Just curious, but how much range do you have towing something like a boat? My biggest concern so far is only being able to tow for a couple hours then having to stop and charge for 45 minutes ha.
@@1190CB Haven't paid attention to it yet, the lake is only 21 miles from home so the range isn't a concern for the trip. The boat mostly lives at the lake during the summer so I'm usually only dropping it in the water, and taking it out rather than towing it round trip from home several times a week. What I've seen from others is a 40-60% range drop depending on the trailer. I've seen others tow long distances but I really wouldn't want to do it often until there are more chargers and one's set up to accommodate a trailer without unhitching.
@@1190CB He's right about the charge drop with towing. My brother has one, while awesome and a great piece for future EV, the 400 mile trip towing a 5000lb trailer was less than great. We had to plan out a route that had chargers, almost every 80 miles it seemed we had to go pull in somewhere. Unfortunately, I'm not very tech savvy, so we never recorded the trip. But a paper trail has at least been started to document any decline in performance when towing. Use to having a little gas hog, but this trip was painful time wise. If/when the power grid catches up and these can be charged quicker, EV will be a great choice, but until then, I'd have to stick with the fossil fuel.
There are already 2 Rivians in my neighborhood. One in white and the other in green. They are the head turners-so futuristic, clean&lean, and yet cute.
Fun comparison! I picked the Rivian R1T in October of 2019 and it's due by the end of May [yes - May, 2022]. Had the chance to test drive one several weeks ago and also have the R1S [SUV] on order. The future is here!
if i had to pick i would pick raptor just because its more purpose build and that onboard power.Cleetus McFarland recently gave up on his diehard love of RAMs and got the raptor. Ot recently saved his but when he was hosting clutch kickers at the freedom factory and the pumps there were keeping up.He pulled out the raptor and was able to plug in and pump put the excess water. BUT in reality i would buy a 30k v8 coyote f150. SLAP SOME FUEL BOOST AND SOME STREET SUSPENSION OR OFFROAD (DEPENDING WHAT YOU ARE INTO.) AND YOU SMOKE TRX RUNNING 8S AND 9S IN THE 1/4 MILE PLUS YOU WILL HAVE LESS INTO IT THAN THESE TRUCKS MAKING UP TO 1200WHP OR A RELIABLE 950WHP . YOU CAN DO THAT FOR AROUND 60K IMCLUDING MODS AND TRUCK.
Raptor owner here with an order placed for a Rivian. The Raptor was a great truck, 0 issues in 4 years of ownership but I'm just not buying another $80k+ daily driver that is combustion engine, sorry. Now I'm hoping I made the right choice between the Rivian and the Ford Lighting.
I was in the market for a truck and researched 2 years ago. Decided the the R1T was the way for me to go. I've had it a month and am not looking back! Love Love Love it. It does everything and more for me.
Wish ya happiness with the EV world. I entered the EV by 1st renting a Model 3 car in 2020. Then because I was in it for a short period of time (it was a weekend rental) , I elected to buy a Model S (new version with yoke steering wheel). After about a month, I was already having buyer's remorse. 6 months into ownership, I just sold it. The EPA MPGe figures are a joke... You'll ONLY achieve anything close to the advertised/published numbers if there are no stop signs, inclines (hills), erratic traffic speeds, and vehicle kept under 60mph. I'm going back to ICE (RAM 1500 Limited w/ diesel eng) and I'll happily pay $6+ per gallon.
I would take the TRX. Dinosaur bone will be valuable someday? I have driven one and it makes me smile non stop. It will be a collectors truck parked in the garage while I drive my Cybertruck..lol
1. Raptor 2. Ram 3. Rivian Going hunting on weekends. That round trip means I would need a charging station. Good luck in the sticks. Once they figure out range/charging infrastructure that Rivian, or anotherTruck EV, get's more attractive. I am not a fan of the way the Rivian looks either. The Ram is a Dodge product, while they have gotten better I am still not willing to drop $100K on one. I have a 2018 Raptor. It's a badass truck (read biased if you want).
Right now, my pick is the Raptor even with it's dated looks. The generator system along with all the performance is what attracts me. If money was no object then the TRX. The Rivian, while cool tech wise just doesn't do it for me on size or looks.
I would go with the Rivian. The power and speed in this video suggest it is a beast that must be contained. Any driver probably has to check himself before he wrecks himself in this monster ! 🙂
R1T for me. Yes, it has flaws and limits like any electric vehicle but it has amazing power and handling for a truck. Well done Rivian, but it sucks you had to raise the price by 20+% and I'm still concerned about the longevity of the company.
