A 2022 Rivian R1T Launch Edition is listed for sale with a 135 kWh "Large" battery and a quad‑motor setup, with 420 horsepower at the rear, 415 horsepower at the front and 908 lb‑ft of combined torque, and the seller describes the truck as "Perfect."
Each wheel on the Rivian R1T is driven by its own permanent‑magnet motor, enabling per‑wheel torque vectoring; prototypes showed the ability to spin wheels independently and to turn within the wheelbase, but that capability was not enabled on customer cars. Rivian introduced the R1T and R1S at the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show and later began customer deliveries from its Normal, Illinois plant.
Rivian offered multiple battery options across the R1T range, with standard packs around 105 kWh or 121 kWh (Standard+) and a Max pack at 149 kWh, while the 135 kWh pack on this truck sits between those offerings. The listing highlights Rivian's focus on high output and off‑road capability in its electric pickup lineup.
