Rivian R1T Pickup

Not sure where you get that he is exceeding his load rating.

 

Trailer is 4k and bobcat 770 is 10k, assuming its a 770 i cant really see it so I could be wrong.

 

You aren't wrong, it's a T770 in a Big Tex 14LP trailer.

Going off the numbers I found, the T770 10,500lbs and the trailer could be anywhere from 3,870 lbs to 4,250 lbs. So possibly up to 14,750-ish lbs.

I'm not knowledgeable about Rivians enough to say whether that's within ranges or nor not. Like I said, it's a "run what ya brung" mentality out here so he likely knows what he's up to.

 

That explains the 70mi range! That's the one massive neg. - towing a heavy trailer kills the range. Towing a TT on a long road trip would suck big time if not impossible depending where your going. For that reason I'll keep my F150 thanks. Other than that it would be sweet to have a Rivian for general light truck duty and smoke pretty much any car or truck.
