Rivian advertises its EVs as "Adventure Vehicles," and for good reason. They're off-road-ready and highly durable while also providing a family-friendly luxury-grade cabin and plenty of niceties. The Rivian R1T may have what it takes to join the ranks of some of the best off-roaders available today, competing with the likes of both Jeeps and Land Rovers. But is it really worthy?
One of the best ways to find the answer to that question would be to pit the Rivian R1T against well-established and capable off-road rivals, almost all of which are gas guzzlers, though Jeep now offers the Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and Land Rover produces some PHEVs are well.
