For me, it is an excellent full-electric pickup truck that I would buy anytime! Now that we know what we are up against let us briefly look at the specifications of the Rivian truck. The Rivian R1T is a new generation pickup truck with a fully electric powertrain that has been garnering attention both for its looks and performance.
Currently, the company has unveiled a specially designed pickup truck that has a frame and an extraordinary design, which makes it possible to adjust the bed of the truck according to different heights and positions; thus, they are very useful in loading and unloading the truck, right?
Further, there are four editions of the Rivian R1T (which I will list below), which provide a power output that ranges from 533 up to 1025 horsepower and accelerations from 4.5 to only 2.5 for 0-60mph. Below you can read more details about these editions. Also, the most powerful Rivian R1T is the Quad edition, which is powered by a quad-motor (1025 horsepower and an acceleration from 0 to 60mph in just 2.5 seconds).

Now, onto the most important question: what is the price of the Rivian’s truck? To this date, the launch price of Rivian R1T is $69,900. This price is for the base model, which has an estimated range of 290 miles with on a full charge and has an acceleration from 0-60 of 4.5 seconds.
But for those willing to spend more, Rivian offers the electric truck with a larger battery (R1T Dual edition) that has the range of 329 – 420 miles per charge, and 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 3.4 seconds.

First, it is the starting price: the Rivian R1T costs even less than Model S; second, it offers a different vision of the electric vehicle that cannot be said about Tesla.
