Rivian R1T Stability Test
A Rivian R1T owner loaded 8,000 pounds of river rock improperly, resulting in extreme trailer sway at 70 MPH.
The situation was terrifying, but the electric truck's low center of gravity helped prevent disaster.
The fundamental physics of towing heavy loads creates scenarios that can quickly overwhelm even experienced drivers.
- Trailer loading mistakes can combine with highway speeds to create dangerous oscillations.
- Electric vehicle characteristics can provide unexpected advantages in extreme towing situations.
Andrew Crowell's experience with his Rivian R1T demonstrates how battery weight distribution and electric powertrains respond differently than traditional trucks in extreme situations.
Author's summary: Rivian R1T's stability saves the day.
