If the rave reviews (including Mashable’s) didn’t convince you about Rivian’s first auto, an all-electric truck called the R1T, maybe this will: It was just named MotorTrend’s Truck of the Year for 2022.The $73,00 pickup with 314 miles of range beat out other new or updated truck models like the GMC Hummer EV, Ford Maverick (a hybrid), Hyundai Santa Cruz, and others. Last year’s winner was the Ram 1500 TRX.MotorTrend’s head of editorial Ed Loh called it a historic win. It’s the first all-electric truck to win and the first time MotorTrend has given a car maker the top title for its first vehicle. The R1T was first delivered to customers at the end of September. Rivian plans for a second car, the R1S electric SUV, to arrive later in 2022.
It can handle city driving.
