HOW DO THEY HAUL? F-150 LIGHTNING VS RIVIAN R1T CARGO CARRYING COMPARISON

EV Channels Review

This comparison video delves into the cargo-carrying capabilities of the Ford F-150 Lightning and the Rivian R1T. While the Lightning offers a more traditional, wider, and deeper truck bed with greater aftermarket accessory support, the Rivian distinguishes itself with innovative features like the gear tunnel and a lower loading height thanks to its adaptive air suspension. The Rivian also boasts more covered cargo space overall, combining its frunk and gear tunnel, and offers a slight edge in payload capacity and towing. However, the Lightning provides more power outlets and a larger, more conventional frunk. The reviewer highlights the trade-offs: the Lightning excels in raw utility and accessory options, while the Rivian prioritizes innovative storage solutions and adaptive functionality, albeit with a less robust power tailgate and a more challenging gear tunnel access.
