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 electric truck's low center of gravity saved them from disaster.
The physics of towing heavy loads can create dangerous scenarios, especially when combined with highway speeds. This incident highlights the electric truck's secret stability advantage.
Andrew Crowell's experience demonstrates how electric vehicle characteristics can provide unexpected advantages in extreme towing situations.
- Improper trailer loading can lead to high-speed trailer sway
- Electric vehicle characteristics, such as battery weight distribution, can provide stability advantages
- Rivian R1T's low center of gravity helped prevent disaster in this incident
