THE 2025 RIVIAN R1T TRI-MOTOR MAX PACK DOES ITS BEST WITH ALL TERRAIN TIRES! 70-MPH RANGE TEST

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Rivian R1T Tri-motor Max Pack, equipped with all-terrain tires, achieved a real-world highway range of 298 miles at 70 mph. While this result slightly surpasses a previous test of an older R1T with similar tires (289 miles), the reviewer expressed disappointment due to a decrease in efficiency, achieving 2.1 miles per kWh compared to the older model's 2.3 miles per kWh. This is particularly notable as the 2025 model features a new heat pump, which was expected to improve efficiency in the mild winter conditions (around 50°F). The reviewer speculates that either wind conditions were slightly worse than perceived, or the heat pump's energy savings were minimal given the large battery and overall vehicle inefficiency. Despite the efficiency concerns, the R1T's ride comfort, sound system, and overall luxury were praised. However, the lack of Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and the driver assistance systems' occasional unreliability were noted drawbacks. Compared to competitors, the R1T's range falls behind the Silverado EV but is competitive with the Cybertruck and superior to the F-150 Lightning and Hummer EV.
