The Rivian R1T Gen 2 Quad is engineered with an uncompromising mission to give owners the most capability with the lightest footprint. This top-of-the-line electric truck features a quad-motor design, one for each wheel, that delivers an astonishing 1025 horsepower and almost 1200 pound-feet of torque. This power puts it in the top 1% of EV performance, standing alongside the fastest production cars on the road. The second generation boasts a significant increase in range, offering about 400 miles on a single charge, or roughly 370-380 miles when having fun in quad mode. Rivian's commitment to innovation extends to its in-house software, which is updated regularly. Coming in September, new features will include hands-free driving and a "kick turn" that incorporates four-wheel steering to allow the truck to literally turn in a circle, making it the sharpest turn any vehicle can make.
The R1T Quad, starting at about $120,000, is designed to deliver a blend of ultimate utility and modern convenience. The truck bed features a retractable cover and a push-button liftgate that creates a single contiguous surface for easy loading. Inside the bed, you'll find an air compressor and power outlets for all your adventure needs. The front cabin gives you every control at your fingertips. The new RAD Tuner (Rivian Adventure Department) software, functions like an equalizer for your car, allowing you to customize off-road settings for modes like Rock Crawl, Soft Sand, Rally, and Drift. A spacious frunk and offers secure storage for stowing luggage or a week's worth of groceries. This is complemented by a "gear tunnel" underneath the rear seats, which can be outfitted with a pull-out kitchen for camping trips, or used for keeping your golf clubs and other items out of sight.
The second generation R1T Quad features a Tesla-style (NACS) charge port, enabling charging at any Tesla Supercharger, and includes an adapter for conventional CCS charging stations. Owners of the Launch Edition will get unique details like a hidden flashlight in the door (reminiscent of the Rolls-Royce umbrella) and a removable speaker tucked into the center console. After its first round of test drives, the R1T Quad has received overwhelmingly positive reviews. People love its capability and the delightful driving experience on the highway and off-road, proving that Rivian is passionate about what their customers do with their trucks.
