I drove the Rivian R1T Tri for a week — here's my pros and cons

2025 Rivian R1T Tri.

When it comes to the best electric cars, there are plenty of SUVs and sedans to choose from — but there’s barely any options for pickup trucks. I’ve been lucky enough to drive a Ford F150 Lighting for a weekend, but it’s taking me over 20+ other vehicles to finally once again drive an all-electric pickup truck.

I drove a Rivian R1T for a week and it’s one of EVs I’ve been eager to check out, especially due to its unique design. I’ll be frank, though, it’s the priciest EV I’ve tested to date — with the R1T Tri fetching for a whopping $99,900. Needless to say, that's not cheap at all and there’s a higher expectation for an EV in this price range.
