The Rivian R1T is a truly revolutionary product. It attempts to be a true one-vehicle solution: everything to everybody. For a company's first vehicle, this is an incredibly bold mission. But, incredibly, the R1T actually succeeds at it. With four EV motors adding up to 835 insane HP, the R1T, like other high-end EV's is a dragster. It's also, thanks to McLaren-like suspension, incredibly agile in the canyons and incredibly luxurious on the highway and in the city. With very smart torque vectoring software, its a rally car on dirt roads. And with height-adjustable suspension and a flat-deck undercarriage, it's a beast on the trail. Although the R1T isn't cheap at $91,000 as tested, it passes every test we throw at it with flying colors.
Rivian provided the vehicle and insurance for this test.

I’m impressed by the nvh for a truck. With that said, this is the absolute best Rivian review out there right now.
Check out - Out of Spec Reviews, they go wayyyy more in depth than this.
@@sebastiannowak6174 yeah. That's what I was thinking. Clearly he's never seen it.
@@sebastiannowak6174 I agree. I LOVE the smoking tire, but Out of Spec is easily the most in depth EV source on youtube hands down. These 2 channels are my absolute favorites to go to.
@@joemcdonough7509 in-depth is not what smoking tire does.
@@ryanr482 I'm fully aware of that. I'm still an avid TST fan and listen to their weekly podcast.
I delivered a lot of concrete to them. They are changing the whole town they are in in Illinois. We even had to build new electric lines to their factory.
I go to ISU, the college near the factory. It’s nice seeing Rivians driving around everywhere.
Look into the tax breaks, incentives, etc I’m sure the tax payers there gave them.
@@Terminxman hell yea we did and its been a great benefit to the town. Well worth its cost to get them here initially.
Yeah it’s made at that old Bloomington/Normal Mitsubishi plant. Made in Illinois. I love writing that!
@@chamade166 In what way? It's almost as much of a cesspool.
I've watched several R1T reviews with my dad (because he really wants one) and this one has been the most comprehensive and thorough so far. Really shows how this could be your only car if need be!
This is why I ordered a R1S instead of the Model Y. I've been stuck before with my kiddos in the car. I told myself never again. This is literally an all in 1 vehicle. Oct 2022 can't come soon, Enough!
1 1/2 years driving the R1T .... and still looking forward to drive it. What a great vehicle.
I would love to see Rivian apply their design philosophy to a compact hatch or sedan. Just keep the weight and speed down to sane levels.
Packagiiiiing!
We need wagons, though...
Can’t keep weight down work batteries, Gone are the days of cars lighter than 3000lbs
Think it’s in the works.
Rivian is a long ways from doing any new model vehicles…5 years maybe? I suppose after they finish the Georgia plant in 2-3 years they could think about more.
@@Team_Trade_Down The Georgia plant is for new models. They haven’t announced what those are yet, but they did confirm they will be used for new models. My guess is they will announce a Ford Bronco/Jeep Wrangle competitor. Most likely a smaller SUV too, Bronco Sport-like. These will probably be what they will build in their EU factory as well, once they land on one. Really long term, I bet they would dominate additional adventure vehicles like side by sides, jet skis and or snowmobiles. They’re charging network would support these vehicles at trailheads.
Love your balanced enthusiasm in contrast to Jonny L.’s wild enthusiasm- both completely justified. This seems to be a great vehicle.
Whilst they establish themselves, they need to quietly work on efficiency before lucid pulls the rug when their 4x4 comes but they have some time to make hay while the sun shines.
This is one hell of a benchmark for the legacy industry, too.
Great product. Great test. Thanks, guys.
The best Rivian review yet. By far! Beautiful POV video of real fast driving up and down winding mountainous roads, good off roading and everything in between…truly captured the breadth of Rivian capabilities. What a crisp and thoughtful analysis too. And on my first view of a Smoking Tire video ever. Fantastic job!
“…of real fast driving up and down winding mountainous roads”
This made me hella nervous. It was obnoxiously dangerous. Some of those roads and turns said 30 MPH and they were going 50+. I’d have been white-knuckled in the backseat.
Smoking Tire is a fantastic channel. They also have weekly Podcasts if you enjoy Matt Farah and Zack's conversations.
@@joemcdonough7509 Absolutely!
I'm glad they off roaded in the 22 inch tires. The 22s can off road a bit.
Great review! The best Rivian video I've watched. I assume other videos from this channel are of equal quality: very knowledgeable, seamless camera work, good commentary.
This review is great guys. Really in depth. Thanks for the videos.
