WE'VE HAD THE RIVIAN R1T FOR 8 DAYS OF FULL TESTING! HERE'S THE FULL STORY OF WHAT WE EXPERIENCED

EV Channels Review

The Out of Spec Reviews team spent an intensive week testing the Rivian R1T, finding it to be a highly capable and impressive electric pickup. They highlight its exceptional towing performance, noting it significantly outperformed the F-150 PowerBoost in stability and driving feel, even with a substantial headwind. The R1T's suspension is praised for its comfort, absorbing road imperfections far better than traditional trucks. The Meridian sound system is called stellar, among the best heard in any vehicle. While the team acknowledges the vehicle's holistic design and thoughtful features, like the integrated Bluetooth speaker and its dim camping light, they also point out areas for improvement. The lack of battery pre-conditioning for charging in cold weather was a notable issue, leading to slower charging speeds. The infotainment system's lack of Apple CarPlay was also mentioned. Despite these minor drawbacks, the overall verdict is overwhelmingly positive, with the R1T being described as a vehicle that 'does everything' exceptionally well.
