The core R1T configuration and the most common in the used market — dual motor all-wheel-drive with one motor per axle. Available in standard output (533 HP) and Performance output (665 HP) variants. Range varies significantly by battery pack: Standard battery (105 kWh) delivers approximately 231 miles, Large battery (135 kWh) approximately 314 miles, and Max battery (149 kWh) up to 420 miles — making the Dual Motor with Max battery the longest-range R1T configuration available. Towing capacity of 11,000 lbs. The 2025 refresh updated the front fascia, interior, and charging port from CCS to NACS. Starting price around $70,990 for 2026.

The Tri Motor configuration was introduced with the 2025 refresh as a new middle ground between the Dual Motor and Quad Motor. Three permanent magnet motors — two at the rear and one at the front — delivering performance and efficiency between the two existing configurations. Available only with the Max battery pack. Priced between the Dual Motor Max and Quad Motor. Less common in the used market than the Dual Motor due to its recent introduction. We purchase all Tri Motor examples in any condition.

The Quad Motor is the R1T’s top performance configuration — one motor per wheel for individual wheel torque control. First generation Quad Motor produced 835 HP. The 2nd generation Quad Motor (introduced with the 2025 refresh) produces 1,025 HP and enables 0–60 mph in 2.5 seconds — making it one of the fastest production pickup trucks ever built. The individual wheel motor setup enables Rivian’s “Tank Turn” feature — allowing the truck to spin in place by driving opposite wheels in opposite directions. Also unlocks “Kick Turn” for 2026. Available with the Max battery pack. Starting at $99,990 for 2026.

Early R1T production (2022–2023) was sold in two primary trim packages — Explore (base) and Adventure (fully loaded) — rather than the à la carte options available later. The Launch Edition was a limited configuration available to early reservation holders. These early production R1T trucks are identifiable by their pre-refresh styling including the original front fascia, CCS charging port, and first-generation interior. Well-maintained early examples with low mileage retain significant value. We purchase all early production R1T trucks in any condition.

The R1T is 217.1 inches long and 79.3 inches wide — longer than a mid-size truck but narrower than a full-size. Rivian classifies it as a luxury mid-size pickup. The bed measures 54 inches long (4.5 feet) — shorter than most full-size trucks but usable for most applications. The motorized powered tonneau cover is standard. Body-on-frame construction with the chassis bolted and glued rather than welded to the body. Curb weight is approximately 7,148 lbs for the Quad Motor — significantly heavier than gasoline competitors, which affects payload and towing calculations.

The R1T’s most distinctive feature is its three-zone storage system. The front trunk (frunk) provides 11 cubic feet of lockable storage under the hood — accessible via key fob or app. The Gear Tunnel is a pass-through storage compartment between the cab and bed on the driver’s side, measuring approximately 65 gallons of volume and long enough for a sleeping bag or ski equipment. The bed adds the primary cargo area with an electric powered tonneau cover. Combined storage is unmatched by any other pickup truck in any class. The Gear Tunnel is the most talked-about R1T feature among owners.

The R1T’s maximum towing capacity is 11,000 lbs — competitive with gasoline mid-size trucks, though real-world towing range is significantly reduced. Adaptive air suspension with multiple height settings comes standard — the R1T can raise for off-road clearance or lower for highway aerodynamics. Water fording depth of 34 inches. Ground clearance of 14.9 inches at full lift. The optional off-road package adds all-terrain tires and underbody protection. Independent motor control on the Quad Motor provides exceptional traction on loose surfaces. The R1T has been used in overlanding and off-road competitions with strong results.
