The R1T electrifies the pickup game with jaw-dropping power and innovation, but tech quirks hold it back.
Rocket-like acceleration · Innovative storage solutions
No Apple CarPlay or Android Auto · Cumbersome touchscreen controls
The 2026 Rivian R1T is the electric truck that makes you rethink what a pickup can be. With 665 horsepower and dual electric motors, it’s a rocket on the road, effortlessly tackling both the urban jungle and off-the-grid terrain. We were blown away by its clever storage solutions, like the Gear Tunnel, and its distinctive, rugged styling that makes it stand out in any parking lot. Yet, it’s not all perfect. The lack of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is baffling, and the touchscreen controls can be maddeningly cumbersome when you just want to adjust the climate settings. Despite these quirks, if you crave adventure with a high-tech twist, this is your truck.
Our pick: Adventure Dual Large ($78,700)
vs. 2026 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV: The EQE SUV offers a more refined driving experience, but the R1T takes the lead with its off-road capability and unique design.
