The 2022 R1T combines a mind-blowing mix of performance, comfort, utility and capability. Its four electric motors produce enough power to make most sports cars blush, and you can haul the family while towing an 11,000-pound trailer right behind you for a weekend of exploration. That said, the Rivian still has some work to do when it comes to its user-interface software and advanced driving aids. We experienced a fair number of glitches in our test vehicle that we're hoping get resolved with software updates. A lack of full smartphone integration is also a bit of a bummer.

As you might imagine, the R1T is no ordinary pickup. For one, this all-electric machine has four motors, one for each wheel. And its performance specs are impressive. It's built to tow as much as 11,000 pounds. And when it is empty, it can accelerate to 60 mph in about 3.5 seconds or cruise more than 300 miles on a full charge. Want to go off-road? There's plenty of clearance to avoid rocks and ruts thanks to short body overhangs, a smooth underbody, and a height-adjustable suspension that allows you to raise the body of the truck when desired.
Sizewise, the R1T is a bit of a tweener. It's not as big as your average 1500 series full-size crew-cab truck, but it's bigger than any crew-cab truck you'll see in the midsize segment. It also comes in just one body configuration with a 4.5-foot cargo bed. That's short even compared to the beds of midsize trucks, but there are some cool storage features you don't get in a traditional truck such as a large front trunk and a so-called gear tunnel. This is a log-shaped enclosed cargo area located between the cargo bed and rear seats that should work well for storing long and thin items such as strollers or golf bags.
The R1T is Rivian's first vehicle to market, and it will soon be followed by the R1S, which is the SUV version of the R1T pickup. There's a lot riding on the R1T's success, and thankfully Rivian has nailed it. Whether you're shopping for a pickup, an EV or both, the R1T is well worth considering. Read our test team's Expert Rating to learn more about its performance, utility, Edmunds-tested real-world range and more.
What's it like to live with?
We finally got our hands on a 2022 Rivian R1T and are spending a year putting 20,000 miles on it while it lives in our long-term review fleet. We'll be testing all of its nifty features and seeing what we like about the all-new truck as well as what falls short. Check out our experiences with our 2022 Rivian R1T here.
Edmunds Expert Rating
edmunds TESTED
by the Edmunds Experts
Great
8.4
out of 10
We drove the 2022 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 Rivian R1T is almost an impossibly versatile vehicle. For starters, it zipped from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds in our testing. It also goes around turns better and stops in a shorter distance than any other pickup currently on the market. Did we mention the R1T is roughly the size of a midsize truck but weighs 7,150 pounds? That's heavy-duty truck territory.
The advantage of having four electric motors, other than insanely quick acceleration, is the amount of regenerative braking you can access. This undoubtedly helps the R1T come to a stop quicker and even allows for one-pedal driving, which means you can speed up and slow to a stop solely using the accelerator.
What about off-roading, you say? The R1T has legitimate off-roading chops thanks to plenty of ground clearance and short overhangs. How you'll recharge out in the middle of nowhere is an unanswered question, but at least you can take satisfaction in knowing the R1T will get you there.

Comfort
8/10
How comfortable is the R1T? The Rivian is more comfortable than most other pickups. One obvious key advantage is its quiet electric powertrain that helps keep things serene, but the R1T also does a good job of keeping much of the wind and ambient noise out of the cabin, even if some road noise manages to creep in.
Ride comfort isn't quite as cushy as the Honda Ridgeline's or even the Ram 1500's, but for a truck weighing as much as a heavy-duty hauler, the adaptive air suspension does a commendable job of softening most road irregularities. The seats look great and are decently comfortable, but the adjustments are fairly basic and lateral support a bit light.
Rivian definitely took a page out of Tesla's playbook with the climate controls. Vents are adjusted via the touchscreen, which feels simultaneously futuristic and overcomplicated. But with four-zone control and multiple vents for rear passengers, there's a lot of coverage and customization.

Interior
8/10
How’s the interior? The Rivian's adjustable air suspension can raise and lower the ride height by 6.5 inches, allowing for pretty easy entry and exit by truck standards. The doors are a good size too, affording good head and leg clearance, as long as the gear tunnel doors aren't open when you're sliding out of the rear seats. Passenger space is ample front and rear. The rear seat isn't as roomy as a typical full-size crew cab's, but it's better than those in most midsize trucks.
Our biggest criticism of the R1T is its touchscreen-based user interface. Most of the R1T's controls are reliant on the large central touchscreen, which at least in our early-production test vehicle, was extremely glitchy. We already have reservations about screen-controlled cabins, so when they're slow or unresponsive, it's a real downer. We hopeful this is an area Rivian will improve upon with over-the-air software updates.
Ending on a high note, visibility out of the R1T is excellent. The squared-off greenhouse affords an excellent 360-degree view, and anything beyond natural sight lines is picked up by the Rivian's exterior cameras.

