Rivian R1T Performance Dual-Motor Max

Overview

The 2024 Rivian R1T Performance Dual-Motor Max is the ultimate electric adventure pickup, blending staggering range with properly quick performance. This specific trim hits the sweet spot, offering Rivian’s largest battery pack paired with its potent in-house dual-motor setup. It’s designed for those who want to go further and have more fun, both on and off the road. As this configuration was discontinued for the 2025 model year refresh, it’s now a fantastic find on the used market, with prices hovering around $50,125 for a well-equipped example.

What's New for 2024?

For 2024, the big story was the solidification of Rivian’s in-house “Enduro” motor lineup, which is the heart of this Performance Dual-Motor truck. This setup provided a more efficient and cost-effective alternative to the original quad-motor configuration. While no major feature changes occurred mid-year, 2024 marks the final production run for this specific trim combination. It has since been succeeded by Rivian's updated battery and motor pairings for the 2025 model year, making the 2024 Performance Max a unique and desirable swan song edition.

Design & Exterior

The R1T’s design is unmistakable and a brilliant blend of futuristic and functional. Its friendly face is defined by the signature vertical "stadium" headlights and a full-width daytime running light bar. The overall silhouette is clean and athletic, not just another blocky truck. Measuring 217.1 inches long, 79.3 inches wide, and 78.2 inches tall, it has a commanding presence. Unique features like the ingenious Gear Tunnel pass-through storage and power-operated tonneau cover make it as clever as it is cool, setting it apart from any other pickup on the road.

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Inside, the R1T’s cabin feels like a minimalist, high-tech lounge, with premium vegan leather, beautiful wood trim, and a massive panoramic glass roof. It’s dominated by a large central touchscreen and digital driver’s display that handle nearly all controls, though note there’s no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Cargo solutions are genius; you get a deep 11.1 ft³ frunk, 29.2 ft³ of secure storage in the bed and Gear Tunnel, and a max capacity of 59.9 ft³ in the open bed. With seating for five, it’s a comfortable and practical space.

Performance & Driving Experience

This is where the "Performance" badge earns its keep. With dual Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors delivering all-wheel drive, this R1T unleashes a mighty 665 horsepower and 829 lb-ft of torque. That’s enough to launch this pickup from 0-60 mph in a bonkers 3.5 seconds. The standard air suspension provides a shockingly plush ride on the highway and can raise for serious off-road ground clearance. Strong regenerative braking allows for easy one-pedal driving, making it feel both incredibly powerful and effortlessly smooth in any situation.

Range, Battery & Charging

Packing a massive 141 kWh usable battery, this R1T is built for the long haul. It delivers a fantastic Green Cars Compare calculated real-world range estimate of 390 miles on a full charge, with an efficiency of 2.77 mi/kWh. At home, the standard 11.5 kW on-board charger can top it up overnight. On the road, its 400-volt architecture and CCS Type 1 port can accept DC fast charging speeds up to 215 kW, zapping the battery from 10-80% in about 40 minutes. Plus, multiple on-board outlets provide power for tools and gear.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

Rivian packs the R1T with a ton of safety tech as standard. The truck earned a coveted Top Safety Pick+ award from the IIHS, a testament to its robust design. Every model comes with the "Driver+" assistance suite, which is brilliant. It includes adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, and Highway Assist, which provides hands-free driving on select mapped highways. This means you get top-tier safety and convenience features without having to dig through a confusing options list. It’s all baked in from the start.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

Rivian backs the R1T with a solid warranty package, giving owners excellent peace of mind. The comprehensive bumper-to-bumper coverage is for 5 years or 60,000 miles. More importantly, the battery pack and drivetrain components are covered for a lengthy 8 years or 175,000 miles, with a guarantee that the battery will retain at least 70% of its original capacity. While there's no complimentary scheduled maintenance, the EV design means fewer service visits, and over-the-air software updates continuously improve the vehicle for free.
