- Verdict
This Rivian is a Launch Edition and it is equipped with a large battery pack that is good for a total EPA driving range of 314 miles. Since the truck we are testing is also equipped with an Adventure package and 34-inch all-terrain tires – the driving range is around 280 miles. As soon as we hooked up our trailer, the Rivian estimated the driving r...
This is the world’s toughest towing test because it’s an 8-mile stretch of steepest allowable interstate highway at 7% grade. The maximum elevation is 11,158 feet above sea level. We run this test at a speed limit of 60 MPH.
On the way down the mountain, we gained 2% of battery by using regenerative braking. I expected to see a slightly larger energy gain, but a 2% gain means we put approximately 2.7 kWh of energy back into the battery. While the trailer brake gain was still set at 5 out of 10, I never saw a symbol in the gauge cluster that trailer brakes were being ac...
On the way up the mountain, the truck used 16% of the battery. Indeed, this is an extreme test. The R1T used approximately 21.44 kWh to climb the 8-mile grade. When we test gasoline-powered pickups with the same trailer on the Ike Gauntlet, they show approximately 4.0 MPG going up the same stretch of highway. It means a truck like the 2022 Toyota T...
Pros: The Rivian R1T is a great pickup for towing trailers because it’s a heavy and stable platform. This truck weighs about 7,100 lbs. The height-adjustable suspension is very comfortable, even when loaded heavy. I did not experience any trailer sway. There is always more than enough power on tap. Cons: Naturally, the driving range goes down signi...
