THE 2024 RIVIAN R1T IS SHOCKINGLY GOOD AND QUICK ELECTRIC TRUCK FROM A NEW BRAND

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Rivian R1T is lauded as a surprisingly capable and quick electric truck, setting a high benchmark for the segment. The reviewer highlights its impressive acceleration, achieving 0-60 mph in just over 3 seconds with the Quad Motor setup, making it the quickest truck tested. The interior receives praise for its premium feel, high-quality materials, and advanced tech, including dual 16-inch and 12-inch displays, though the lack of Apple CarPlay/Android Auto is noted. Off-road capability is strong, with adjustable air suspension offering up to 15 inches of ground clearance. However, the bed is considered short for traditional truck tasks, and towing capacity, while rated at 11,000 lbs, is expected to significantly reduce range. Build quality is generally good, but minor panel fitment issues were observed. The reviewer suggests the Dual Motor Performance with a large battery pack as a potential sweet spot, offering a balance of performance, range, and value.
