Rivian R1T Stability Advantage
A Rivian R1T owner loaded 8,000 pounds of river rock improperly, experiencing extreme trailer sway at 70 MPH.
The incident nearly sent the load sideways, 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.
Electric Vehicle Characteristics
Andrew Crowell's experience demonstrates how electric vehicle characteristics can provide unexpected advantages in extreme towing situations.
- Battery weight distribution
- Electric powertrains respond differently than traditional trucks