I really look forward to owning one of these one day.
Been waiting for this review. Quite an impressive vehicle and hopefully a glimpse into the future of what's to come
Such an extensive review video! Watching a tire floating at 35:31, is incredible. I'm hoping to get my hands on one of this someday. Thank you for a very comprehensive and thorough video!
Good video. I actually appreciate the extra footage because I think the R1T is so versitile that it couldn't be properly reviewed in a normal-length video.
Great seeing Zach's dad in these videos, too. He's a spitting image.
Zack’s sad, existential laugh when Matt said they’d figure out if it was actually saving the planet
*Spoiler* Matt doesn't give a damn about educating himself on the topic.
@@TheBowerbird He's done his own research...
It will once we start moving to renewables, which thankfully is happening *very* quickly.
@@damncritics even running on coal electricity, a Rivian has less environmental impact than almost any ICE vehicle over the full lifespan.
I love Matt (and gas engines) but he doesn't understand the mechanics of what makes EVs better for the environment.
a "skeptic" talking to a guy who quotes JFK lol
Great all inclusive review! It was really nice to hear you talk about the morality of this kind of vehicle at the end understanding and clearly stating that this kind of vehicle is not "green" but it's "greener" than the competition.
I really don’t know what “green” means. Is there some standard that once achieved enables you to legitimately claim “green?” Don’t think so. I’m not aware of this, anyways. Is there any vehicle in this class and performance profile that is significantly less of a carbon hog? If so, what is that? Thanks.
Favorite R1 review by far. Very informative and entertaining. Great driving too👍
Supposed to get mine sometime this year. Thanks for the thorough review.
Its refreshing to see new brands pop up that are proper pieces of engineering and push the 'main' old manufactures to update there tech.
as a brand rivian is not that new. It takes time to develop a vehicle since they did not used old lotus chassis
@@hagestad relative to the rest of the auto manufacturers that actually have a production car, Rivian is considered new.
@@hobear637 I'm aware of that. Unfortunately they were shooting way to high and pissed of Samsung. Hence the weird price hike that if I'm to understand they backed out of.
Spectacular review guys.
Thanks TST, great video!!
I like the canyon and trail drive combo video for this truck.
Just a tremendous review. Bravo
I have been looking forward to you guys driving this. Also, congratulations to 1mil subs !
Recycled soda bottles.
Rivian chassis engineers knocked this truck out of the park. You guys were off-roading on 22’s. 22’s!!! The truck is simply amazing and I can’t wait until mine arrives.
Great Review Guys !
New to your channel, the algorithm brought you to me because of Rivian and I’m glad it did. Really enjoyed your take on this. My current Audi has a pretty strong (artificial) electric motor hum and I very much enjoy it. It serves to give me the feedback I’m used to with an ICE. Especially with a truck, I would think the sound would be nice to have.
Great wrap up. Less taxing on the planet than ANY combustion engine vehicle, but certainly more than an electric hatchback. Great truck and great review!
Thanks for the review, this and the Lucid have me excited for the future of electric vehicles.
Great review! You really tested it on all types of roads! Impressive truck 🚙⚡🔌
Matt, I think I saw you heading up to Santa Monica in this thing a couple weeks back! My friend (he was driving, not me) and I were heading to the gym and he tried to convince me to wave to you 😅 I was too worried about making a fool of myself lol (not to mention causing a scene on a crowded public road). Thanks to all the TST crew for the content both here and on the podcast!
Really impressed with what Rivian and Lucid are doing right now. Hearing lots of glowing reviews and their cars look great on the road here in LA. Very interesting seeing these two companies learn from what Tesla has done well/poorly and building on positives/correcting flaws.
As it stands, these EVs certainly won't be enough to "save the world," but I do think they do a good job of showcasing what's possible and getting people interested/excited for what the future has to offer. So much needs to happen in order for global emissions to change, and a ton of that has little to nothing to do with how you or I go about buying a new vehicle.
That thing is a beast. Can't wait to see what they develop in the future.
Thanks for mentioning the Electric motor hum at 30mph.
No one else has mentioned it.
Nice review
Love this new type of innovation ! Amazing
By far the best R1T video review that I have seen. And you guys successfully took this truck off-road on 22” all season tires. 22’s!!! That alone is mind boggling. The Rivian concept, design and engineering is absolutely brilliant. I’m truly shocked at how good this truck is out of the box. I’m glad I reserved my Explore trim with optional 20” off-road wheels and tires over a year ago!!!
I guess I've been following DRIVE then THE SMOKING TIRE for longer than any other youtube channels out there.
