The first battery-powered pickup of the modern era proves to be a practical workhorse and an impressive bit of electric-vehicle technology.
The Rivian R1T is smaller than it appears in photos. It's about the size of a mid-size pickup such as the Chevy Colorado, but with the mass of a three-quarter-ton truck like the Silverado 2500.
Four motors combining for 835 horsepower make the R1T the quickest pickup truck we've ever tested.
Air springs and adaptive dampers deliver a silky ride on-road, while off-road, the springs can increase the ground clearance to 14.9 inches.

The interior is chic, not drab as one might expect from a mostly black interior.
The EPA says the R1T is good for 314 miles, but at 75 mph we managed only 220. Cut that real-world range in half with a trailer attached.
A truly distinctive light signature lets everyone know this is something different.

"Vegan leather" is just another term automakers use for plastic. In the Rivian, it's no less luxurious than the real stuff.
There is no Apple CarPlay, but there are six USB-C ports to charge phones and other electronics, including this one on the back of the front seat.
There is no start button. Just keep the key in your pocket and put it in gear. If you drop the key, there is a rechargeable flashlight in the driver's door.
