I was going to get a Rivian R1T until I did the math and found the CT was going to be cheaper and what the logic is behind the design. Things I’ve been seeing from different YouTubers is making me glad I didn’t order a Rivian
I know that towing anything can reduce your range no matter if it's ICE or electric. I frequently tow a jet ski with full fuel (around 1,100 lbs) with a Toyota 4runner (CT3 on order) and I do see a reduction in range with that. It isn't terribly significant but enough to notice..
I am not surprised or disappointed either as it will give me time to save. I just ordered my CT trimotor the other day. I currently drive a 2007 4Runner with 297,600 miles on it. I keep it maintained as well.
