Awesome video! Thank you for sharing your experience!

[@AmpdAdventures]

Appreciate it and you guys for making such quality stuff! Keep em coming!

[@user-wy4bb1yu5k]

Thanks for the informative video.

[@AmpdAdventures]

Awesome! Glad to hear!

Thanks for sharing, currently own a ram, looking to replace next year, strongly considering the R1T over another Ram.

[@AmpdAdventures]

I can only speak for myself but it’s been my favorite vehicle I’ve owned. Very capable and really is a Swiss Army knife of vehicles. Hope this helped and good luck on whichever you decide on!

[@grn4rnr]

Thanks for sharing

[@AmpdAdventures]

Right on! Appreciate you and hope it helped!

Awesome video! I have subscribed 🤙🏻🤘🏼and have already grabbed some items you listed. I've had mine (blue beast) since mid 22 as well and absolutely dig it... curious what your thoughts (experience?) are on roof-top tents with the R1T?

[@AmpdAdventures]

Sweet! Glad the video helped! I unfortunatly don’t have any experience with any tents thus far. I have been eyeing Thule’s Approach RTT but there’s so many to choose from. But I personally like the idea of putting it across the bed which is a big reason I went with the Caprock system which just makes placing things above the bed very simple. Just my opinion though. I would have gotten a RTT but alas I don’t have the means currently to store it when not
In use.

[@ChrisPoli]

Which caprock did you get? Is that the xl? And if so, is that a direct mount to the Rivian mount point for the cross bars? Or can you use the caprock on the current mounted Rivian cross bars?

[@AmpdAdventures]

So this is the XL size. It mounts directly into the Rivian mounting points using Thule’s Fitkit (Kit#18739) and Thule’s Fixpoints (710071). Very easy to install these and opens up the door to mount pretty much any Thule rack system.

Hey, is that the silver one? I get mine end of July. Are you happy with the color choice?

[@AmpdAdventures]

@@StardustX24 yes it sure is! I absolutely love it. I was a big Limestone lover for the longest but ultimately decided on the silver and have no regrets. Love this color and would choose it again, you won’t regret choosing it. Congrats, also on your soon to be Rivian!

Can you share more about how your awning is mounted?

[@AmpdAdventures]

Yea! I’ll try to explain best on here but maybe I can do a quick video next time I take it out. Basically the mounting brackets are what you see in this video. The bolts are slid through the cross bars. Whenever I want to take the awning there’s a lip on the brackets which catches on the mounts and then I just position the awning and tighten some bolts to secure it. lol sorry it’s a lot but next trip I take it I’ll add it to the video and talk about it more.

[@zonehawk]

@@AmpdAdventures Thanks for the response, makes total sense. Appreciate the info!

[@brandonk8450]

Can you please share the link for sunglasses holder?

[@AmpdAdventures]

Ah! I forgot that one! I’ll add in just a bit for ya.

[@rajanikanthabeedupally9632]

How is the ride quality compared to bmw x5

[@AmpdAdventures]

Not sure, I don’t have much experience driving an X5. But the ride quality to me is awesome.

[@jazminforbes209]

Is that the limestone or silver color?

[@AmpdAdventures]

This is the LA Silver color. The lighting sometimes makes it seem more matte like a Limestone.

[@ronthompson9036]

That’s a beautiful color. I really like it.

[@DropoutJerome]

Think I’d rather buy a ridgeline rather than this truck.

[@AmpdAdventures]

Whichever you’d be most happiest with!
