The 2025 Rivian R1T has plenty of range and drives great both on-road and off. The rear seat and bed are smaller than those found on rival trucks but overall we think the R1T is a great choice for an electric pickup.

Overview

Written by automotive expert Michael Cantu

11/4/2024

It doesn't look like it from the outside, but Rivian made significant updates to its electric truck. Slightly larger than a midsize truck, most of the changes are under the R1T's skin and include updated powertrains, improved software, new features and more, giving the updated R1T a lot to offer. If you prioritize range, you can get up to 420 miles. Those who want power and acceleration should opt for the new 850-horsepower Tri Max or 1,025-hp Quad Max models. Off-roaders will be impressed by any model's capability, especially with the new Ascend trim's additional off-road modes. Need to tow? The R1T has a competitive towing capacity of 7,700 to 11,000 pounds.

Edmunds spotlight: All of the R1T 2.0's changes

Rivian revised the battery and motor configuration options on the R1T, and it now offers a better-equipped Ascend trim level that's only available in the new tri-motor Tri Max model and in the new quad-motor Quad Max that will be available in 2025. The truck's upgraded infotainment system gets a boost in computing power and offers Connect+, which gives owners access to various streaming apps like Apple Music and YouTube, although Apple CarPlay and Android Auto still aren't available. The R1T also receives updated cameras, sensors and software for improved performance of the truck's various advanced driver aids, some of which are new. Rivian reworked the air suspension system for improved comfort and handling and gave the R1T an upgraded electrical architecture, including improved battery packs, and faster computer processors.

Competitors to consider

The Ford F-150 Lightning is one of the R1T's original rivals. It's an excellent alternative that's larger and looks and drives much like a regular gas-powered truck. The GMC Hummer EV pickup is pricier, but like the Rivian, it offers immense power, long range and solid off-road prowess. As for newer competitors, the Tesla Cybertruck is a compelling alternative if you can get past its polarizing design. The GMC Sierra EV and Chevrolet Silverado EV, which are built on the same platform, are impressive electric trucks that shouldn't be overlooked. The R1T's latest rival is the Ram 1500 Rev.

What’s it like to live with?

We have put over 25,000 miles on our 2022 Rivian R1T Launch Edition. Besides putting it through our full battery of tests, we have taken it on road trips and off-road adventures and to the service center for maintenance and repairs. Our staff has plenty to say about the R1T. Check out all the details here.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Reese Counts

Great

8.4

out of 10

We drove the 2025 Rivian R1T on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

9.5/10

How does the R1T drive? The R1T rips. We clocked the quad-motor at just 3.3 seconds from 0 to 60 mph, and an R1T Dual with the Max battery and Performance upgrade was only a few tenths off at 3.6 seconds to 60 mph. Braking performance is equally solid, with excellent performance in panic braking and a smooth, easy feel around town. Like many other EVs, the Rivian allows for one-pedal driving. It's adjustable and will bring the truck to a full stop quickly and smoothly.

Around corners, the Rivian R1T is in a league of its own. Simply put, there's not a better-driving EV truck on the road. The steering is light but direct, making the R1T both easy to park and surprisingly nimble on a twisty road. It's also very capable off-road thanks to plenty of ground clearance, short overhangs and a capable all-wheel-drive system.

Comfort

8/10

How comfortable is the R1T? The standard air suspension does a good job of absorbing bumps and imperfections on the road. The ride is firm but agreeable enough for a pickup. The optional all-terrain tires do make the ride a little stiffer than the standard tires, but that's true for all pickups. The all-terrains do increase road noise, too, over the standard all-seasons. The R1T is quieter than the average truck thanks to its silent all-electric powertrain, but there's more wind and road noise than we expect from a vehicle at this price.

The seats are comfortable for a truck, but they're flat and don't offer much lateral support to keep you tight during cornering. The padding is compliant, but we wish it felt a little more snug. Adjusting the climate system is done entirely through the touchscreen, including for things like aiming the vents. It's a frustrating (and very Tesla-like) design, though the controls are straightforward and easy to use. Four-zone climate control gives all passengers some flexibility, though we dislike how the R1T's glass roof lets in too much light and heat from the sun on hot days.

Interior

8/10

How’s the interior? The Rivian's interior is smaller than those of other all-electric trucks like the Ford F-150 Lightning, Tesla Cybertruck and Chevrolet Silverado EV. Rear passengers have less legroom than they might find elsewhere. The adjustable air suspension can lower to make the truck easier to get in and out of, but it can be a climb at the standard ride height.

