Is the Rivian R1T a good off-road truck?

We are taking our friends who own a Rivian R1T to Hale Creek for an exhilarating off-road adventure. The Rivian R1T has the Adventure Package included, so stay tuned to witness the R1T's prowess in action, along with breathtaking views of Hale Creek.

We had lots of fun and it was a great adventure. Hopefully we will it again soon.

Definitely! Summer is coming!

Great video! Awesome camera work, Will! Cool seeing a Rivian on that trail!!

[@WiltonAdventure]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed! It was fun, or friends in the Rivian had a good time as well, though there were certainly a couple times that made them nervous, as expected.

The video and the views are very nice. Great trail. Btw The wheel does not go back because of not having lockers. Indeed, they are not even connected. There is no differential. The reason why it turn back is when the truck is going down as mean of hill decent control it turns the wheel back with light force to control speed, then when a wheel is lifted you can see what the computer is doing, yet it is doing that constantly, also helping with not using the brakes as much, and at the same time it is stil regening energy. It is actually very clever engineering. Correction: that maybe be the dual motor which it would have a differential, yet the wheels turning back are still a system for both models, quad and dual motor.

Silver brake calipers = a dual motor variant. That is a Dual Motor R1T. I also think it is the Dual Motor Performance which would have more off-road drive modes than the regular Dual Motor.

[@carlossilviotube]

@stevelabree497 oh ok. I was not sure. So I guess the quad motor won't do that.

Hey, thats me with the gladiator! 😂 Awesome video

[@WiltonAdventure]

So funny and cool that you found the video! It was nice to talk to you!

Jeep is coming out with a Gladiator PHEV that as far as I know will be the first plug in hybrid pickup if it beats out the Ram charger. Unfortunately only has 21 miles of range like the Jeep 4xE, so I think they should have put a larger battery in it. I have a Rav4 Prime and love it. I’d be tempted by a PHEV pickup over a Rivian if it was more efficient. I don’t need all the off road capability.

Is the R1T a dual motor performance or dual motor standard? And can you lock the diffs? Thanks

[@JwongKI3T]

Was this filmed sometime back in January? I think that was us in the Jeep at the 13:54 timestamp mark.

[@WiltonAdventure]

It was just a week ago. Looks like we found them in another comment. 😂

[@JwongKI3T]

Hahaha that’s my friend, turns out he went last week

[@WiltonAdventure]

Oh nice! We could all have a run together sometime.

[@degnarius]

Jeep owner: Weeee! Rivian owner: Oh God, please don’t let me scratch my precious!

[@WiltonAdventure]

I’m sure not every Jeep/Rivian owner is like that. 🙂

[@stevelabree497]

@@WiltonAdventure I'm not and know several Rivian owners who take their R1s on lots of trails without worry.

I mean going off the blue stickers on the wheel from the factory this seems to be a brand new truck so I would think they are going to be a bit cautious on their brand new truck lol
