  • Per viewers' requests I show a vehicle in motion, yay! Also I talk a lot about what it's like to drive, about different modes and experiences on a highway and local roads, what works and what doesn't for Driver+ system, and a lot of other stuff related to Rivian R1T

    Great video. I'm also located in the West Chester area. If you see a Forest Green in the area, it's probably mine.

    People don’t think it’s sporty because you lower. It has a inter linked hydraulic suspension setup like a mclaren. Obviously much heavier but as for a heavy truck this may be as good as it gets. Smoking tire even said maybe all purpose even drives better on bumpy roads. Because the hydraulic setup helps create a tight stabilization even at higher heights. Also true torque vectoring helps

    • @alexmak1

      I have plenty of experience driving sport cars, including mclarens. so while the setup might be "like a mclaren", it doesn't drive like one. yes, it's better than a traditional pickup truck, but not as sporty, as, let's say, a sporty Porsche Macan, for instance

      @@alexmak1 I'm not questioning your credentials, but your presentation can be questioned. I just don't think anyone is saying "this thing handles like a GT4". But it has some functionality that enables it to handle better than most trucks. "Lowering the truck" like you said is - imo - not the thing that makes it handle well. Is what I was getting at. What is surprising is to know this thing weighs 7000 pounds then take it around a turn at a high rate of speed. Would be interesting to see it race around a track vs a Macan GTS, though.

    • @realMysta
      @realMysta 2 роки тому +1

      And to add - I think the reason people say it handles well when they say 'it can do most everything well' is because those are the people that never bought a truck because they don't like the truck driving experience of wofting all over the road. This is a nice compromise.
