These six issues seem rather small and insignificant.

When one is paying $79,000+ for the vehicle PLUS tax and loan fees??? Are you kidding me? If I were to pay that much for a vehicle, it better be near perfect. Arrghh...you are killin' me.

Loose steering knuckle is serious to me.
Might lock up and you can’t turn.
The weight of the vehicle would result in road noise
Our bridges aren’t built for the weight of electric vehicles either. Will also degrade our roads much more quickly. A lot of the road beds weren’t compacted correctly (two passes with a roller is about 1/10th of what is needed). When you see valleys in the roads where the tires roll, the road bed is compacting. They’ll be making major repairs much more frequently with electric.

A Ford F-250 Limited starts at $96,095 (since you must be from Rio Linda that’s almost 25% more expensive than the Rivian).

Do any modern Ford vehicles have any of these issues:

1. Loose Steering Knuckle
2. Defective Seat Belt Anchor
3. Proximity Sensor Defect
4. Hard Suspension on Slow Speeds
5. Windows Go Up Slowly
6. Serious Cabin Noise

Yes, and more.

Did I EVER endorse the Rivian? NO!

All I wrote was: “For good or bad it’s an interesting truck.”

Sheeshe! YOU are killing ME!