Amazing content as always, thanks again for the Manual Shifter Videos Matt! And I like the fine wine cheese tasting review you guys did here.
Not joking a thorough review is always good and softens the blow when it relates to easing me into EV's.
I didn't even like electric forklifts at first and then I got really good at the finger control mechwarrior style hydraulics.
I still think it feels like your driving something from Gundam Wing.
I love these longer videos.
Never thought I'd like a ev car let alone a ev truck but this video changed my mind. I personally think having a side-by-side ev or even a ev truck would be really nice to go off road. Definitely like that part of the video.
Watching the tires at 35:35 just float when not in contact feels like absolute magic.
This is the only electric vehicle that really interests me. Such a cool and versatile vehicle.
The thing that is so shocking about every video I’ve watched on the Rivian is how much everyone authentically celebrates the unbelievable handling and driving dynamics of this truck, and it is only Rivian’s first vehicle! With over-the-air updates, these will continue getting better. I hope they are insanely successful, and who knows where this company goes with 2nd or 3rd generation vehicles.
When you work in the Federal EV credit, state credits, and the potential to fully depreciate the value over one year (over 6,000lb GVWR, if you have a business), this quickly becomes THE thing to get. Looks and interior of a Land Rover, great handling, insane specs... Now if only they could produce them faster.
Just another coal burning luxury car subsidized by hard working american taxpayers. You are welcome.
@@PD-we8vf I operate the real time electric power grid and could tell you the source mix and relative emission to gasoline fired internal combustion engines, but I feel that may be lost on you.
Nice long vid guys, more like this please.
Gotta say big electric pick up/ SUV vehicles are what get me really interested in EV's.
I’m really impressed with this truck, I can’t wait until something like this is ‘affordable’
lets see what the cheapest is..... you can get the explore dual motor and standard pack versions for $63,125 (that's $67500 + 3% tax (NC anyway) + $1100 fees -$7500 tax credit, free silver color)
@@mikestamps7475 63k is still a lot of coin for a vehicle for many peeps...
@@triaxe-mmb EV trucks will be $50k+ for a long time, likely always.
The cheapest "real" pickup is the Tacoma at $26k, and good luck getting a base one at MSRP.
An EV is going to add at least $10k in battery, so $35-40k absolute best case. Easily $50k if you want anything more than the most bare-bones vehicle, and as long as they are supply constrained (batteries) they are going to focus on the higher profit premium level. Minimum of 5 years before we get a "cheap" EV pickup.
Have you priced a Ram 1500 lately?
@@GregMcNamer EV trucks definitely won't "always" start $50k+ _in present-day dollars._ We're still in the really early days of economies of scale, and in really throwing billions of dollars (or tens of billions) at battery development. There's a _ton_ of incremental improvements in energy density that will appear in the next 5 to 10 years. Each of those improvements will in turn incrementally improve the range-to-weight equation, which then will improve the entry-level price. I.e. you don't need any of the step-function improvements in battery technology (which are still years away from even production prototypes) for this stuff to get a _lot_ better. You just need the standard iterative improvements that investment and competition will inevitably bring - and that we're in fact already seeing in the car and SUV segments.
The counter-argument is that there's still only one true _volume_ EV manufacturer, and that's Tesla. Everyone else is still working on volume efficiencies. But if one company can do it, the rest will figure it out. Their survival depends on it.
10:12 I don't think I've ever seen a heavy truck corner that good at high speed. This truck is extraordinary.
Long video good! Especially with cars like this that are so multifaceted
8:38 - Matt turned into Alex the trucking guy 😅
Great review/drive, guys! I’m anxious to drive the R1S.
I'm impressed how it did off-road even on the sport 22" tire/wheels. That's enough off-road capability for >99% of buyers even without optioning the 20" off-road wheels. Honestly re-thinking the tire option on my order.
Well said. I already changed my order to 22”
Well said. I already changed my order to 22”
How do we think the 21s would’ve handled this?
Love this
WOW guys, you really put this EV to the test!!!!! I really like this vehicle after all your comments, even though, the last ones I couldn't follow or understand. But in my opinion, Tesla is # 1, as a car and forget any Porsche, Jaguar or Lucid, and this truck is # 1 as an all around vehicle, although I don't like off- roading, but is good to know that it will withstand super heavy duty stuff in case of an emergency!!! I hope you do the same test with the Cybertruck. That is the one I put my deposit and I am waiting for- the three motor version. So thanks a lot for your SUPERB REVIEW of this machine!!!!!!
