The Utah Ducati Run · Monday, June 29, 2026
San Diego Alpine, Utah
Driving the Rivian R1T to Alpine, Utah to pick up a 2025 Ducati Panigale V4 Tricolore off Bring a Trailer, then towing it home on a U-Haul trailer. A different, far lighter trailer than the Airstream, for a clean read on what a light load does to EV towing range.

A second trailer, on the same truck, for a clean comparison
Every other tow on this site is the 6,000-pound Airstream. This run flips it: the Rivian R1T drives to Utah empty, then comes home pulling a 2025 Ducati on a rented U-Haul motorcycle trailer, maybe a thousand pounds all in. Same truck, same I-15, a fraction of the load. That makes the return leg a controlled read on what trailer weight actually costs an EV, and the outbound a clean baseline for unladen R1T efficiency. We track everything the way we did San Diego to Chicago: charge by charge, elevation, wind, and temperature.
See how the Airstream version reads in the 6,000-mile reality check and the rig-wide towing data.

Bought on Bring a Trailer · waiting in Alpine, Utah
The reason for the miles. It comes home on a U-Haul trailer behind the Rivian, which is the whole point of logging the run: a real number for what a light trailer does to EV range, next to the Airstream tow data.
