Uploaded 5 months ago by Auto Buyers Guide | Alex on Autos

Video Summary

- The 2025 Rivian R1T is rated the best overall electric truck, due to changes Rivian made.
- It can get up to 420 miles of range.
- Zero to 60 is as low as 2.5 seconds.
- It can haul almost 1800 pounds of payload and tow 11,000 pounds.
- The R1T is not a true midsize truck, but something in between.
- The first vehicle on sale in the U.S. with new adaptive high beam technology is featured. This allows high beams while driving, adjusting to avoid blinding oncoming traffic.
- A new charge status bar is at the front.
- The back-up camera is still located just above the license plate; its lowest in a pick-up truck.
- The review complains the rear camera angle makes hooking up a trailer tricky, because it is difficult to see how close the hitch is to the ball.
- The side wheel wells limit cargo capacity.
- The interior has premium finishes on doors and much wood trim in general.
- There is a frustration: no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto; the Bluetooth and apps are curated.
- The review features various battery and motor configurations.
- The adaptive suspension tuning makes this an excellent choice.
- Cabin noise registers 69 decibels while driving 50 miles/hr; therefore, it is one of the quietest trucks around.
- Review of the adaptive air suspension finds ride is noticeably firmer to provide off-road control.
- The reviewer says there will be a future video on pricing and comparison.