Technology
7/10
How’s the tech? By far the most disappointing aspect of the Rivian is the current state of its in-car tech. Like Tesla, Rivian opted to create its own in-car multimedia interface rather than adopt Apple CarPlay and Android Auto like most other manufacturers. This would be fine if the system worked, but the Bluetooth connection proved unreliable in our test truck. And despite plenty of USB power ports in the cabin (six to be exact), there's no option to connect and transmit media via cable.
We liked how the integrated navigation system could locate chargers, and even provided live availability and max kilowatt output, but we didn't like how the map would stop tracking our position if we zoomed in.
Advanced driving aids were another area that seemed to be half-baked in our test vehicle. The adaptive cruise control would cancel on us frequently for no apparent reason and sometimes slow for something it would identify as a potential hazard that most other vehicle systems wouldn't have issues with. The lane-centering Highway Assist feature only worked on interstates for us and was unavailable even on free-flowing roads. Hopefully Rivian will fix these issues with future software updates.
One neat feature is the large portable Bluetooth-compatible speaker that stores under the center console cupholders. It automatically gets charged by the R1T's battery when stored and certainly makes tailgating a lot more festive.

Towing and Storage
9/10
How are the towing and storage? Storage is where the Rivian shows real brilliance. For starters, the 11-cubic-foot front trunk is probably large enough to handle much of your weekend grocery needs and then some. The R1T's signature gear tunnel, which is an 11.7-cubic-foot area located between the passenger cabin and bed, can be used to store all sorts of things like golf clubs and snowboards. Rivian even offers a cool (but pricey) portable slide-out camp kitchen that fits in the gear tunnel.
As for in-cabin storage, there's probably more space than there are areas to organize. A deep center armrest bin can easily swallow a 40-ounce water bottle standing up, and it will likely be where you store most of your out-of-sight items. Just in front of that is a large open area down between the driver and front passenger's feet for bags or purses, but there's no glovebox to be found.
As far as truck stats go, the Rivian basically blows any midsize truck away with its 1,760-pound max payload capacity. The cargo bed even features an underfloor cargo hold that can either accommodate a full-size spare or a ton of ice and beverages, just like the Honda Ridgeline's bed. Towing capacity maxes out at an impressive 11,000 pounds, which rivals the capability of even some full-size trucks. But don't expect to get anywhere near the truck's normal driving range when pulling a heavy trailer. Recharging with an attached trailer can also be troublesome because of the layout of most DC fast-charging stations.

Recharging with an attached trailer can also be troublesome because of the layout of most DC fast-charging stations.
Range and Efficiency
7/10
How are the range and efficiency? The Rivian R1T we tested has an EPA-estimated range of 314 miles. The EPA also estimates the truck will use 48 kWh of electricity per 100 miles driven. This is less efficient than other EVs — driving a Chevrolet Bolt for 100 miles will only use 28 kWh, for example — but the Rivian is also the first electric truck and one of the heaviest EVs sold. Considering its performance and utility, the trade-off in efficiency seems worth it.
In Edmunds' real-world testing, we managed to drive 317 miles of full charge. During that time our test truck used 46.9 kWh per 100 miles. This makes the R1T the least efficient EV we've tested to date. To achieve the 317 miles of range, we charged the battery to full for max range, which should only be done for longer road trips. Rivian recommends a lower charge for daily use.
The R1T comes with an 11.5-kW onboard charger, which can add up to 25 mile of range in an hour. Though DC fast-charging rates aren't specified, Rivian says you can add up to 140 miles of range in 20 minutes when using a suitable charging station.

Value
8/10
Is the R1T a good value? The R1T is undoubtedly expensive for a midsize truck. But we think it's worth the price. The underlying hardware feels robust and built to go the distance, and even the cabin materials and design have a look and feel that's appropriate for the price. Some of the finer details — such as the glitchy software and imprecise fit of some interior trim — are somewhat expected for a developing car company. For a first effort, this is pretty impressive.
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 extent of the comprehensive warranty.

Wildcard
9.5/10
One of the hottest anticipated electric vehicles of the year and for a good many reasons. Rivian made a lot of claims during the development of the R1T, and it has made good on most of them. This truck is impressively fast, and its breadth of capability off-road will likely turn some customers into the overlanders they've always dreamed of being.
The design looks unique and futuristic but isn't trying too hard to impress. It's thoughtful and completely purposeful. In fact there's more to it than meets the eye, which is a rarity in this digital age.

2022 Rivian R1T trim level differences
The 2022 Rivian R1T is available in one trim level: Adventure. But note that Rivian also offered a limited-edition Launch Edition version of the Adventure package for early reservation holders, plus a base Explore trim. However, Rivian discontinued the Explore trim in August 2022 and says it never actually built any R1Ts in this configuration. Every R1T Adventure comes with a 135-kW battery pack (the Large pack) that provides an EPA-estimated 314 miles of range (317 miles in Edmunds' real-world range test). The 2022 R1T Adventure also has four electric motors, one powering each wheel and giving the truck all-wheel drive. Combined output of all four motors is 835 horsepower and 908 lb-feet torque. Compare the 2022 Rivian R1T trim levels in-depth.
Which R1T trim does Edmunds recommend?
There's only one available configuration for the R1T that will end up getting built for 2022. As such, ordering one largely comes down to picking a color, interior design and any accessories you might enjoy.

