CAN THE UPGRADED 2025 RIVIAN R1T TOW MY PROJECT BUHANKA VAN WITHOUT BREAKING A SWEAT?

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Rivian R1T, in its upgraded Tri-Motor configuration, proves to be a surprisingly capable workhorse, capable of towing a project van weighing approximately 6,000-7,000 lbs. While the truck's stability and comfortable ride, aided by air suspension, are commendable, the lack of adaptive cruise control and towing mirrors during towing are significant drawbacks. The reviewer noted that the estimated range was cut in half when towing, a realistic expectation for EVs, but the overall efficiency remained impressive, achieving 1.37 miles per kilowatt-hour over a 98-mile towing journey. The reviewer concludes that while not ideal for cross-country towing, the R1T is a viable option for shorter towing tasks and recreational use, solidifying its position as a true pickup truck that balances luxury, performance, and utility, albeit at a premium price point starting around $99,000 and reaching $107,000 for the tested configuration.
