Ford Lightning vs Rivian R1T | Which EV Truck Is Right For You?

[@pstoneking3418]

I love my massaging seats. Plenty of glove box space, center console is huge with 2 more USB ports. Heated & cooled front seats, heated rear seats. 9.6 kw power which includes the 240 voltage 30 amp 7200 watt twist lock receptical. 10 - 120 volt - 20 amp recepticals. Enough power to run a home that's daily usage is 30 kwh or less. 9600 watts will run a lot of appliances and 131 kwh battery will power those appliances for a long time.

[@Unclewalnut]

I have absolutely fallen in love with the rivian. I get mine in a few weeks. I like the company's vision, it fits in my garage, has gear guard, gear tunnel, variable air suspension, motors on each wheel, incredibly comfortable interior, exceptional handling and power, overall luxury feel, and it doesn't look like every other truck on the road. It is an amazing vehicle. People keep asking why you would buy from a new company when you could buy from Ford. All I have to say is that if this is the quality of their very first vehicle ever, then they have an amazing future ahead of them.

Hi Alex, just a small clarification. The onboard air compressor on the Rivian has it's own standalone compressor. The air suspension has it's own air supply.

A small clarification on the lightning as well. The wood is actually real end grain oak, and the covering is Alcantara Suede.

This was a VERY thorough video and we really appreciate it! Don't take this the wrong way, but I would argue this video will be more relevant to EV buyers than it is now. As of right now, each of these vehicles is effectively unobtainium; the only difference is that the F150 is expensive unobtainium, whereas the Rivian is STUPID expensive unobtainium. In a couple of years we'll have a better idea of which company is ready build their model in quantity and at a price people can afford...that is if EITHER company ever achieves this goal. But I love the video!!

[@nonamesnoneed3545]

My own money was on the line and I went with the F150, honestly could not be happier. The 80A charger comes with the extended range truck, so only had to pay for install. It is worth it. I have seen some Rivians around and their owners seem to love their choices too. So both great trucks.

[@rxibot]

One of the things you missed that makes the Lightning frunk better than the Rivian frunk, is that the Ford has a low loading height to get objects in. Whereas the Rivian has a very high height where you have to lift things up over the lip to put them in. Other than that you did a pretty good job on the video that's why I gave it a thumbs up!

[@pstoneking3418]

They are always promoting the Rivians on board air compression but never mentions the cfm so I'd image you can't run air tools. With the lightning you can plug a large 240 volt air compressor in and then even run a jack hammer if necessary.

[@chrishoman2405]

One feature that I love on the F150 is aluminum body panels. Old trucks tend to be rusty due to rough use. I am not sure if Rivian uses steel or aluminum

[@jay-ru-me]

Aluminum

[@chrishoman2405]

@@jay-ru-me Glad to hear that. Definitely makes the Rivian a favorite!

[@darpompie4354]

Rivian is also aluminum, BUT, the Lightning is the only one that is body on fully boxed steel frame. The Rivian is Unibody. If you put a lot of stress, like a lot of towing, or twisting articulation (like rock crawling) Body on frame is superior. Body on frame is also better for repairs. You can replace a lot more body panels, even the entire rear bed if you have to. On a Unibody, you basically need to spend big dollars to massage all the damage out.

Your comment is very under stated. Especially a year after you made it. It looks like Rivian's future is in real jeopardy at this time. Also, while in the market for a new EV work truck, I realized how limited the service is. Very few locations and very slow, we will see you in a few weeks appointments. With the Lightning, I've got like 20 dealers/service centres just around town and I can drop in without an appointment. For a work truck, time is money. I can't have my truck down for a month, hoping that the one guy working in the back finally gets to mine. I went with a Lightning and couldn't be any happier.

