—snow and deep water, but one thing we hadn't seen until now was a Rivian driving through a lake.
Yes, you read that right, an R1T owner decided to launch his boat in rather unusual fashion into Bear Lake in Idaho. Known for very nice sand, fresh water and a very gradual beach, the lake is a very popular destination for boat enthusiasts, which means that launching a boat in summer can require several hours of waiting in line at the few boat marinas available.owner decided to launch his boat from the beach shore.
"Once I knew the R1T maximum water fording height was over 43 inches, I was instantly curious of whether I could launch my boat in Bear Lake Idaho."The place he chose to do that was Bear Lake Beach, which has hard sand and is not muddy. His boat, a 2004 Malibu 23 LSV, needs about 36 inches of water to float off the trailer. With the boat weighing about 4,000 pounds and the trailer about 1,500 lbs , it means the Rivian was pushing or pulling about 6,000 lbs .
Now, the owner set up the Rivian for the adventure by disconnecting the trailer lights so that the R1T wouldn't get confused and go into Towing Mode, and by setting the mode to"Deep Sand mode truly ended up being better for deep sand than just normal All Purpose mode, specifically it gave more power to the front wheels."three or four times over the course of a few days.First he had to back up the boat until the 20-inch all-terrain tires were a little under the water.
"So, I was most nervous about just losing traction and being able to pull the boat out because the R1T would float. But we didn't get close to that happening. The R1T always had plenty of traction even though I wanted to get it over as quickly as possible."vehicles on order, believes launching a boat like that is a first for a Rivian.
