Tales of Towing With MotorTrend's Rivian R1T

10 Sep 2023 | Abstracted from MotorTrend

"I can tow my car over the Grapevine (a notorious 40-mile climb to 4,144 feet on I-5 north of Los Angeles) and to Buttonwillow on a single charge...The logistics of charging leave a lot to be desired, though...The biggest inconvenience was finding enough space to drop the trailer. It was less of an issue on the I-5 corridor...Even though I didn't have a full charge leaving Buttonwillow, I still made it home on just that charge."
