WHAT'S IT REALLY LIKE TO LIVE WITH AN ALL-ELECTRIC RIVIAN R1T? WE HAVE THE ANSWERS!

EV Channels Review

The Rivian R1T pickup truck is put to the test in this comprehensive review, highlighting its unique position in the market. While its "Launch Edition" trim comes with a premium price tag (around $77,000), it's presented as competitive with high-end gasoline trucks. The R1T's size is noted as being between mid-size and full-size segments, offering a comfortable cabin for five and a 4.5-foot bed that extends to 7 feet with the tailgate down. The review praises its impressive 835 horsepower and 906 lb-ft of torque, enabling a 0-60 mph time of 3.6 seconds, outperforming many performance vehicles. Off-road capabilities are strong, with 15 inches of ground clearance in its highest setting and a robust underbody, though the air suspension can feel stiff at maximum height and exhibits some clunks. On the downside, the review points out wind noise from the mirrors, inconsistent interior build quality in certain areas, a poorly integrated wireless charger, and a charge port that opens too easily. Range is officially rated at 314 miles, but real-world testing with all-terrain tires suggests closer to 280 miles, with charging taking over 20 hours on a Level 2 charger and 41 minutes for a 20-80% charge on a 350kW DC fast charger.
