About Rivian

Rivian has gained a lot of attention as a new electric vehicle startup. It first shared its plans at the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show and went on to start delivering vehicles a few years later. In the U.S., 2022 was the first model year for the R1S SUV and R1T pickup. Both are rugged off-roaders with good all-electric range. 

The R1S has three rows of seating, standard all-wheel drive, and a striking exterior bound to turn heads. The R1T is just as impressive, with a huge estimated towing capacity and a 4.5-foot cargo bed. If you want rugged off-road ability ready for your next adventure — but without the tailpipe emissions — Rivian could be one to consider.
