ROCK CRAWLING REVIEW: THE NEW RIVIAN R1T QUAD MOTOR IS A SERIOUS OFF-ROADER!

EV Channels Review

The Rivian R1T Quad Motor, in its Gen 2 iteration, proves itself a highly capable off-roader, tackling challenging terrain like Granny's Revenge with impressive articulation and comfort. The reviewer highlights the vehicle's sophisticated off-road modes and customizable settings, noting its ability to make its substantial 7,000 lb weight feel manageable. While praising the improved throttle response over the first generation, the reviewer suggests that a traditional torque converter and mechanical lockers might offer a slight edge in control and modulation, particularly on steep inclines. Despite these minor preferences, the R1T's performance, especially its comfortable ride even in high settings and its adeptness at navigating technical obstacles, earns genuine admiration, positioning it as a strong contender in the premium electric off-road segment.
