Rivian R1T
The R1T is the first vehicle Rivian sold, and was one of the first mass-produced electric pickup trucks available for the public. It is built in Rivian's Normal, Illinois, USA production facility.
Electric drivetrains available for the R1T are dual motor (DM), performance dual motor (PDM), and Quad Motor (QM). Batteries available are the Standard at 105 kW-hr, the Large at 135 kW-hr, and the Max at 180 kW-hr. The vehicle has an air suspension which allows for 6.5 inches (165 mm) of vertical travel. The ground clearance can be as low as 7.9 inches (201 mm) at its lowest street setting, or as high as 14.4 inches (366 mm) on its highest off-road setting.
In addition to the storage room in the bed (with a built-in motorized roll-away cover) there is room under the hood, and in the "Gear Tunnel" between the cab and the rear wheels.

In this video, Marques Brownlee takes us on a tour of a new Rivian EDV built for Amazon's delivery fleet. Since this example is built for Amazon, there are some parts and features that will only appear on this version and not on other fleets, such as the Amazon logo built into the headlights.
