Rivian R1T at a glance
Quick model context before comparing photos and trim-level specifications.
First showcased as a concept in late 2018, the production 2021 Rivian R1T introduces the brand's first-generation electric truck. Positioned as an 'Electric Adventure Vehicle,' the R1T relies on a low-profile skateboard chassis that packages the electric motors, battery pack, and suspension components below the wheel height. This layout creates room for a spacious five-passenger cabin and highly creative storage areas. The R1T targets active buyers looking for traditional truck capabilities, such as a 5-ton towing limit and an 800 kg cargo payload, paired with an advanced electric powertrain. Standard height-adjustable air suspension and an electrohydraulic roll control system ensure the truck remains stable both on the highway and over rugged terrain.
- Power: 710-764 hp
- Transmissions: single-speed reduction gear
- Seating: 5 seats
Rivian R1T overview
Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.
Design
The exterior of the Rivian R1T features clean, slab-sided panels, high ground clearance, and signature full-width horizontal light bars at both ends. Its vertical, stadium-shaped headlights give the truck a distinct front-end identity. Practical cargo solutions include a 1,400 mm bed that extends to 2,100 mm with the tailgate lowered, a 330-liter front trunk under the hood, and a lockable 350-liter Gear Tunnel running transversely through the vehicle's body behind the rear seats.
Interior
Inside the cabin, the R1T features a clean, horizontal dashboard design with wood accents on premium trims and a large central armrest. Infotainment and climate systems are managed via a 15.6-inch central touchscreen, while driver information is displayed on a separate 12.3-inch instrument cluster. Depending on the configuration, premium options include a panoramic glass roof, multi-zone automatic climate control, and heated and ventilated seating for front and rear occupants.
Performance
The R1T is powered by a quad-motor all-wheel-drive system that independently manages torque at each wheel. Two battery capacities are available: a 135-kWh Large Pack offering 764 horsepower and 483 km of range, and a 180-kWh Max Pack generating 710 horsepower with up to 644 km of range. Both variants utilize a single-speed transmission, generate 1,120 Nm of torque, and can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in three seconds. The adaptive air suspension works alongside an electrohydraulic roll-control system to manage body roll without traditional physical anti-roll bars.
Practicality
With its open bed, front trunk, and Gear Tunnel, the R1T offers highly versatile storage options for gear and luggage. The truck is rated for a payload capacity of 800 kg and has a maximum towing capacity of 5 tons, making it suitable for heavy hauling. For off-road journeys, the R1T can wade through water up to one meter deep and offers an adjustable ground clearance that reaches up to 360 mm.
Safety and tech
The R1T is equipped with a comprehensive safety suite designed to support Level 3 autonomous driving assistance. This system utilizes 11 cameras, 12 ultrasonic sensors, and five radars to monitor surrounding traffic and driver attention. Standard driver-assist technologies include lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, forward collision warning, and active headlights. Entertainment is supported by standard smartphone integration and an available 12-speaker Meridian sound system.
Buyer notes
Buyers choosing between R1T configurations should consider their driving range and power preferences. The Large Pack option provides slightly more horsepower, while the Max Pack is optimized for long-distance travel. The Adventure trim includes upscale comforts like ventilated seats and upgraded audio, whereas the Base trim focuses on essential utility features. Equipment availability and packages may vary depending on the local market.