This is a hard one! All three models are great, but we must pick just one. I will say the Rivian would be my choice, why?? It's the future! As you said, it is funny looking, not in this words, but its tech is just superb! I love it!
So…. The TRX and R1T drove down glorified dirt roads that a RAV-4 would navigate with ease and the Raptor was the only one shown on the whoops and doing anything remotely “off-roady” and I think that tells us all we need to know.
well, if you're towing an average sized camper, don't plan on going farther than 75 miles away from the nearest charging station if you pick the Rivian. At least with the Raptor and TRX you can carry jerry cans.
We’ll if you can carry cans in the Raptor and TRX then you can carry a generator in the r1t🫢………….so there is no down side, but gas prices will continue to get sky high! 🤷🏽♂️
Still too many compromises for the EV in the Truck space for me. I'd probably get the Raptor or Raptor R. But that Rivian is something special, no doubt.
R1T delivery window May-June. My first pickup truck and I can't wait. R1S on order too. Probably a couple of years away, but staying ahead takes planning. Great Review!
TRX for days. Then the Raptor (which is in need of a redesign). And the Rivian's a distant third. But as someone who doesn't drive a ton, looks (which, granted, are subjective) are my guiding principle. I'm not anti-EV, but the Rivian looks like a cartoon. And not in a good way. I'd pick up an F-150 Lightning long before a Rivian. At the moment, though, my plan is to put in an order for a TRX before the lease is up on my X7. I live for the noise.
When It comes to the way we WILL do things, you are not wrong. The catch is the charging infrastructure isn't mature enough for me to go electric yet. In the here and now, even though my favorite vehicle on the planet is the raptor, my $100K is on plug in hybrid trucks. Fords power boost is at the top of my short list. Toyota's new hybrid isn't here yet but it's coming.
As long as I'm not towing anything more than 100 miles, I'll take the Rivian. It'll kill a Hellcat off the line and it's a nicer place to be for a daily driver stuck in traffic.
Raptor! Which one are you going to drive across country or off-road without fear of running out of battery and nosy to charge. Rivian is impressive but the charging infrastructure is not where it needs to be yet
I spent it on a TRX because in the real world we live now I didn't have to pay above sticker price like raptors owners do and I could go anywhere I want without stopping for an hour or more to re charge. I get the Rivian is nice but in the real world we live now the TRX is my pick.
How long will it take to recharge that truck in the backcountry with a generator? Just curious because the trails I go on are up to 3hours from the nearest town and I need to bring enough gas to fill my tank to get back after a long day on the trails. So if I drive an electric truck I can bring a generator to charge it back up ?
I'd pick anything but the rivian tbh at least I can keep those vehicles for over 20 years it won't lose a fortune on resale value when my battery is go also people think EVS are cheaper to maintain when they're not
After 150k miles the raptor and text gas spent will be as much as R1T replacement in batteries. True less maintenance we hope. I take the TRX well maintained that big engine will go the 300k miles easily and still sound awesome.
Nice video and interesting comparison! You might need to add an extra chapter soon in this video with the Ford F150 lightning! Thank you for sharing! 🔌⚡🚘
Quite honestly, I'm tired about hearing about the death of ICE machines and the future of EVs. I'm still not convinced our grid can handle every one going electric. I work for a power company, we have meetings about this stuff... We present a positive outlook to the public but we are all internally worried and working our butts off just trying to make sure people's homes have power. Not to mention their cars. Its not fun. Not to mention the point of the video, according to the title was which truck was more fun. Sounds to me like "the way we used to do things" is more fun. I'll take one of each please.
I agree, a BIG part of it is the constant push by uncle Sam. But name 1 government run system/organization that is very effective. People like to "think" they're looking at the bigger picture but they're looking at it through a narrow lens
Well, given that I had a Rivian reservation for about two years before they screwed with the price (26% increase on mine) and that totally blew my faith in the management of the company, I’d go raptor. I’d largely go Raptor over TRX because you can still get one in the mid to high 70s (won’t get the 800hp, 300/400 mile range Rivian for under $100k). Rivian did give me a couple of day window to take my reservation back at the original price but the trust was gone. BTW, gas prices won’t stay this high forever and as more people plug in, electric will jump, nothing is free. For those who love the environment, with all of the rare metals involved and mining, the size of the batteries, you’ll probably have to go at least 120,000 miles before it’s cleaner than the Raptor.
