2024 Rivian R1T

The 2024 R1T is an all-electric pickup truck produced by Rivian, an electric vehicle manufacturer. There's a lot that's special about the R1T, starting with its size. It's smaller than large trucks like the Ford F-150 but larger than midsize trucks like the Toyota Tacoma. It's also atypical in that it's only available as a crew cab with a short 4.5-foot bed. But it does have standard all-wheel drive thanks to the R1T's dual- or quad-motor powertrain. The driving range depends on the battery pack size and motor configuration but the EPA estimates should land between 270 and 400 miles.

The R1T was the first electric truck to hit the market, but you'll have more choices to pick from for the 2024 model year. The Tesla Cybertruck is the splashiest truck in this field thanks to that eye-catching design and stainless-steel bodywork. If you want a more traditional take on the EV pickup, check out the Ford F-150 Lightning. The all-new Chevrolet Silverado EV is another interesting alternative.

The R1T can do things most trucks only dream of. A quad-motor R1T we tested blasted its way from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds, which is similar to sports cars like the Chevrolet Corvette. The dual-motor R1T is just a tenth of a second slower. The Rivian also handles very well, better than any truck thanks in part to its unique electro-hydraulic roll control system that's used instead of traditional anti-roll bars. The R1T also boasts impressive off-road chops. Its adjustable air suspension helps provide a sky-high maximum ground clearance of 14.9 inches and a wading depth of over 3 feet. The quad-motor configuration is especially capable because it can adjust power output at each wheel independently to make the most of available traction, though the dual-motor model is still plenty capable on rough terrain.

Edmunds bought a 2022 Rivian R1T Launch Edition for our long-term test fleet, and we have driven it upward of 20,000 miles. We put the truck through its paces on our test track, took it on road trips, measured its real-world driving range, and much more. Check out everything we've done with our Rivian R1T here.
