We are about to see the fully electric pickup lineup go from zero to crowded in just a few months. Some of the pickup trucks about to hit the market include Tesla's new Cybertruck, General Motor's Hummer EV, Lordstown's Pickup, and Canoo's new pickup. Ford is about to release its new F-150, but the specs remain unknown for now.

But Rivian's R1T has to be one of the very best electric trucks. If you are looking for an off-roading experience, it may just come down to a face-off between the R1T and the Hummer EV - both of which have been designed with a focus on off-roading. But the R1T seems to have been particularly well designed and comes with a range of all new and innovative designs. Here are some features that will make the R1T the best pickup truck on the market.

8 Range 300-400 Miles

When the Rivian R1T first becomes available later this year it will have a range of up to 300 miles on a single charge. That's largely in line with other high-end EV pickup trucks soon to hit the market. It's better than the Cybertruck Single Motor, the same as the Cybertruck Dual Motor, and a little less than the Hummer EV with its range of up to 350 miles.

But Rivian has announced that starting in January 2022 its R1T will be have an extended range of up to 400 miles. That will place it up there with the very best and only the Cybertruck Tri Motor with its 500 miles will be better. It will also be better than the vast majority of high-end EV passenger cars on the market too. About the same as Tesla's best Model S and only behind the luxury Lucid Air soon to enter production.

7 Inbuilt Kitchen

One of the more interesting designs of the R1T is its inbuilt kitchen. Just how often does one see a kitchen built into a pickup truck? The R1T has been carefully designed and crafted for superb off-road performance as well as excellent on-road handling.

Rivian states that its camp kitchen "enables you to prepare complete meals wherever you are — easily, comfortably and with a view." Just another convenience if you forget to bring the camp table! Or if you are just a little too lazy bother to set it up every time you stop for a coffee.

6 High Level Of Autonomous Driving

The Rivian R1T comes with a whole suite of advanced sensors and intelligent computer systems that allow for a high degree of autonomous driving. The R1T's Driver+ systems enable you to relax and enjoy the ride while still keeping attention on the road.

The Driver+ will automatically steer, adjust speed, and change lanes at the driver's command.

5 0-60MPH Acceleration

The R1T achieves an acceleration from 0-60mph in an impressive 3.0 seconds. That's essentially the best out there on the market. It's far better than the Cybertruck's Single and Dual Motor models with 6.5 and 4.5 seconds respectively and a match for the Hummer EV with its 3.0 seconds.

Only the Cybertruck's Tri Motor can theoretically beat it with 2.9 seconds. But that is so close that much of it could be in the rounding. Who knows who would win a real-life matchup. At any rate, it would be very close.

4 Wading Depth

The R1T has been engineered with an eye towards off-road performance and with that it has a wading depth in water of up to 3 feet.

That is more than enough to pretty confidently cross just about any creek, stream, or puddle you find in your way while on those off-road tracks!

3 Gear Tunnel

The Rivian R1T also features a rather innovative "gear tunnel". This long and narrow storage space running across the back of the vehicle is ideal for storing some typical outdoor equipment like skis, trail shoes, or even your tent.

The gear tunnel is just another example of how this pickup truck has been optimized for camping and off-roading.

2 Impressive Warranties

Rivian certainly has full confidence in their vehicles, and they stand behind them offering them some pretty impressive warranties. As the Rivian vehicles are built to last and electric vehicles have fewer moving parts means there is less to wear out and break, they offer warranties for as long as 8 years.

Rivian's standard comprehensive warranty is 5 years or 60,000 miles while their Battery Pack and Drivetrain are covered for 8 years or 175,000 miles. Corrosion is covered for 8 years.

1 Competitive Towing Capacity

The Rivian R1T has a maximum towing capacity of 11,000lb and that is close to the maximum of any EV pickup truck on the market or on the horizon. It beats both the Cybertruck's Single and Dual Motor models but comes in behind the Tri Motor with its 14,000lbs.

Towing heavy loads cuts the estimated range by about 50%. So if you are towing a heavy trailer close to its full towing capacity, you can expect around 200 miles of range.

In summary, the Rivian R1T is an excellent fully electric off-road pickup truck that will give the Hummer EV or Cybertruck a run for their money.
