So, again, I don't get the point. It's just a lifestyle statement.

They have marketed this truck as an off-road capable truck for getting outdoors as well. Well, at 7200lbs the last thing I want to do is add off-road features and gear, adding to the weight of an already heavy vehicle. Weight and off-road do not play well together.
I think this could be a great vehicle for city folk who need a light use truck that primarily stays in the concrete jungle, or for the weekend camper who stays close to the asphalt in established campgrounds, but for the rest of folks who need a truck for heavy duty work or get back into the sticks I don't think the Rivian is it.
