Design & Exterior

This rig just looks the business! The 2025 R1T Performance Dual Motor Large keeps Rivian’s instantly recognizable, rugged-yet-sleek design. Those signature vertical "stadium" headlights and full-width light bars front and back make it stand out, day or night. It’s a sizable truck, measuring 217.1 inches long, 82 inches wide (mirrors folded!), and 78.2 inches tall, giving it a commanding presence. The clever Gear Tunnel pass-through remains a massively useful feature for stashing long items or muddy gear, perfectly complementing its adventurous spirit and distinctive, modern aesthetic.

It comfortably seats five adventurers. For your stuff, the main cargo bed offers 29.2 ft³ of space, and with rear seats folded, max cargo capacity hits 59.9 ft³, including other clever spots. Plus, there’s the awesome 11.1 ft³ frunk under the hood! A massive central touchscreen runs Rivian’s slick OS, controlling nearly everything. The 2025 models also boast an upgraded sound system experience.

Performance & Driving Experience

Hold on tight! The R1T Performance Dual Motor Large rockets from 0-60 mph in a blistering 3.4 seconds – that’s sports car territory! Credit goes to its potent dual-motor AWD setup, featuring Rivian's new in-house PMSM motors, churning out a massive 496 kW (around 665 hp!) and 829 lb-ft of torque. Expect neck-snapping launches, incredible traction for off-roading adventures, and surprisingly agile handling for a truck this size. Multiple drive modes let you tailor the experience, while strong regenerative braking allows for easy one-pedal driving.
