Rivian R1T 1st Generation

2022–2026 · R1T · truck

The first US production electric truck, with the first one delivered to a customer on September 28, 2021 (as a 2022 model). Crew-cab four-door body with a 4.5-foot cargo bed and the signature Gear Tunnel pass-through. US lineup: Dual-Motor (533 hp), Performance Dual-Motor (665 hp), and Quad-Motor (835 hp with individual wheel motors and full torque vectoring). Battery options from 105 kWh Standard to 149 kWh Max; EPA range 255 to 420 miles. Built in Normal, Illinois. A 2024 R1T Gen 2 update revised electronics and removed several control modules to cut complexity.

Watch out: REAL ISSUE: Multiple Gen 1 issues documented: door handle motor failures, screen flickers, and the ICCU-equivalent charging system recall (Rivian NHTSA campaign 24V-191 covering 2022-2024 R1T and R1S, with an inverter that could fail and leave the vehicle stranded). The Gen 2 mid-2024 refresh addressed many of these via new electronics. Confirm the Gen 1 inverter remedy on any used purchase.
