What's New for 2025?

For 2025, Rivian has given the R1T a proper glow-up! The Dual Motor Max benefits from Rivian's new in-house designed dual motors for enhanced punch and efficiency. There’s a redesigned battery pack – the "Max" pack in this trim is all about stretching those miles. A new zonal electrical architecture and a beefier compute platform mean smarter, faster systems. Plus, the Rivian Driver+ ADAS gets a significant upgrade with more cameras and radars, and a new heat pump is standard for better cold-weather performance. It’s a serious tech injection!

Design & Exterior

The R1T Dual Motor Max keeps Rivian's head-turning looks, with those iconic "stadium" headlights and a silhouette that’s both futuristic and tough-as-nails. It's a big rig, measuring 217.1 inches long, 82 inches wide (mirrors folded, of course!), and 78.2 inches tall, ready to make a statement. You still get the super-handy Gear Tunnel for stashing your kit. While trim-specific visual cues are subtle, the overall design screams adventure. New for 2025 are updated lighting features, including available adaptive driving beams, adding to its sleek yet capable presence.

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Step inside the R1T Dual Motor Max, and you're greeted by a cabin that's pure minimalist chic, built with premium, sustainable materials. There's seating for five, offering plenty of room to stretch out. For your gear, you get a 29.2 cubic foot trunk, which expands to a massive 59.9 cubic feet with the seats down, plus a handy 11.1 cubic foot frunk. Tech-wise, a massive central touchscreen running Rivian’s slick, Unreal Engine-powered OS is your command center, alongside a crisp digital driver display.

Performance & Driving Experience

This Dual Motor Max ain't no slouch, rocketing from 0 to 60 mph in a swift 4.5 seconds! Power comes from two Rivian-built Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors, one front and one rear, delivering a combined 397 kW (around 532 hp) and a hefty 610 lb-ft of torque through its all-wheel-drive system. Expect that instant EV punch and a surprisingly agile feel for a big truck, thanks to its sophisticated air suspension. It’s equally at home cruising highways or tackling tricky trails, with strong regenerative braking to boot, and can tow up to 7,700 lbs.

Range, Battery & Charging

The Dual Motor Max is built for the long haul, featuring a substantial 140 kWh usable battery capacity. This translates to a Green Cars Compare calculated 'real-world' range estimate of 399 miles – serious road trip potential! Efficiency is rated at 2.85 mi/kWh. Juice it up at home with the standard 11.5 kW AC on-board charger. For quicker top-ups, it gulps down DC fast charging at up to 220 kW via its CCS Type 1 port, getting you back on the road fast. Plus, handy V2L capability lets you power your gear.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

While official 2025 NHTSA ratings are pending, Rivians typically ace safety tests. The R1T Dual Motor Max comes loaded with the enhanced Rivian Driver+ system as standard. This comprehensive suite includes Highway Assist (adaptive cruise and lane centering), Blind Spot Monitoring, Lane Keep Assist, Forward Collision Warning, and Automatic Emergency Braking. Thanks to 11 cameras, five radars, and new AI prediction tech, it’s like having an extra-vigilant co-pilot, keeping you confident whether you're on the interstate or navigating city streets.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

Rivian backs the R1T Dual Motor Max with a solid warranty: 5 years or 60,000 miles for the comprehensive coverage. The all-important battery pack and drivetrain components are covered for an impressive 8 years or 175,000 miles, including a guarantee against excessive degradation. While there's no traditional complimentary maintenance schedule like some brands, Rivian offers over-the-air software updates to keep your truck feeling fresh, along with mobile service options. This modern approach means fewer shop visits and more time adventuring!
