Tesla Cybertruck vs Ford F150 Lightning vs Rivian R1T | Comparison Test

The Cybertruck may be the most talked about electric truck on the planet right now, but in this comparison it faces staunch competition in the form of the Rivian R1T - our 2022 Motortrend Truck of the Year - and the Ford F150 Lightning - our 2023 Motortrend Truck of the Year.

We wanted to compare these trucks across several disciplines, ranging from the standard EV tests such as range and charge capabilities, through to some of the things you would expect a truck to do regardless of its method of propulsion; on-road, off-road, and towing - we did it all, in order to find which of these three EV Trucks is best. This is the most comprehensive comparison test featuring a Tesla Cybertruck to date.

The Rivian seems to be the best right now and it stands the best chance of actually fitting in your garage.

[chyldstudios]

And if you don't want people taking pictures of you, then drive a F150 or a Rivian.

so you complained about the cyber truck and not about the lightening but put the lightening in 3rd place…:

I feel like these trucks would be more thoroughly compared if they also covered EV related factors like charging speed, vehicle to grid capabilities, power delivery, and charging network compatibility. However, I do appreciate how they covered lateral g-force. 👍

[AWDRIFTO]

I love both the R1T and R1S in my driveway and I am not even mildly interested in the other 2.

[manuelias]

The R1T seems the most complete and weirdly enough is the smallest 😅

[samirshah]

every Tesla has automatic wipers enabled by pressing the button and you can use the scroll wheel to adjust. You don’t have to touch the screen ever at all.

[GRMRACER]

You want a real comparison test for what these trucks will actually encounter. Park all 3 of these trucks in San Fransisco and leave a Laptop and Backpack inside of the truck. After 30 minutes whoever still has their stuff wins.

$100 GRAND? They can keep them. I'll buy a $5000 hoopdie.

[theninja]

Why are they using the world’s most aerodynamic and easy to tow trailer? Lol

[openfiretactical]

These outrageous prices make these vehicles unobtainable for the majority. Garbage, in my opinion.

"Lifestyle truck" comparison aka $100k Mall Crawler

[useyourimaginasean]

Imagine some high school kids 15 years from now thinking these are beater trucks. Kids I went to school with had rusted out 92 Ford Rangers as their boxes. All of these cars have eye-watering prices

[MAM]

Space is important to me, so the Ford was my choice. Cost me $55k too. Not $100k

[xrotaryguy]

Have y'all compared EV trucks to gas trucks yet? Off-roading, acceleration, in town towing, day in day out, should be pretty cool to evaluate. Obviously interstate towing would be a disaster for any EV at this point.

[Jordan_Benzos_Peterson]

There's literally no reason to buy the cybertruck then for the sake of owning it, which is a terrible reason.

[sakygen]

I got the lightning, coming from a tesla model s plaid i am never looking back especially since range is not a problem as i can charge on both tesla superchargers and electrify america superchargers. Also for the price i got the Flash extended range for $57k. The lowest trims start at $40k.

[IndridCool]

I love Fords, I have a 2005 F150 FX4 that has almost 350k, but I think that if I had my choice of these I would choose the Rivian. The Tesla looks like an unfinished experiment and the Ford looks not all that different than my 2005. The Rivian looks like the future.

[lusus]

Rivian is awesome and hands down winner in my book. Glad you agree! and R1S is rad too!

[snowman]

Motor trend has no credibility anymore. They got caught lying way too many times to take their opinion on anything. This is entertainment not reviews