It's easy to find a good driving position, though the mirrors and steering wheel must be adjusted through the touchscreen. That said, Tesla does the same thing in its truck. The square shape and upright windows make it easy to see out, and the surround-view camera system also comes in handy when parking.

Technology

7.5/10

How’s the tech? The R1T features one of the better infotainment systems around, though it lacks basic features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto that we've come to expect in new trucks these days. The maps are responsive, and it's easy to input directions using the touchscreen or voice commands. You can find charging stations using the navigation and can filter by network type, including Tesla's Supercharger network. Voice commands are powered by Amazon Alexa. While it's not as good as the Google-backed systems, you can do everything from change the climate to ask for a joke or some trivia. Natural language works well too.

The audio system is solid but not particularly standout, though we do like the removable Bluetooth speaker that sits below the center console. It's great for tailgating or camping.

The R1T' advanced driver assist features are getting constant updates as well and there is now a pretty long list of driver aids, including blind-spot monitors that appear in the instrument cluster, adaptive cruise control with automatic lane changes on highways, and an excellent surround-view camera setup. The systems generally worked well in our testing.

Towing and Storage

8/10

How are the towing and storage? The R1T's physical dimensions are closer to that of a midsize pickup than a full-size truck like the Ford F-150 Lightning. That means a smaller bed with less hauling capability than rivals. Hauling capacity sits at 11,000 pounds. That ties the Tesla Cybertruck and beats the Lightning, but it's short of what you'll find with a gas-powered pickup. Electric range falls off when a trailer is hooked up, too. Outside of the bed, cargo space is much better. The 11-cubic-foot front truck provides lockable storage, as do the underbed storage bin and the clever tunnel that runs through the center. There are lots of places to store stuff out of sight.

Storage inside the cabin is decent, with a deep center console and a big bin between the front seats. There are retractable cupholders out front and an oversize wireless charger. There's surprisingly no glovebox and the door pockets are a little on the small side but have elastic expandable pockets. Installing a car seat could be easier. The anchor points are a bit buried and difficult to access.

Range and Efficiency

7.5/10

How are the range and efficiency? Rivian offers a variety of R1T configurations that have an EPA-estimated range between 270 miles and 420 miles. The R1T Dual with the Max battery, Performance upgrade and 22-inch wheels we tested had an EPA-estimated range of 380 miles, though we fell short of that in our testing and managed 357 miles on a single charge. Our test truck also used more energy than expected: 44.9 kWh for every 100 miles of driving. On the upside, quad-motor Rivians we've previously tested exceeded their EPA estimates by a respectable margin. In general, the R1T's real-world results are as good as or better than what you'll get from the F-150 Lightning or Cybertruck.

Value

8.5/10

Is the R1T a good value? While it's more expensive than a base Tesla Cybertruck or Ford F-150 Lightning, the R1T looks a lot more compelling when you start comparing the trucks feature-by-feature and spec-by-spec. Rivian offers more power and more range than either of those two, with a more premium interior and solid build quality. It's not what we would consider luxurious, but it's nicer than what you expect from a truck. Features are nearly identical across the range, with the larger battery packs adding most of the extra cost of the vehicle.

Rivian stands behind its product with a five-year/60,000-mile comprehensive warranty, eight-year/175,000-mile powertrain and battery warranty (battery to retain at least 70% capacity), and corrosion protection for eight years/unlimited miles. Roadside assistance is also offered for the length of the comprehensive warranty.

Wildcard

9/10

The R1T, be it the dual- or quad-motor version, is one of the best-driving trucks on the road today. It's not as sharp as a sports car, but you can hustle through corners with a verve that's unexpected in any pickup truck. It's dang quick, too, and not just for a truck. And that's just on the street. Take the R1T off-road and you can really have some fun and explore the truck's true limits. The design is handsome and clean, too, both inside and out. It's striking but not in the love-it-or-hate-it way that the Cybertruck is. It's distinct, not off-putting.

Which R1T does Edmunds recommend?

The Dual Large model with the Adventure trim is the way to go because it strikes a good balance considering price, range and features. Its driving range of 330 miles should be enough for most electric-truck shoppers, and its 533 horsepower and 4.5-second 0-60 mph sprint is plenty for most drivers. The Adventure trim also comes well equipped with a lengthy list of features. However, if you have the six-figure budget for the Tri Max and Quad Max models, we won't stop you from getting one.

