I've been behind the wheel of my Launch Edition Rivian R1T for over a year now, and after driving it for 20,000+ miles, some things have changed since my initial review. So today, let's talk about what it's like owning and driving a Rivian R1T!

Excellent review - transparent, authentic, very well done. I’m 4 weeks and 800 miles into my R1T journey. Thanks for doing this.

TWENTY THOUSAND MILES?!?!?!?!?!?!?! IN ONE YEAR?!?!

[thetreverpitts]

Good video that's why a lot of people nowadays by trucks a full-size pickup truck has room for at least five people on the inside and you never know when you're going to need a truck bed sometimes the SUV is not big enough

[dlenajohnson]

Good one year review. My R1T is nothing short of AMAZING!

[Piquliar]

The reliability is more impressive than most of the AAA games releasing these days smh. I think trucks and SUV's are absolute units for active families.

I feel like there’s a lot to like about this truck. My only design change would’ve been to make the frunk lid design more akin to the Ford Lightning as the load level more comfortable if you wish to slide things in.

I like these reviews. Every Rivian R1T review I have looked at has been overall very positive. We are going to be test driving an R1T this weekend, and if we like it, we are going to order one shortly after.

Thanks for your time!

We’re at over 10k miles in 6 months. Overall pretty great, but Rivian has replaced the A/C compressor & condenser which were bad from day 1. Next service appointment in 2 months to fix the clicky front 1/2 shafts.

[FrankJAlejo]

I really hope Rivian keeps going and improves off these first cars. I love the brand and identify - My next car will be a SUV or a Truck which will be around the time the R2/3.

Tnx for review. I'm in process of buying the Rivian SUV. This is really helpful Keep it up.

Rivian is great and doing very well where I live which is a medium sized city in Michigan, there are at least 12 of them around here and I would say three of them are the R1S. People seem to love them, I might even get one. Once again, I live in Michigan and Ford Lightnings are rarer than Bugattis out here and I am dead serious. LOL

Good for you! I'm still waiting for mine more than two years after. I got the sudden notification from the companya few months ago that they would not deliver to Louisiana.

2022 R1T…phone charger works fine. When in motion whatever is charging tends to move around so just like at home if it’s not perfect on there it doesn’t charge. I think the idea was meant for being parked or at least keep a hand on it and it does work fine.

Just my observation over the last 3k miles or so.

[jambaman]

Getting my R1S next month. Can't wait. Great to see the positive reviews for this company. Also loved that you mentioned the tesla partnership!

[foreveranuj]

Can you keep the rear view & side cameras ON while driving? like you can with Teslas, thanks!
Great job on the video, kudos! I'm about to trade-in my 2018 Tesla Model 3 & lease a R1T.

[JesseRSands]

Oh man, I didn’t realize there is no Apple Car Play… I currently use that every time I get in my vehicle… I don’t know if I’m ready to not have it. I can’t decide if this is a deal breaker for me.. thoughts?

[richardt]

Hi Jon, great video as usual...thoughts on the R2?

[grhodes]

So if I lease a 2024 Rivian now it won’t work with Tesla chargers? Tx!

[stevewalsh-balshaw]

Will it last 25yrs +like the old toyota shogun ice etc that's the test not whether it last a few thousand miles or a couple of yrs

[RussBrownFL]

How are the tires wearing? How has your DC fast charger experience been overall?
