If they had stuck to pavement, as the majority of Rivian owners will, there'd have been no need of any support vehicle whatsoever.
The RAM suffered component destruction, just like the EVs.
And if you'll read the article, you will discover that, at times, the Rivians had to come to the rescue of the RAM.
Also, the low speeds of off-roading placed the RAM's BSFC in its most disadvantageous location of the engine map, while the electric motors were completely unaffected, causing them to worry about fuel for the RAM, not the RIVIANs.
