One of our "go-to" Rivian R1T YouTube influencers, TEDActuallyTalks, put together a short video highlighting the electric pickup truck's winter weather performance. More specifically, he demonstrates how the R1T handles in fresh snow while exploring the vehicle's various drive modes.
We know that the Rivian R1T is a highly capable off-road warrior with ridiculous acceleration, loads of instant low-end torque, and impressive traction. However, we haven't seen a whole lot of footage of the electric truck dealing with fresh snow. While TED admits that he wishes the snow would have been deeper, it's a good amount of snow for a first test of the R1T's capabilities and drive modes.
For those unaware, the Rivian R1T offers several different drive modes. In fact, we recently shared an official video from Rivian that showcases the R1T's quad-motor powertrain and all eight of its driving modes. The modes include Sport, Off-Road Drift, All Purpose, Off-Road Auto, Off-Road Rock Crawl, Off-Road Rally, Conserve, and Towing.