@@dmiller9786 not sure of the exact context of the comment but there are companies that have earned trust over time. Rivian is new, even the idea that they might still exist to sell parts or service the car in 5 years takes a level of trust. Chrysler/Stellantis takes a lot of shit but they’ve taken care of multiple problems for me outside of warranty and so I have a level of trust there, for example.
Pure fun: TRX Long distance off roading work truck: Raptor For fun, cost, reliability, looks, capability under a certain distance, any my choice: Rivian What I really want: Cyber Truck
The R1T will be my first EV and first truck. I just ordered in April so I have a long wait. Especially since I ordered the quad and Max battery. Am I the only girl here?
I'd buy a Maverick and save the rest of the money. Sips fuel and I'll rarely risk high insurance costs or speeding tickets, with the added benefit of low maintenance costs from not banging about on off-road surfaces.
Oh my Lord, Ryan...! How on EARTH did you manage to sound so vocally controlled to camera whilst still hooning the bejeeba's out of that Raptor on the off-road course...!! 🤣 Absolutely hats off to you, Sir... 🤠
Fun video. Thank you. I have owned a Raptor 37 since Oct 2021, (love it) but I just put $1000 deposit on an R1T. (wish I did before the price hike). I'm sure it will take forever to be delivered, so I'll just enjoy the Raptor till then. All great trucks, I just fancy the R1T. Times a changing...
T-ReX #1, Raptor #2. Being in the middle of the country we don’t have the number of charging stations available like you would need for the EVs. Sure it’s the future, but it’s not the right now.
So, which one will take longer to drive 500/1000 miles one way? How long do you have to stop and recharge the Rivian enroute, while the others are gas up and go? What is the cost for those charging stations, no one ever mentions that in their reviews? I'm not in the market for any of these (I'll stick with my RAM w/Cummins), but I just don't think the Rivian is worthwhile outside of a small circle around it's home base right now...
I wouldn't spend a 100k for any truck..but of the three if I had too, I would pick the Rivian, TRX and then the Raptor in that order...what about the Atlis Work truck?
If I had $100,000 to spend on something fun there are WAY better things you can get than a truck. I'd spend $10k on a jet ski $20k on a side by side. And 25k on a a used truck and trailer. Then with the leftover 45k I could buy....a lot of other stuff.
I’ve just always been a Raptor fan. Rivian is very tempting too though. TRX is cool, but just seems too much for me as a daily driver and would pay a fortune on gas
What happens if you take the Rivian out to the middle of no where and need to charge up? There aren't a lot of charging stations sitting in the middle of the frickin desert. Whereas you can load up another 2-6 cans of gas with the old tech and increase your range by another 500 miles as needed. And finding a gas station in the middle of nowhere is a lot easier than finding a charging station. So if you really want to off-road far out there, you simply can't take the Rivian.
Brilliant, when your battery goes flat on the Rivian can you go and get a jerry can full of electricity to refill it?? No, give me the other 2 every day of the week!
I've wanted a Raptor for years, and then the TRX came out and OMG; so much WANT!! But now, I would take the Rivian 100%... until my Lightning gets here in 3 months!
gen 3 raptor BUT the raptor R when it comes out.. i have a og raptor 6.2L best truck ive owned but its a expensive hobby. maybe the ford lightning in the future
funny 😂 the rivian is to pretty!! how bout it costs over $100,000 !!we're supposed to go green, but most of America can't even afford these vehicles. pushing electric way to fast and hard.if I chose one, it would be the raptor.
Raptor is my choice. Works better, more comfortable, I personally like the looks better (immediate recognition unlike the TRX), and has been refined and certainly improved over the years. TRX next. Love the power and sound, but can't take the abysmal fuel economy and isn't as comfortable as the Ford. Electronics are a little slower as well than the Fords. Rivian a very distant 3rd as all electric is not fitting with my lifestyle and I personally don't care for the styling. I have driven both the Ford and Dodge, not the Rivian though.
I've driven the R1T and was disappointed. Yes it is fast and has cool features, but the interior definitely doesn't feel 100K price tag. Raptor at the sticker price is the best of 3.
Congrats! You just won $100,000 for a truck! Which of these are you buying and where’s the first place you’re taking it?
Raptor, cause I'd want to use it for its purpose.
F-150 Lightning! ;)
PS
I know, I know...
F150 Lightning with Mustang Mach-E GTPE Package
Without a doubt, the Rivian R1T. It's a better truck and better for the environment. First trips to CO and UT.
