2022 Rivian R1T
Episode 4119
Well, here it is, the first all-electric pickup truck to be delivered and its not from one of the big three. It’s the 2022 Rivian R1T. Startup Rivian was founded in 2009, but it’s taken till now for deliveries to begin. The crewcab R1T pickup will soon be joined by the R1S SUV, and an EV commercial van for Amazon and others. Rivian says the four-motor, all-wheel drive R1T is capable of 0-60 mph in 3 seconds and our limited time in it confirms that. The EPA driving range is rated at 314 miles. It’s useful too, with a roomy cabin, front trunk, a novel cross-vehicle gear tunnel, a 54-inch cargo bed with a 1,760 pound capacity, and a max tow rating is 11,000 pounds. The current base price for the all-electric Rivian R1T is $67,500. And, we’ll have much more on all things Rivian coming up soon.
