50k Miles with My Rivian R1T: The Ultimate Tesla Replacement

Emerald City Rivian Club

My Glacier White truck with Forest Edge interior and 20″ AT wheels, has given me quite the adventure. 100+ off-road trips, dozens of camping weekends, 50+ community club events with hundreds of owners, and more Costco runs than I can count.
