Rivian R1T Electric Truck: Is It Practical For People Who Tow?

YouTube channel Now You Know recently published a video that covers in-depth testing of the Rivian R1T's towing prowess. They compare it to a heavy-duty diesel-powered truck, though they're not putting the trucks head-to-head. Instead, the video just works to give potential R1T owners a solid idea of what to expect when it comes to towing capability in general.

Once it became clear that electric pickup trucks were coming to market, truck owners had many important questions. Range is typically the first consideration when people compare an EV to a gas-powered vehicle, and this is especially true when it comes to trucks. If you're considering an electric pickup like the Rivian R1T, you'll likely need to know how much it can tow, and whether the electric range is reasonable while towing.
