Rivian R1T review - 0-60mph, 1/4-mile & off-road tested!

.............................................................

This is the Rivian R1T, and it just might be the greatest pick-up truck in the world!

So what makes it so great? Well for starters, it's powered by 4 electric motors to deliver a delicious 800hp & 900Nm of torque! What's more, even though it's super-heavy (weighing 3,100kg!), it still has a claimed 0-60mph of just 3 seconds!

However, while the performance is great, there's still so much more we love when it comes to this pick-up. For starters, the design is utterly gorgeous. Sure, it looks like a standard pick-up from the side, but at either end, you'll find two full-length light bars, while the headlights have a properly futuristic look.

Once you step inside, the Rivian really sets itself apart from pick-up competitors. Not only will you find high-quality, vegan-friendly materials throughout, but there's also a huge infotainment screen up-front to ensure the cabin looks as clean and minimalist as possible. The one we have here even has a wood-trim effect! And if that's not enough, you can have a camp kitchen accessory installed that comes with an induction hob & sink built in!

So what do you think, is this a Cybertruck killer? There's only one way to find out... Stick with Mat for this all-new in-depth review!

Rivian R1T or Tesla Cybertruck - which would you choose? VOTE BELOW!

I can’t imagine what the Rivian guy was thinking when the German Shepherd attacked Matt 😂🥴

[alkiou]

How is this thing so well thought out? It's the company's first vehicle and they nailed it.

[iheartyourfeet]

If money was no object, this would 100% be my next new car.
Glad it has lived up to the hype!
Great review as always Matt

[AquaValet]

The scale of the off-road testing looked like what I experienced as a teenager in a friend's £750 Fiat Punto!

[narasimhapai]

it's one of the rarer times when the car actually looks like a concept car

[pablomoreno]

The logo makes me feel like this is a renault concept car, still that thing is seriously cool. I'd love to see you guys test it properly offroad

[TenaciousDougie]

I really love this truck. I just hope they go the distance and can ramp up production without sacrificing quality to get their foot in the market. I hope to see them in the UK soon. Electric cars need to start major R&D into weight saving however.

[rhidiandavies]

If these guys came up with a similarly designed van (especially with the camping kitchen) I would be obsessed with. The attention to detail on this thing is crazy.

[neeljavia]

The childlike nature of mat and him getting excited on seeing small small things is what makes me love his work and carwow so much.

[mq]

The amount of features this car has is just mind blowing, nothing like any other car manufacturer has even thought of doing, hands down the best vehicle to take on a long journey or go camping with

[thobanimqadi]

12:01 this is why I love Matt and Carwow, and really the reason I come back 😂😂😂

[ARSZLB]

i love how chaotic Mat’s energy always is 🤣

[Demonstormlord]

0-60 in 3, 66 seconds in a 3, 1 ton truck is pretty brutal. That's some ludicrous power.

[mee.sam_]

I love Matt watson man, from his jokes to his personality this guy is a gem.

[gbever]

This is the video review i have been waiting for - Thank you Matt for doing this review.

[All.Eyes.on.Palestine]

Hi Matt! Your videos are such amazing therapy for me, wishing you to be successful in the future and I'd really wish to see u make a review on GMC Hummer EV
Will be looking forward to it!

[heryourdeyjie]

I don't miss a single upload, love from Nigeria

[Auditography]

I'm a huge fan of this and the Lucid Air. Two really awesome first products!

[safiahmed]

I think i watched like 5 or 6 videos of the R1T but this was the best one. Enjoyed it a lot.
