The Fast Lane Car recently tested the all-new Rivian R1S SUV's towing range and efficiency. Much like us, the publication expected the large and heavy electric vehicle to lose quite a bit of range while towing a load. While it did lose many miles, it performed better than many people may have expected.
The Rivian R1S is a new three-row electric SUV that's very similar to its sibling, the R1T electric pickup truck, which startup automaker Rivian brought to market first. We've seen plenty of range tests and towing tests related to the R1T and rival electric trucks, such as the Ford F-150 Lightning, but we haven't yet seen a ton of coverage of the newer R1S.