Great review - and the bit about whether they are saving the world: spot on.
Eh it's not really true. This Rivian will have less environmental impact over it's full lifecycle than almost any ICE vehicle (raw materials, production, and operation).
The reality is EVs are more environmentally friendly. The reason is the efficiency of electric motors, which convert 90%+ of energy into motion vs ~30% for gas engine.
The Rivian's huge battery is equivalent of only 4 gallons of gasoline!
I'm someone who loves gas engines and plans to own one for the rest of my life. But my love for ICE doesn't change the physics and math that make EVs a better solution for people who view cars as appliances.
Saw this vehicle at the New York International Auto Show in 2019 and it is very impressive in person. Drew a crowd even though nobody knew what it was at first. And the guy who was talking about the truck was very knowledgable about it... perhaps he was one of the designers or part of the team that built it. Very cool
Can't wait to see the Pre Runner versions of this truck.
Nicely done guys, it is interesting because you could have the same vehicle (minus the clever EV storage and 0-60) as an ICE or Hybrid, all the tech and dynamics of this with no range issues (and it would weigh 1000lbs less). I hope it will raise the bar for all vehicles and well done Rivian for creating such a well conceived and executed vehicle first time out. That's what I'm hoping for at least with this fresh blood and thinking is that everything gets better
Good points guys. 👍
Very amazing this thing can do everything.
Fantastic review. We'll see how companies like Rivian do in the long run. It'll be interesting for sure.
I’m glad I got in before the March 1 price hike.
Love that Forrest Green exterior over green and wood interior.
Dig the long format. This machine seems deserving of it. Hell of a ride
wow an EV that im actually interested in. thanks
Instead of $80k and 830 hp, I would love to see a $60k and 500 hp version. The Rivian is so great it would be nice to get into for a lower price point but still more than enough power
That’s coming
I’d definitely get one of these for $60k and less power. I have no need to get to 60 in 3 seconds in a truck
Sadly, I think the power is a side benefit- the reason for the big battery is so that it has competitive range…. Drop the power, and you also drop how far it can go on a charge.
@@aaronheyerdahl7196 Keep the battery but use smaller motors
@@ThatRosco458 unlike gas cars, an EV's power has very little impact on efficiency or cost. Biggest lever for cost is a smaller battery. As battery costs continue to fall we'll see cheaper versions as well.
I wouldn't necessarily say that Rivian is implying their vehicle will save the world with the nature themed elements of the car, like the bird chirping and the 'eco friendly' interior. They have always marketed it as an 'adventure' vehicle. I think they are just trying to keep up with that theme of being one with nature. I have not looked into the charging network that Rivians can use but until Rivian's can start charging at Tesla stations or have a big enough network that can compete, lack of a charging network will be Rivian's biggest pitfall IMO. Awesome review!
They do not actually believe they are saving the planet. Global warming/global cooling/climate change is a giant scam. Rivian has to push this narrative, because its investors require it. Climate change will be a global tax used to charge you for the very air that you breath. This is part of the next control scam.
I agree charging network is biggest challenge vs Tesla, but that's the case for all non-Tesls EVs.
Ultimately the solution is a charging network that works for all brands. Imagine if we had gas stations that only sold gas to BMWs!
Anyone the buys an electric car without a place to charge it is an idiot.
Just Saw a white one in Lakeway TX. Absolutely awesome looking road presence. The Tesla no start stop button was one of my favorite features as well as the phone as key.
I hope they make it would love one of these one day
Nice review fellas! Any solar panels? Is that a sunroof?
great video guys, really enjoyed it. would like to add that a comment regarding the R1Ts efficiency. You're right, one could buy a used Geo Metro getting 50+ mpg. but that's not the comparison. the comparison is to new pickups. why not mention that? the EPA says this uses 480 wh/mi. with electricity at say 10c per kwhr, that's 4.8c per mile to run the rivian. With gas at $4 per gallon, you'd need a vehicle to get 83 mpg to equal it. what current ICE vehicle gets 83mpg?? So yeah, the rivian IS more efficient than every single ICE vehicle sold. Also, study after study shows that an EV will be a net benefit within a year or two, compared to an ICE vehicle, including the costs to build the vehicle, and that's with today's existing electric grid. Also important, the grid continues to get greener every year, therefore your EV continues to get greener every year. An ICE vehicle continues to destroy the planet the entire time you own it, and use it. (this is also assuming you're not charging the R1T via solar on your roof, at which point the rivian is very much "greener" than any ICE vehicle) so, yeah, are there more efficient EVs out there? yes. are there more efficient EV pickups? no. are there more efficient ICE pickups? also no. wish you'd mention that at the end of the video.
