How Factors Affect Your Towing Capacity
Vehicle Model & Battery
The Rivian R1T typically has a higher base towing capacity than the R1S. Max Pack batteries provide extended range but don't significantly increase towing capacity over Large Pack batteries.
Drive Mode & Terrain
Tow Mode optimizes power delivery for towing. Hilly or mountainous terrain reduces effective towing capacity due to increased strain on the powertrain and battery.
Environmental Factors
High temperatures can reduce battery efficiency, while high elevations decrease motor performance due to thinner air, both impacting towing capacity.