[@rusticroads]

How about service availability? Do all Ford dealers handle repairs on the Lightning? There are very few Rivian service centers (22 in the US, with 5 in CA, but none in many states), so if you need to get that tonneau cover repaired, how easy will it be to do so? It sounds like there was a suspension recall that was a very easy fix, but if I have to drive 2 hours or more to get to a service center, it's not so convenient to get something fixed. I'm also concerned about Rivian's long-term viability, but Amazon's contract alone should keep them afloat while they build up their support network. I like the idea of the Rivian and what they did with it (except for those oval headlights), but my money would be on the Lightning. It's a great truck if you need a truck, especially for truck things that the F-150 has been the leader in for a good long time. There's definitely a draw for a truck like the Rivian, especially for those that have outgrown their Outbacks. The Rivian is a cool product, but it's way too new to gamble my hard-earned money on. As the Shark Tank investors say all the time, "what are you doing that the other companies can't do and squash you like a cockroach?" Ford has said that they're going to be building a new EV truck in Tennessee, and my guess is that it will be aimed at the same market as the Rivian that they are already (lightly) tapping into with the Maverick. The Bronco brand has off-road credibility, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if they came out with a Bronco-branded EV adventure vehicle in truck and SUV forms. I believe that if Ford thought Rivian was doing something they could not, they would have bought out the entire company and absorbed the R1T into their lineup. It's probably cheaper to compete with their own product offering and push Rivian into the history books. I hope the best for Rivian, but I think it's long-term survival is very questionable. At best, the Rivian is a 3-year lease to minimize its risks.

[@garyclark6747]

I contend that the F150 Lightning is better at being a work truck than the Rivian is at being a rock crawling go over anything machine given its break over angle. I trust the Lightning to keep the battery pack cool under duress and to save your back as you load and unload the frunk more than the R1T. Both great trucks but to power my house I choose Ford. 🎯

Main functionality such as gear shifter, lighting, open/close (doors, frunk, tailgate), windshield wipers need a button.

Without having physical buttons to at least get you somewhere safe is a huge turn off for me.

The Rivian is a luxury SUV or CUV with the roof removed from the third row and storage. It is not a pickup truck, it is a toy. Don't get into the Rivian with your oil-stained jeans after working on a farm vehicle - that faux suede will never clean. The Lightning is most of the way to the same impracticality, but it has some working truck features. Neither is useful for me. I can't take either to the gravel pit and have them drop a front-end load of gravel in the bed. I can't put 72 sheets of 1/2" by 4' by 8' sheet rock in either of them. I can't put a cord of wood in either of them I have done all of these things with a 1977 Ford F-250. Sure, I got 12mpg whether I was driving loaded or empty. But I did so for 350,000 miles and I doubt these will last as long. When it comes to carbon emissions, it won't be until these reach 60,000 miles that these two vehicles will have produced equal carbon as my old F-250 at that mileage. The carbon released in the production and shipping starts them at 20 tons already sent into the atmosphere. If you add the power generation to charge the Rivian or Lightning they will only be 20% less by the time they hit 100,000 miles. Just getting the materials for their batteries requires mining and processing 250 tons of minerals and rock. I'm sure these are great for dilettantes and faux environmentalists - but not for me.

[@BumbleBeeJBG]

Am I the only one who cares about the actual ability to use these as 4x4s? I wouldn't buy an F150 Lightning to see how well it could rock crawl but doing it on a Rivian is new and exciting. Frankly the Range Rover is too expensive and the Grand Cherokee is a bit underwhelming when you have the 4-Door Wrangler sitting right there in show room. You don't see too many 2022 Grand Cherokees out in hard spots for a reason. Punctuating the review comparing it as the "truck" version of these I think misses the point. I feel like in spirit it's better to compare the R1T to a Gladiator Rubicon than it is a truck version of the Grand Cherokee and Ranger Rover. If you were an alien without human emotion you'd find the latter logical but the human emotion side of me just sees it as a very poor cross-shopping reference. The R1T is a more compelling off-roader on many levels than the Hummer EV which set out with the specific goal of being the most "ultimate off-road machine ever" and is being sold starting at $70k for the next few years instead of $115k+ that the Hummer goes for. The F150 is the better work truck, hands down. If that's what you need in your life in a light duty truck, that's what you should get. For almost any other application, including very picky off-roaders, the R1T is an absolute steal @ $70k for the quad-motor and will probably be equally as so when it's $70k for the dual motor. The things the Ford does better is not worth the $90k you're going to have to pay to get that trim. Not over the advantages the Rivian offers.

[@LeesChannel]

@@zoobrizz Would you stop spamming everyone who is interested in the vehicles in this video with the same copypasta? For someone who is allegedly not interested in EVs you sure spend a lot of time here on an EV dedicated channel commenting on EVs.

@@LeesChannel seems waldo is angry about something. Probably has way too much time on his hands too. Seems like a "real truck" guy would have better things to do.

Let me make it simple, the Rivian is worthless as a truck because it’s too small.
