The Rivian R1T is special for a number of reasons: It was the first fully electric pickup truck to arrive in the US, it's highly capable, and it has a host of unique features. Its only true rival right now is the hulking GMC Hummer EV, though several competitors will be coming to market, and at least one is coming very soon: the Ford F-150 Lightning.
Fully Charged Show finally got the opportunity to do a full video review of the Rivian R1T, and it used the situation as a chance to introduce its US correspondent, Ricky Roy. The channel explains that Roy lives in California, and his location and availability allow Fully Charged to cover US-based EVs without dealing with hours of flight time. Traveling among automotive reviewers was greatly reduced due to the COVID-19 pandemics, and many publications have learned that there may be a better way.
At any rate, Roy does a fine job reviewing the R1T over the course of an epic road trip, and we look forward to more of his in-depth coverage in the future. While there's a ton of detailed information in the video above, the overall premise comes down to what makes the R1T "special," as well as whether or not it will remain a top choice as rivals from Ford, GM, and Tesla arrive.
