Don’t think there are any plows designed for them.

Oh bummer, well how do you think it would do in the conditions I described? Pushing tons of snow in the freezing cold and snow for 14 hours straight like my gasser can do??

I don’t think they have a chassis designed for it.  But very few really care how they would handle a plow.  Most people having plowing done for them or don’t live in areas that requiring plowing.

TRX shits on powerboost.  Lightning shits on a TRX, and Lightning get boot stomped and takes damage from being so far behind the Rivian

 

Oh wow, looks like moto was right, that thing is tiny compared to those trucks seeing them lined up, like the size of a Honda pilot..but that thing weighs about as much as a 3/4 ton Bohica?

Vast majority of trucks don’t plow.  Very few do that are sold across the US do.

 

most people that plow, plow for 14 hours a day?

I don’t think that little pig would do very well in the silt and sand.  And before you post pics of the little pig in Moab electric boi.I have pics of my family and I on the same trails in a 17 GC TrailHawk. We did 5000 miles in 15 days. Trails in 4 states. Didn’t see any charging stations on any of the trails. I didn’t have to carry gas cans either. :lol:

So totally not feasible for middle and lower income people who live in colder climates and/or use a truck as a tool for work,..It's pretty much a poser vehicle..

Hey maybe in a 10,000 years the globe will have warmed enough that they are functional..

The EV’s are being styled and designed to stand out and not look like traditional ICE vehicles

And ALL the new pickups look like fucking boxy shit.  Not sure why they all think making them look the opposite of aerodynamic is a good thing.  The Rivian can be fixed easily, the rest not so much.  I need more towing range than the Rivian provides, but the sport ute version could work for the W.

Most trucks even in your area are poser vehicles.  A nicely equipped full size will cost more then what the Rivian is.

 

some people own Ferraris and some own corollas….  You pick where you want to be in your life and only you can chose.

So can the Rivian…. You just have to charge

So it can't without taking a break. What if there's no where to charge?