ZERO customer support!

Customer support is not defined in Rivian's dictionary! I had a dead 12v battery and I called to get it replaced and they told me their first available date to send someone is 3 WEEKS out! Every time you call their support, it's hours of wait! Their chat is a joke! any time of the day or night when you open the chat, your number 30-40 is in line with hours of estimated wait!! Worst … customer experience I've ever had!

2022 Rivian R1T Adventure 4dr Crew Cab AWD SB (electric DD)
Like many (I assume), I bought the Rivian wall charger with my R1T. I had it installed on its own 60 amp breaker within a 200 amp panel. It worked nearly flawlessly for a month, occasionally losing its WiFi connection and appearing "offline." After a month, suddenly, the vehicle would charge for 15 minutes, then the charge indicator would turn red, and I'd get a charging error. I would … unplug, try again, turn off the breaker to the charger, try again, etc. IT would take all day to get a small partial charge. I contacted support and spent hours rebooting the vehicle and the charger, until it completely stopped recognizing being plugged in. I had to take pictures of the plug and socket, etc. before escalating the service request. They couldn't figure out whether it was the truck or charger.
Eventually I trouble shot it myself. I had no trouble using the local fast DC or level 2 chargers, my Juicebox 32 amp at my cabin, and the portable Rivian charger worked fine too. So, it was obviously the charger. I asked for service. They then insisted that I take photos of the inside of my electrical panel, zoom in on the circuit breaker, open the Rivian charger and photograph it. It worked fine for a month, then failed, but their explanation is that it's wired incorrectly? I bought a 48 amp Juicebox instead and had it installed on the same circuit. It's been working flawlessly for months and never loses its WiFi connection. I can control the schedule, it logs every charging session, appears more reliable, but cost $800.
I've contacted Rivian multiple times since. They've promised to refund my Rivian charger purchase but I need to wait for an email for instructions to return it. It's been months. I get the runaround every time. They've even claimed that they accidentally "filled out the wrong form." More than a week ago, only after I threatened doing what I'm doing now (warning others of the reality of ownership) did I get a returned phone call. He was very pleasant and apologetic and assured me that he would personally follow up to be sure I got the email with return instructions, either that day or the next. Again, it never happened. It has cost me so much time to chase the promised refund and it's only $500, so I'm going to give up. I'm going to toss the charger in the dumpster because I'm sick of having it take up space in my tight garage, and I'm sick of the aggravation of repeatedly asking them to follow through.
I love the truck. It's a truly awesome vehicle, despite a few bugs. I've driven it on several 700+ mile road trips. However, the support experience is horrendous when compared to traditional new vehicle ownership. I just wanted it fixed, but I had to do the legwork, the trouble shooting, and eventually buy the replacement part myself. I want to warn others so that they think carefully about the type of ownership experience they want when spending $85k on a vehicle. Just pray you don't need service after they have your money.
Amazing Ride and Handling
5 out of 5 starsThe Mighty Quinn, 07/24/2022
2022 Rivian R1T Adventure 4dr Crew Cab AWD SB (electric DD)
I am a month in on ownership, and it has been a great experience, with the overall quality as well as the excellent performance. Well worth my three-year wait! Extremely quiet on the highway, but has tons of power for acceleration. Corners amazingly well considering it is a pick up truck. I cannot think of a better vehicle, considering its versatility and power.
UPDATE: Four months … into ownership, and I am very glad I placed a preorder in 2019 for this amazing vehicle! It has exceeded my expectations in its speed, handling, ride comfort, and practicality. It is not perfect; as others have written, the lack of phone interface is unfortunate and my electric tonneau bed cover is glitchy (they told me a fix is being worked on so they were up front about that), but I am pleased with the other features. No issues with fit and finish. The storage in the front trunk and gear tunnel are great. The seats are very comfortable, and I have great headroom and leg room (needed at 6'6"). The acceleration is outstanding, and the ride level adjustment with the air suspension is a great feature. I am very glad I now have the R1T.
Charging problems and poor self drive
1 out of 5 starsBay Area Resident , 05/25/2023
2022 Rivian R1T Adventure 4dr Crew Cab AWD SB (electric DD)
Rivian sold a truck advising us to never close the truck bed cover - no fix yet
About 7 months later - batteries won’t charge. 350kw charger couldn’t charge truck
Rivian service center is so backed up they can’t even look at it for 10 days
Will be it weeks or months before we have a truck that works again? How long will fix last?
Also - Rivian self drive is far worse than other … manufacturers’ product. On many roads including highways with clear lane strips - driver can NOT activate self drive. Both other brands we own don’t have those problems.
Will Rivian be here in five years?
I wouldn’t buy again.
