Rivian R1T's Stability Advantage in Extreme Towing Situations
A Rivian R1T owner loaded 8,000 pounds of river rock improperly, resulting in violent trailer sway at 70 MPH.
The fundamental physics of towing heavy loads can create scenarios that overwhelm even experienced drivers, particularly when combined with highway speeds.
His terrifying story reveals the electric truck's secret stability advantage.
Andrew Crowell's experience demonstrates how electric vehicle characteristics, such as battery weight distribution and electric powertrains, respond differently than traditional trucks in extreme situations.
