2026 Rivian R1T review

Rivian R1T: capability first, comfort close behind. Illustrative review

9.6/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Rivian R1T sits near the top of its class. Strong tow and payload ratings for the class; cab is quiet at highway speed. Tall step-in height and upper trims get expensive quickly, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $72,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

Exactly what we needed

The towing stability is the standout. My only gripe is the fuel bill when towing, which I knew going in.

★★★★★Jenna W. · Tampa, FL · 3 months owned
Great daily driver

Replaced an older Rivian with this one. Big step up in towing stability; I'd like a little more rear-seat room.
