Overview
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.

Edmunds spotlight: Performance and off-road capability
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.
Competitors to consider
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. Check out our test team's Edmunds Expert Rating below to help you find out if the R1T is the right electric truck for you.

edmunds TESTED
On the surface, the Rivian R1T hasn't changed vastly since it launched. Look a bit harder and you'll find that the American automaker has improved everything from the tech to the ride quality to the overall fit and finish. It remains one of the quickest and best-driving trucks on the road, with plenty of off-road potential to boot. It's smaller than other electric trucks, and it's missing a few tech features we look for, but as a whole the R1T is still a handsome, comfortable and entertaining pickup.
How does the R1T drive? The R1T launched solely in a quad-motor setup, though Rivian has added a more affordable dual-motor model to the lineup. In terms of driving dynamics, performance and capability, the dual-motor loses nearly nothing to its quad-motor sibling. We clocked the quad-motor at just 3.3 seconds from 0 to 60 mph, and a R1T Performance Dual-Motor AWD was only a few tenths off at 3.6 seconds to 60 mph. Those figures are as good as or better than the 0-60 times of any pickup truck Edmunds has tested, including supercharged monsters like the Ram 1500 TRX and Ford F-150 Raptor R.
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 winding road. And as you might expect, the R1T is quite capable off-road thanks to plenty of ground clearance, short overhangs and a solid all-wheel-drive system. The quad-motor offers a bit more capability than the dual-motor, but both are plenty capable when the going gets tough.
Comfort
8/10
How comfortable is the R1T? Rivian has done a lot to improve the R1T's overall comfort since the truck launched, both for new models and with over-the-air updates for trucks that are already in owners' hands. 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 tons of lateral support. 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) move, 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? When the R1T launched, Rivian's infotainment system was laggy and cumbersome to use. Updates have fixed a lot of the issues and the infotainment is now one of the better ones out there, with a large, clear screen and generally easy-to-navigate menus. Quick-access menus make commonly used features easy to access and cut down on menu hunting.
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 seats are comfortable but on the flat side, though that's typical for a truck. They offer decent adjustment as well as standard heating in both rows and ventilated seats up front. 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. Outward visibility is solid, especially with the surround-view camera Rivian added with an update after the truck launched. The square shape and upright windows make it easy to find the truck's corners.
How’s the tech? Over-the-air updates were pioneered by Tesla but have benefited nearly every automaker that's adopted them. The R1T now 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.
Rivian includes a host of standard driver aids like blind-spot warning and adaptive cruise control as standard equipment. While the features have improved since launch, as a whole the aids lack the polish of some rivals. Adaptive cruise holds good gaps and adjusts speed smoothly, but we noticed some phantom braking on winding roads with parked cars. Bright light tends to overwhelm the camera system, temporarily making some features unavailable.
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 410 miles. The Dual-Motor Performance with the Max battery pack 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?
We recommend most R1T buyers get the dual motors with the Max battery pack. It provides much more range than the quad motor while offering excellent on- and off-road performance. It doesn't hurt that it's a bit less expensive too.
Helpful trims summary and side-by-side comparison chart
Rivian R1T models
The 2024 Rivian R1T electric pickup is available in one trim level called Adventure. In its base Dual-Motor configuration, it comes standard with two electric motors — one on each axle — to provide all-wheel drive. The dual-motor version's combined output is estimated at 533 horsepower and 610 lb-feet of torque. For more power, Rivian offers a Performance Dual-Motor version. It ups power output to 665 hp and 829 lb-ft. At the top of the lineup is the Quad-Motor with an individual electric motor at each wheel. This four-motor R1T tops the lineup with its 835 hp and 908 lb-ft. Keep reading for more information about the R1T's available battery packs and most significant standard and optional features.
There are four available battery packs for the R1T: Standard, Standard+, Large and Max. Each one is more progressively expensive but provides more maximum range when fully charged. Not every battery pack can be combined with each of the motor configurations mentioned above, however.

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!
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.
Horrible service ruins an otherwise stellar vehicl
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.
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.
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2024 Rivian R1T, so we've included reviews for other years of the R1T since its last redesign.
We Own Nine Different Electric Cars, Trucks and SUVs: These Are the Ones We’d Buy Again
NOTE: This video is about the 2022 Rivian R1T, but since the 2024 Rivian R1T is part of the same generation, our earlier analysis still applies.
We’ve got nine different EVs in the Edmunds long-term test fleet, and each one has provided its own unique experience … and, in an unfortunately large number of cases, problems. In this video, Edmunds’ Brian Wong and Clint Simone give you an overview of each electric vehicle in our… fleet and answer a key question: Would we buy it again?
The F-150 Lightning is the Edmunds Top Rated Electric Truck for 2023. Its lower starting price makes it accessible to more buyers, and the Work Truck model is a good option for commercial fleets wanting EVs. The Lightning currently provides a driving range of 240 or 320 miles depending on the battery pack, which is less than what most of the R1T's configurations offer. Both trucks have competitive towing and hauling capacities, but the R1T has superior off-road capability and sports a more distinctive look. Check out our long-term F-150 Lighting here.
The Silverado EV is one of the latest electric trucks. It's much more practical and less expensive than the related GMC Hummer EV. The Silverado EV will eventually offer some higher-spec trims, but for now it's only available as a relatively no-frills work truck. The Silverado EV's estimated driving range of upward of 400 miles is impressive, among the best of any EV on the road, and Chevy says 100 miles of range can be added in just 10 minutes with an appropriate fast-charging station. Its current max towing and hauling capacities are strong but less than the R1T's.
The long-awaited Tesla Cybertruck is here, and, as expected, it's a bit of a mixed bag. Tesla delivered on the promised design, but range and price aren't what was originally promised. That said, we were generally impressed by the Cybertruck's range, tech and overall comfort. The R1T does feel more premium than the Cybertruck, and if you compare the dual-motor models, the Rivian is less expensive than the Tesla.
The R1T is the first vehicle from electric vehicle maker Rivian and it was also the first all-electric pickup truck to hit the market, beating the Ford F-150 Lightning. It's not quite as large as the Lightning and, spacewise, it sits between a midsize and a full-size truck. Its distinctive styling certainly helps it stand out, as does its cargo-carrying versatility. Like some other EVs, it has a front trunk. But it also has a special enclosed cargo area located between the cargo bed and rear seats that can work well for storing long and thin items such as strollers or golf bags.
How much range and power does the R1T have?
We're expecting the 2024 Rivian R1T to offer three battery sizes: the Standard pack (with up to 270 miles, according to Rivian), Large pack (with up to 350 miles) and Max pack (with up to 400 miles). The most modest configuration, the 600-horsepower Dual-Motor AWD, is available with any of the three battery packs. There's also a Performance Dual-Motor AWD powertrain option with 700 hp. It's offered with the Large or Max pack. At the time of our review's publication, the 835-hp Quad-Motor AWD model is offered only with the Large pack. However, Rivian is known to make rolling changes so some of this information could change by the time the 2024 R1T becomes available.
Edmunds says
The 2024 Rivian R1T gets high marks for its sporty driving dynamics, clever storage solutions, comfortable cabin and off-road capability. But you will have more options for an electric pickup for 2024. Besides the F-150 Lightning, there's the Chevrolet Silverado EV, and the Ram 1500 Rev is due for the 2025 model year.
