The Rivian R1T all-electric pickup was the best vehicle Fox News Autos Editor Gary Gastelu drove in 2021.
More power than any muscle car ever, in fact. The R1T Launch Edition that went on sale this fall has a four-motor drivetrain with a combined 835 hp, which makes it the king of performance pickups, too.
It's also equipped with a computer-controlled air suspension system that can lower the vehicle to give it the driving dynamics of a sports sedan, or raise it to deliver over 14 inches of ground clearance and extreme off-road capability. All this with a driving range of 314 miles per charge and a maximum tow rating of 11,000 pounds, just not at the same time.
Rivian wanted to make a statement and threw the kitchen sink at the R1T. Literally. The midsize truck offers an optional Camp Kitchen with sink and stove that slides into the unique Gear Tunnel storage area that runs through the vehicle between the cab and bed.