@@scotteg better for the environment… doesn’t take into account the mining for batteries and then fossil fuel burning to ultimately power the thing
Took delivery of an R1T last month. Been an amazing vehicle so far and awesome for towing my boat at the lake.

To do truck things, the Lightning will probably be better. As a complete package that you’d drive daily…Rivian all day.

Agreed. I ordered a 2022 Raptor and have not got it yet, but I'm excited.
Kinda a tough comparison. The only thing these have in common is the fact that they are trucks. The R1T is cool but I'd take the TRX all day.
R1T...I finally got a test drive recently and can't wait to get mine delivered.
The writing for this video was excellent. Kudos to whoever wrote it! I only wish it was longer.
Right now, my pick is the Raptor even with it's dated looks. The generator system along with all the performance is what attracts me. If money was no object then the TRX. The Rivian, while cool tech wise just doesn't do it for me on size or looks.
Pretty much my feelings, too.
Rivian has a more capable generator and built in compressor for airing tires 🛞
I have to agree, make it full size with more aggressive looks and I'll take another look at it.
I would go with the Rivian. The power and speed in this video suggest it is a beast that must be contained. Any driver probably has to check himself before he wrecks himself in this monster ! 🙂
I'm still taking a trx. I need a v8. But the rivian is cool

I really like this production of the video. Great work Edmunds!
So…. The TRX and R1T drove down glorified dirt roads that a RAV-4 would navigate with ease and the Raptor was the only one shown on the whoops and doing anything remotely “off-roady” and I think that tells us all we need to know.
I was wondering if anybody else would notice that.
Exactly, only the Raptor was driven on the undulating road!
Don’t be fooled . The TRX is insane Offroad. Not sure why they filmed like that? I’ve driven both and the TRX dominates the Raptor in every way.
@@troycollins5073 there is nothing which dominates a raptor in offroad just saying , trx is just another dodge Junk
He hardly drove the R1T at all
That TRX is a BEAST😯
I got a Rivian on order. R1T for me.
You didn’t show the trailer with the generator to get the rivian charged up to make it back home from your trip to the desert.
Why show something that wasn't needed? Nice try though 😉
TRX hands down.
I might reconsider when the Cybertruck is released.
well, if you're towing an average sized camper, don't plan on going farther than 75 miles away from the nearest charging station if you pick the Rivian. At least with the Raptor and TRX you can carry jerry cans.

Already spent my 100k on a TRX ! If the rivian is the future, I'll live in the past, thanks.
😂
good choice
TRX hands down, I could care less about that rivian, I'll just add that additional 130 something hp and destroy it but that's just me
Rivian would be my 1st choice followed by the Raptor, then the TRX….👍🏾👍🏾
Felt less like a review and more like a piece of poetry.
I bought the Rivian and I haven't regretted it since the day I bought it.
R1T delivery window May-June. My first pickup truck and I can't wait. R1S on order too. Probably a couple of years away, but staying ahead takes planning. Great Review!
Rivian without a doubt is the truck for me.

Crazy how they say 100k trucks when my raptor was 63k and my trx was 86k.
This video is very creative 🔥
I'd pick anything but the rivian tbh at least I can keep those vehicles for over 20 years it won't lose a fortune on resale value when my battery is go also people think EVS are cheaper to maintain when they're not
After 150k miles the raptor and text gas spent will be as much as R1T replacement in batteries. True less maintenance we hope. I take the TRX well maintained that big engine will go the 300k miles easily and still sound awesome.
With a supercharger? Don’t know about easily.
I’m a Ford guy who loves his new F150. But that Rivian checks every single box ever
I loved how you said the raptor and trx are clinging on to a world we once knew, a world that's fading away into irrelevance
😳THIS HOST IS FUKCING GOOD 👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice video and interesting comparison! You might need to add an extra chapter soon in this video with the Ford F150 lightning!

As impressive as the Rivian is and even "better" then the TRX/Raptor in many areas. It will never look as both beautiful and aggressive as the 2😍

T-ReX #1, Raptor #2. Being in the middle of the country we don’t have the number of charging stations available like you would need for the EVs. Sure it’s the future, but it’s not the right now.
So, which one will take longer to drive 500/1000 miles one way? How long do you have to stop and recharge the Rivian enroute, while the others are gas up and go? What is the cost for those charging stations, no one ever mentions that in their reviews? I'm not in the market for any of these (I'll stick with my RAM w/Cummins), but I just don't think the Rivian is worthwhile outside of a small circle around it's home base right now...