Cool Truck Let Down by Poor Build Quality

Sean, 04/20/2025

2025 Rivian R1T Dual Standard 4dr Crew Cab AWD SB w/Standard Battery, Adventure Interior (electric DD)

I have owned quite a few different cars over the past few years and the Rivian R1T was always high up on my list of cars to have. This is my second personal EV, I traded-in my Audi e-tron for this R1T. Before that I had a Jeep Grand Cherokee and still have my 2017 Ford F-350 for my landscaping side work and snow plowing. I have driven the truck for a few weeks now and experienced it … enough to list my pros and cons: PROS: - Cool Design: I love how the R1T looks inside and out, especially the Forest Green paint color. It is the perfect-size truck, and I have gotten lots of compliments on it. The interior has a nice simplicity to it but looks modern and upscale. The materials they used are all high quality and have a nice touch to it (except for the door handles, more on that later). - Good Technology: the touchscreen is quick with an easy-to-use interface and nice graphics. The stylized car settings page is cool and shows very useful information, especially when changing things like the drive mode and air suspension height. CarPlay would be a nice addition but everything you need is available in the system plus Rivian is always releasing new software updates to add new features. They just need to add text messaging support. - Mobile App: the Rivian mobile app works great for pre-conditioning the cabin. - Comfortable Seats - Good Ride Quality (for a truck) - Quick Acceleration - Relatively Quiet on the Highway (on smooth pavement) - Decent Range (for an electric truck): I am mostly on the highway and drive around 72mph and am averaging 2.3 miles per kilowatt right now in the New England late winter/early spring season. The estimated driving range is not very accurate though. CONS: - Poor Build Quality (and this is my main gripe): Off the bat when I took delivery of the truck it had some minor panel misalignment with the rear passenger doors and the gear tunnel doors were missing paint along the edges. The service center assured me they will fix it, and I made an appointment which is almost two months out (a bit concerning). Unfortunately, that is the least of the build issues. The doors on this truck are built terribly! Every door rattles like crazy when going over uneven payment even at low speeds. The exterior handles when they pop out make a loud squeak noise if the temperature is over 50F. Luckily, I temporarily fixed this by spraying a dry lubricant into the mechanism, we will see how long it lasts. The interior door grab handles also creak when opening/closing the door. Everyone that has gotten into the truck has noticed that it does not matter how hard you grip the door handle, it will creak no matter what. It is crazy how Rivian could mess up the doors this badly given that this is meant to be an off-roading vehicle and should be durable and well put together. I can only imagine the amount of rattling when going off-road! - Terrible Premium Sound System: I paid for the upgraded audio system, and it is probably the worst sound system I have had in a car. Some songs sound okay at high volume, but others sound muddy, or the voices are not clear. The surround sound seems nonexistent despite the number of speakers, it just sounds like everything is coming from the center dash speaker despite changing balance/fade to the rear. I messed around the EQ a bit, but I will have to wait till Rivian releases another software update to hopefully improve it. - HVAC System: the heat pump on the Rivian is very loud when you are first stepping-in, and you can feel a slight vibration from it. It does not matter if its A/C or heat, you will hear it for the first few minutes of the drive. The heat on my R1T did stop working once halfway through my commute when it was 30F outside. When I restarted the truck for the drive home it worked fine, hoping that it was a one-time incident. The HVAC in the Audi e-tron was quiet and worked much better in the cold, this truck does not seem to blow out as much warm air. - Long Service Appointment Wait Times: As I mentioned at the beginning the service center appointment, I made was two months out for the build quality issues. I am a little worried if something major goes wrong with the truck or if it becomes undrivable that I will be without my R1T for a long time. - Rivian Autonomy Plus is Meh: the hands-free highway driving system at this time of my review is not that great. It turns off at random sections off the highway and does not drive very smoothly at stop and go traffic. I will barely use it now and will wait till they release an update that improves it. Disappointed as this was one feature I hoped to use a lot for my daily highway commute. VERDICT: It is a cool truck that drives nice for a truck, but the build quality issues really dampen the ownership experience. If the sound system were good, it would at least mask some of the interior rattles but sadly it is not. Rivian is still a new company, so I do not expect them to get everything right on the first try. I was hoping that the Gen2 version was going to be better hence why I finally took the plunge but I'm left somewhat disappointed. I honestly do not see myself keeping this R1T very long, I will probably go back to a legacy automaker as most of them know how to at least put together a good vehicle.
