@@TillTheWheelsComeOffI know right. It’s pretty impressive to see it do that in street tires.

That Rivian would be unstoppable if it had some more offroad looking tires. The clearance on it is insane…

Well you also have to realize it’s 7200 ibs. This is also causing it big tracking issues. It’s a good off-roader, but won’t ever be great.

I owned different trucks all my life from known brand, and after I recently bought my RIVIAN R1T QUAD MOTOR, I can proudly say that it beats ALL those Jurassic vehicles from Toyota, Nissan, Honda, GMC, Ford & Dodge, period.

Tires on the rivian is what makes it spin alot. Looks great

Bruh I've been on that hill, with a 4 banger geo tracker on 32's, no problem. Just look at all of the videos cropping up of the hummer EV and the R1T getting stuck offroad. It's sad

Love the extended cab ZR2. Hard as hell to find.

This Rivian has killer ground clearance.

Wow they all did awesome

Tacoma still the best!

I’m looking forward to the time someone shows up with a Silverado ZR2.

The ZR2 rocked it, of course it is the only vehicle with front and rear lockers. I'd like to see Rivian come out with virtual lockers, then it might do better.

The colorado zr2 makes it look so easy I am honestly have to come out that way where yall are at to do some off roading it's a dream of mine that I haven't done yet just a far drive from Washington state

I'd love to know the driver's feedback on what was going on with the throttle when the Rivian lost traction. Did he let off or did the system cut in?

I think the weight of the Rivian made him slip back and he lifted his foot off the accelerator to the brake in reaction.

@@ZenEndurance I think you're right and I think this is going to be the R1T/S's biggest flaw coupled with you can only get as small as 20s on the wheel because of the brake clearance. I'm not cancelling my R1S reservation any time soon but I think it's clear that the weight thing is always going to be the tradeoff when it comes to 4X4'ing. The Colorado is svelte compared to the Rivian meanwhile a Wrangler 2-door owner would call the ZR2 a fat cow.

Hands down, the ZR2. It was absolutely owning that trail. But, the ZR2's have factory front and rear lockers so it isn't exactly an even comparison. Almost every single head to head comparison / review video out there will put the ZR2 over the Tacoma. That being said, Toyota Tacoma's have perhaps a bigger aftermarket following. That's where they seem to shine the best. The Tacoma did well but it's not quite on par with the ZR2. The Rivian was the worst out of the three. Like someone mentioned before, perhaps so better tires would be a big improvement on the trail.

I disagree, in fact my thought was that they performed just about the same, within the margin of error of outside variables like driver technique, line choice, tire pressure, etc. To say that one significantly (or even perceptibly) outdid the other is a stretch.

Zr2 made it way too easy, taco had to work it

the rivian did build up enough momentum compared to the other trucks.

Dang! Did the Rivian climb with road tires

I'm sure the electric torque just spinning the wheels way too fast doesn't help for off road. I wonder if the can come out with some sort of low gear ratio 🤔

@rstvanman1999

I would also like to see off road tires.

The reason the Rivian is spinning is not necessarily because a lack of a good tire (although this could be a factor), it’s mainly the quad motor AWD system on the truck trying to control for wheel slip as the motors divert power.

Ya I’ll take the Tacoma hands down

The ZR2 looked like it did it the easiest.

I can see only two problems on the rivian,tires and angels And the weight but thats about all the EVs

Zr2 dont care.

Thank God ICE is good at something.

For the price of that EV truck I could get a 4 runner and a taco! 😂

Too much lateral movement of the wheels on the t1t.

Anyone see the Iron Giant look on that Riv? Put that hair dryer to the real test...drop it in water and mud.

Stock for stock, the ZR2 walks the Tacoma hands down. Even with lift wheels and tire mods, the ZR2 is still the better off-road machine.

The Tacoma is not the off-road is the sport basically sr5!

Tacoma are sports not off road trim

Rivian has zero articulation. Would say something about the tires but they can't overcome the horrific suspension setup of the Rivian.

Damn, can't they make the rivian more ugly?
