Rivian CEO issues strong statement about people who purchase gas-powered cars: ‘Sort of like building a horse barn in 1910’::“I don’t think I would have believed it.”
The Rivian R1T’s towing capacity is 11,000 pounds, so you can absolutely tow with one. The question is if you’re talking about a trailer around town or a large camper cross-country. The former should be no big deal, you can always charge at home and start your day off full, but admittedly you’ll be stopping to charge a lot more with the latter.
That said, most people don’t carry campers cross-country, let alone frequently
But for how long? The real world tests I’ve seen on some EVs is pretty poor. If I’m towing something like an RV, it sure as hell isn’t gonna be for just 50 Km, and it’s going to be up and down massive hills where I’m from.

I conceded as much in the last two sentences of my post.
