The Rivian R1T is one of the higher-end options for EV trucks, as even the base edition comes with amenities you typically only see in higher trim levels on other trucks, like ventilated seats and wood interior trim. Of course, that all comes at a price. The base Rivian R1T is $71,700 and the Launch Edition can range up to $88,800. On top of that, there are several add-ons, including a stronger engine and larger battery pack, that can add well over $10,000 to the price tag. Fully loaded, the truck can easily top $100,000.
There are two engine options on the R1T. The first is a dual electric motor configuration that makes up to 665 horsepower and 700 pound-feet of torque. Those numbers increase to 835 horsepower with the optional quad electric motor. With the stronger motor, the truck can get from zero to 60 MPH in 3.4 seconds, which is blisteringly fast for a truck. According to Rivian, the truck can tow up to 11,000 pounds with a 1,760 pound payload capacity. Like most EV trucks, the range depletes quickly when you tow, but so does regular fuel economy on gas-powered trucks.
Speaking of fuel economy, the Rivian R1T gets between 64 MPGe combined or 78 MPGe combined depending on your configuration. Those configurations boast a total range of either 270 miles, 352 miles, or 410 miles depending on which battery size you opt for. When properly equipped, it’s one of the best trucks if you want to get the most bang for your buck when it comes to efficiency.