I wouldn't spend a 100k for any truck..but of the three if I had too, I would pick the Rivian, TRX and then the Raptor in that order...what about the Atlis Work truck?
I don’t think if you are buying a $100,000 truck fuel consumption is the first thing you look at TRX or Raptor u can’t go wrong with any of them 💯💯💯
I think Edmunds is leading us on to the inevitable...Raptor Lightning.
Rivian, that's what I ordered 3.5 years ago. Thought about the TRX, but impractical considering how much I drive.
TRX ALL THE WAY
Already spent my $100k… on a R1T and I’m loving it. I came from owning a guzzler Tundra Crew Cab. Great truck but still no RIVIAN!
Raptor for sure all around best factory truck
Las tres me encantan, pero con mi economía mantener la ram o la raptor va a estar difícil, por eso mejor la Rivian en mi caso
Why did you guys take down this video a few days ago?
I had a trx loved it but 8 mpg I was paying $1000 a month on gas I have a rivian r1t now and boy is it amazing I would never go back to the trx
R1T for me
R1t is my pick. How about R1t vs Ranger Rapter?
“The flower duet” is the name of the opera song for those wondering!!
Except you only tow 100 or less
Miles then charge for an hour and when towing it’s almost the same price as a gas truck towing.
Why no driving footage of the Riv?
I tow distance for track days and camping, electric is pretty much not an option at that point unless you're willing to sacrifice time.
TRX all day.
If I had $100,000 to spend on something fun there are WAY better things you can get than a truck. I'd spend $10k on a jet ski $20k on a side by side. And 25k on a a used truck and trailer. Then with the leftover 45k I could buy....a lot of other stuff.
Ryan ZumMallen is always the life of the party...smoker or no.
I would have to put my money on the Rivian
I’ve just always been a Raptor fan. Rivian is very tempting too though. TRX is cool, but just seems too much for me as a daily driver and would pay a fortune on gas
What happens if you take the Rivian out to the middle of no where and need to charge up? There aren't a lot of charging stations sitting in the middle of the frickin desert. Whereas you can load up another 2-6 cans of gas with the old tech and increase your range by another 500 miles as needed. And finding a gas station in the middle of nowhere is a lot easier than finding a charging station. So if you really want to off-road far out there, you simply can't take the Rivian.
Brilliant, when your battery goes flat on the Rivian can you go and get a jerry can full of electricity to refill it?? No, give me the other 2 every day of the week!
My heart still says TRX, but my brain says Rivian
I've wanted a Raptor for years, and then the TRX came out and OMG; so much WANT!! But now, I would take the Rivian 100%... until my Lightning gets here in 3 months!
Are you that easily distracted?
Trx all day can still add more power and be lightened and it will keep up Just fine with all the new ev’s coming out
This could have been a nice comparison video. Instead it was just talking... How about some actual driving and comparing in different scenarios
They tried to do a video in the style of Hagerty.
Exactly I seen the raptor doing the whoops! Put the rivian on those whoops! Let’s see if the wash boards rattle all the sensors!!!
gen 3 raptor BUT the raptor R when it comes out.. i have a og raptor 6.2L best truck ive owned but its a expensive hobby. maybe the ford lightning in the future
Where you drive these at?
Cybretruck......got my reservation last wk baby🙌
funny 😂 the rivian is to pretty!! how bout it costs over $100,000 !!we're supposed to go green, but most of America can't even afford these vehicles. pushing electric way to fast and hard.if I chose one, it would be the raptor.
The Rivian with Max towing capacity brauns and the most advanced systems that cost the least to fuel Brains.
Today - TRX
Raptor is my choice. Works better, more comfortable, I personally like the looks better (immediate recognition unlike the TRX), and has been refined and certainly improved over the years. TRX next. Love the power and sound, but can't take the abysmal fuel economy and isn't as comfortable as the Ford. Electronics are a little slower as well than the Fords. Rivian a very distant 3rd as all electric is not fitting with my lifestyle and I personally don't care for the styling. I have driven both the Ford and Dodge, not the Rivian though.
I'll take the R1T any day/time. for sure!!!
I've driven the R1T and was disappointed. Yes it is fast and has cool features, but the interior definitely doesn't feel 100K price tag. Raptor at the sticker price is the best of 3.
Rivin is an impressive machine, if battery technology catches up to the point it provides more range than gas, then its over for ICE