The Rivian really makes the future of 4x4ing seem exciting and fresh. Great video TST.
do 6x6.
Hey, congrats on one million subs!!! 👍
No way in the world I'm letting somebody risk my life like that yo I was getting chills every time you went around a turned wow love the reviews
Matt, how would you spec a R1S and would you buy one yourself ?
Y'all need to do this with the Hummer EV too soon. Love your duo videos!
Fantastic vid guys! I'm selling my Mustang and Tacoma and getting one of these!
Gentlemen get a room! I've never heard a review that gushes so much. Great information as usual.
This is high quality content, 10/10 guys, bravo. You keep this stuff as fair as your opinion gets and shows diversity of the product. Amazing
Also, Farrah keeps it real for the environmental impact. This is the stuff eco people want, And also the people who are car centric but also want to be green.
It’s porpoising like an F1 car!
I am so stoked for the R2T to come out, if that's a real thing and not just a rumor. Something smaller, lighter, still capable for less money would be sweet.
So glad you are involved in 2 Bears Racing. (Should be 3 Bears Racing.)
When is the infiniti q60 red sport video going to be available
Fantastic Video. I would love to see you do the Honda Ridgeline like this. As I feel it is the ICE most equivalent to the Rivian.
Matt - I love the seiko 5
I've had my R1T for 9 months now and it has been an incredible vehicle - the Swiss Army knife of vehicles. At 18:15, you note the motor 'whine' and that you thought you might not like that over time - I actually quite enjoy it as it turns out. If I don't want to hear it, it is masked easily by light music, but as it turns out, I do like to have some audio indications of what the vehicle is doing, similar to an ICE vehicle. Cheers.
where is that trail exactly?? I want to go here
You film that intro at The Overlook Hotel?
Great stuff. I agree, R1 S will be even better, lower, lighter - still big and heavy, but. After price jump my pick will be dual motor with some options - hope one day be able to buy one in Poland.
Nice Review. Super capable, well thought out and executed vehicle. I realize it is for early adopters/1%'ers. But, $91K......
Cant wait to see one of these on semi sticky hybrid on/off road tires like Nitto Ridge Grapplers and smaller wheels.
I couldn’t agree more about the Start / Stop button, I love the intrinsic safety of it and the fact I’m in control of my vehicle
Also the theatre of turning it on as it’s my car not a white goods product
That’s why I’m shocked that Volvo don’t have one on their XC40 EV, they’d did in the petrol, diesel and hybrid versions, but just left a blank in the full EV
That’s why I won’t but an electric vehicle without one , so no Volvo, Polestar et al fir me 🤬
I’m glad Jag, Porsche and Mustang have them and have listened to customers 🙈👍🏻
Also needs Apple CarPlay etc as that’s what customers want and need 🍏
Would be great if you could lower the pantelis between the headlights to access the Froot / Frunk easier and if the tailgate dropped fully, but hopefully these things will come in future 🛻🙏🏻
Were you able to check the tire pressure after you let it out for 10 seconds (when you got back to civilization)? Just curious what pressure you were running!
Wonder how it will do towing my j24 range wise
What color was the Rivian R1T that you tested? Was it Forest Green or El Cap Granite?
Probably, best cars channel. For some reason, they give a genuine vibe. Rivian is my favorite EV company & RJ is my favorite CEO
Seen you on the 5 freeway NB Tuesday 1-2pm
I just applied at the Bloomington plant...Fingers crossed.
The Clean Slate!!!!
Great video. Cybertruck and Rivian R1T are equally great trucks. I will purchase the Rivian as I prefer the look.
Just saw one in person yesterday. Absolutely beautiful truck! Videos or pictures don't do it justice. Just a very high price tag and not a full size.
@@OU-812 True. High price will affect demand. But my Tesla was once at a high price. I think they have done a great job at "hitting the ground running". It will be interesting to see what the demand is for a "not a full size" truck.
The Infiniti Q45a had active suspension that did the same thing for body roll, it's a very strange feeling, but very cool.
I've experienced that pogo effect when driving my dad's Sierra C3. It's annoying, but you can compensate for it with experience.
Videos like this make it very hard for me not to pre order one
How's the road and wind noise at highway speeds?
@12:58 that is a rare sight to see. A biker that does not occupy the lane. The biker is almost on the gravel to let cars pass by. Thank you biker. Be safe.
That JFK joke, HILARIOUS!!!
