guys one day.
Ignore the negative comments you guys are awesome thanks for all the effort you guys put into these videos.
I want to see 2wd w/ chains vs 4wd and no chains.
man. I would have loved to see the raptor and TRX in here!
I bought the first year Tundra in 2007 and loved it. Let me say the new one is about as ugly from the front as I’ve ever seen.
"Nothing can stop you" is the new "Full Self Driving".
Love this channel! Keep those videos coming!
These trucks are too heavy and don’t have the right tires for these conditions. I rented a 4500 pound 2009 4 runner and it got stuck in my front yard in 10 inches of snow. I had to use my Cherokee to pull it out.
The Cherokee has open diffs. No traction control but it only weighs 3700 pounds. As long as you don’t stop it will ride on top of snow packing a layer between it and the ground. I can drive through 2 feet of fresh snow with only 8” of ground clearance.
Tundra, why? cause the other one is a EV. Until EV technology can perform the same as combustion engine vehicles as far as range, power available and charging times, this is all peeing in the wind.
You should have brought Tommy's Jeep as a tow vehicle
That ground clearance is insane. Like portal axles from the factory without G Wagon pricing.
This is why snow trucks are diesel CMON guys
There were a couple pucker moments on the ice for sure. Thanks for sharing
You guys need the proper tires instead of those general-purpose ones.
I don't understand recent Japanese SUV and truck offerings. Most have low sporty fronts that are perfect for dragging on stuff their older vehicles would laugh at.
Sadly enough the R1T won't make it to the EU since if the GVWR is over 3500kg you need a CDL to drive it and you can only go 90kph (50mph). The R1T empty is 3100kg so once you have 5 people in it you're already over that weight limit.
63k for a Tacoma compared to 75k for a R1T! You must be nuts to chose the Toyota at the price range.
Should of reduced tyre pressure
Hey guys, great video as usual! Totally off topic question. What hand held radios are you using? I notice you use them a lot to communicate and I need something to replace my old radios. Thanks
