Rivian R1T

The truck that proved EVs could go off-road. Rivian's R1T launched in 2021 as the first electric pickup truck to market — beating Ford, GM, and Tesla. It can wade through 3+ feet of water, has a built-in camp kitchen, and its quad-motor setup delivers 835 horsepower with a tank turn capability. The gear tunnel between the cab and bed is genuinely innovative. Rivian secured an $11.9 billion IPO and a 100,000-van order from Amazon. The R1T proved that electric trucks weren't a compromise — they were an upgrade.
