Rivian R1T Stability Advantage
A Rivian R1T owner loaded 8,000 pounds of river rock improperly, resulting in extreme trailer sway at 70 MPH.
The situation nearly sent the load sideways, but the electric truck's low center of gravity saved the day.
The fundamental physics of towing heavy loads creates scenarios that can quickly overwhelm even experienced drivers.
- Battery weight distribution and electric powertrains respond differently than traditional trucks.
- Electric vehicle characteristics can provide unexpected advantages in extreme towing situations.
