Video Summary
The electric truck does not have a low range, but it has tons of torque: 829 pound-feet. This dual motor R1T does not have a rear locker, but has a break torque vectoring system and drive modes, including all-terrain, sand, snow, and sport. It was found that the break torque vectoring system could only delete torque.The four-banger hybrid Tacoma has 465 pound-feet of torque and it also has an actual locker and all terrain crawl control. The Toyota is better at using the power.
The reviewer found in the end, that the Rivian Quad motor does not have an Apple CarPlay feature for the Infotainment system. The electric tailgate does not have an automatic close function.
With the Max battery pack, the Rivian range is 371 miles on pavement. In the sand, it only gets 1.67 miles per kilowatt hour of charge, equaling 235 miles on pavement and dirt.
A Rivian dual motor with the all-terrain package and bigger battery costs in the 90K range, as opposed to a 65K Tacoma TRD PRO.
The reviewer concluded that she had more fun in the wash in the Rivian. She would prefer to spend the extra money to get that quad motor, which is also going to be available in trimotor options, to have extra control.
She stated that, on those climbs and rock crawling areas, she was on three wheels. All in all, she really had fun with the electric truck. The geometry is great, but she didn't feel the need to drag it. The 34-inch tires were a good fit, and it seemed to be the perfect size for the truck.
