About Rivian R1T
Tech startup Rivian wasn't the first company to produce an electric pickup truck, but the 2023 R1T's clever design and impressive performance earned it a spot on our 10Best Trucks and SUVs list for 2023. Slightly larger than a Ford Ranger, the R1T is powered by two or four electric motors, depending upon the model, with the most powerful version making a robust 835 horsepower and enabling maximum towing of up to 11,000 pounds. Its more compact size makes it easier to maneuver in tight places than gargantuan full-size offerings such as the Ford F-150 Lightning and the GMC Hummer EV SUT. The Rivian's cabin is outfitted with luxury features and plenty of tech, including a large 16.0-inch infotainment system and a separate digital gauge display. We've enjoyed test-driving the R1T both on- and off-road, and the latter situation was aided by the truck's standard adjustable air suspension, available all-terrain tires, and optional carbon-fiber underbody shield. There's a price for all this awesomeness, though, and no matter how you spec it, the R1T is an expensive rig—but so are its rivals.
