Funny how there a big “don’t text and drive” movement yet some cars like these will have you go through several screens for on the go adjustments as simple as moving your airflow. Physical functions and buttons are still much appreciated! You don’t have to throw every little thing onto a screen just for aesthetics.

Doug missed a pretty massive “quirk and feature.” The Rivian has the ability to tow-to-charge. The idea being that if you are stranded, the hitches on the front can be used to tow the car and the regenerative braking mechanism will allow the car to be charged from the tow. This feature was actually shown being used in the documentary Long Way Up when one of their Rivian’s did not have enough power to make it to the next charger.

In theory any EV with regenerative braking could do that, it just might not be recommend by the manufacturer.

@@directorjustin Most EV makers actually strongly recommend against towing in any way except on a flatbed. Tesla, for example, is extremely clear that the car should never be towed with tires on the road. Rivian seems to have some sort of special sauce they designed in to allow the tow-to-charge feature.

Yeah but I really don’t understand a lot of the choices, I think they made a lot of choices bad for trucks. They don’t have high power outlets, bizarre they don’t, given so many folks have giant generators in their bed to power welders or power tools. Also the use of buttons on the edges of the bed are going to get damaged, tunnel doors should use normal handles, or maybe tailgate handles, would be far better. Bed cover should be manual imo, but I get why it’s auto. Those doors on the tunnel should be able to support more weight, though it’s minor issue. The adjustable roof rack seems gimmicky, and I doubt they will be very resilient. Screens are always bad as gauge clusters imo because of glare. Built in speaker kind of confirms that much of the truck is gimmick based for me. Generally I love it, but I do think it took too much ev/city inspiration, and neglected many truck features. I looove the look though, new but approachable, and pretty. My hope is they make a more rugged model eventually, or make them options, but I doubt it, they will probably be a permanent city truck manufacturer.

With management like that I can see how Chrysler became the forward-thinking innovation leader that it is.

As a vehicle it looks more polished than a Tesla - hopefully there won't be quality issues like Tesla still does. It's a capable all-terrain vehicle full of storage space, something that you can use to do your job. I'd still prefer physical buttons though.

This feels almost like the spiritual successor to the Lincoln Blackwood. A nice, roomy, quiet and luxurious truck loaded with amenities. Thing is though it also has a rugged and utilitarian personality that caters to outdoor enthusiasts. They really knocked it out of the park here. I think this truck will do very well if Rivian can meet demand and infrastructure improves overtime.

The big thing the F150 does that none of the others do is allow you to use it as a battery for your house. It really feels like that's an insanely overlooked feature. Sure there's some extra cost to hook it up, but it's a cost you'll have hooking up any battery source to your house. If you live in an area with time of day pricing on electricity then it would be really helpful to hook up your truck to the house during those hours and then charge it up outside of that time.

solar charging one of these would not be very practical. here's why: the standard home charger requires 15 amps at 120 volts to charge the battery at a rate of 4 miles per hour of charging. producing 15 amps of ac power via solar would require at least 1400 watts of solar panels. how would you possibly mount that many panels on this truck? at best with today's solar panel technology you might be able to put 800 watts of panels over the cab and bed, which would only give you just over 2 miles per hour of charging. that's not a lot of range increase unless you plan to stay in one place for a couple of weeks. it might be ok if you planned on using the truck as a power source while camping and the solar would keep the battery charged up close to where it was when you arrived, but it's doubtful it would be able to fully charge the battery.

Excellent review. I have owned many vehicles including other high end electric vehicles and vehicles more expensive than rivian. This is the absolute best vehicle I have ever owned...its amazing what a swiss army knife of vehicles it is...exotic sports car level acceleration, very good handling, legit offroad ability and I can haul crap in the bed while toting 4 people comfortably. Its amazing and does everything really well.

Should be easy to find on a major online retailer that stars with an A. Unbelievable my comment gets deleted for merely recommending a product. Clearly I’m not profiting from it. WTF KZbin?

I love all of the ideas that have been put into this truck. You can tell it was truly thought out. However, I am concerned about everything being electronic. If you look across the car industry, manufacturers that have gone to pop out door handles or door latches that are electronically controlled have faced huge reliability issues with these actuators. I understand that most people will not face this problem until the 3rd or 4th year of ownership. With this truck, its not just the actuators for the door its the 15 others I am also concerned about and the cost of ownership once these start to fail.

My thoughts exactly, a first-time automaker, making a vehicle with powered climate vents? What happens when the actuator on the charger door fails? And couple that with all the peculiar joys of an air suspension system?

@@zabamaz103 the question more so should be....why would you have a fully loaded bed while offroading and also while knowingly being near a possible tire danger zone. In the street not even a screw will blow up this tire so easily. These are meaty as hell. Essentially unless you are a cheap ass and have driven these tires near the wire you basically won't have an issue lol. Anybody who buys and can afford a Rivian should not have to think about how "expensive" the tires are in the first place lmao.
