Rivian R1T Dual-Motor Max

Overview

The 2024 Rivian R1T Dual-Motor Max was the long-range king of the adventure truck world. This specific trim, now discontinued, paired Rivian’s in-house Enduro motors with its largest battery, creating a seriously capable rig that blended blistering pace with epic utility. It was designed for those who wanted to go further, whether on pavement or a remote trail. As a sought-after configuration on the pre-owned market, it represents a sweet spot of range and performance, with used prices hovering around $46,750. It’s a genuine do-it-all electric pickup with a futuristic twist.

What's New for 2024?

For its 2024 model year run, the R1T’s big story was the continued integration of Rivian's own 'Enduro' dual-motor system, with this 'Max' pack variant being the headline act for ultimate range. While this specific trim has been phased out for newer configurations, it set the benchmark for the year. A key update for US buyers was the charging port situation; 2024 models were equipped with CCS1 ports from the factory, with Rivian providing adapters for the growing Tesla NACS network, bridging the gap during the industry's transition.

Design & Exterior

Instantly recognizable, the R1T’s design is dominated by its signature vertical 'stadium' headlights and a clean, full-width light bar. It’s a futuristic yet rugged look that stands out. Measuring a substantial 217.1 inches long, 79.3 inches wide, and 78.2 inches tall, its commanding presence is built on a long 135.8-inch wheelbase. The design isn’t just for show; the clever Gear Tunnel, a lockable pass-through storage compartment, is a game-changing feature for stashing long items or muddy gear, making this one of the most practical trucks on the market.

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Inside, the R1T boasts a minimalist, upscale cabin for five, featuring sustainable wood accents and premium vegan materials. Dominating the dash are two large screens for infotainment and driver info, though it notably lacks Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, relying on its solid native software. The real genius is its storage. You get a massive 11.1 cubic-foot frunk, a practical 29.2 cubic-foot bed, and the exclusive 11.7 cubic-foot Gear Tunnel. This triple-threat of cargo options provides unmatched versatility for both work and play, setting it apart from any competitor.

Performance & Driving Experience

Don’t let its size fool you; this truck hustles. The dual-motor AWD system, powered by front and rear Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors, unleashes 533 hp and 610 lb-ft of torque. It rockets from 0-60 mph in a scant 4.5 seconds on its way to a 110 mph top speed. On the road, the standard air suspension delivers a shockingly smooth and quiet ride, while off-road it can raise up for serious ground clearance. Multiple drive modes and strong regenerative braking make it feel both sophisticated and endlessly capable.

Range, Battery & Charging

This trim’s claim to fame is its massive 141 kWh usable battery pack. According to Green Cars Compare's calculated 'real-world' range estimate, that’s good for an impressive 390 miles on a full charge, with an efficiency of 2.77 mi/kWh. At home, the standard 11.5 kW on-board charger handles overnight top-ups. On the road, it can pull power at up to 215 kW from a DC fast charger via its CCS Type 1 port. Plus, its on-board outlets provide power for tools or campsite gear, making it a mobile generator.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

Safety is a top priority in the R1T, earning it a prestigious Top Safety Pick+ award from the IIHS for its model year. Every model comes standard with Rivian’s comprehensive 'Driver+' assistance suite. This impressive package includes Highway Assist, which combines adaptive cruise control and lane centering for relaxed long-distance drives. It also features crucial systems like blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane keeping assistance, and automatic emergency braking, providing a strong safety net for every journey.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

Rivian backs the R1T with solid coverage. Owners get a comprehensive bumper-to-bumper warranty for 5 years or 60,000 miles. More importantly, the pricey bits—the dual motors and the massive battery pack—are covered for an impressive 8 years or 175,000 miles, whichever comes first. The battery warranty also guarantees it will retain at least 70% of its original capacity during that period. Maintenance is handled through Rivian’s growing network of service centers and convenient mobile service vans that can come directly to you.
