Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum towing capacity of the Rivian R1T?
The Rivian R1T has a maximum towing capacity of 11,000 pounds (4,990 kg) across all model years and battery configurations when properly equipped. This rating applies to braked trailers and assumes optimal conditions.
How does battery size affect towing capacity?
While both Large and Max Pack configurations have the same maximum towing capacity, the Max Pack provides extended range while towing. Towing significantly reduces electric vehicle range, so the larger battery helps maintain practical driving distances when hauling heavy loads.
What factors reduce my effective towing capacity?
Several factors can reduce your effective towing capacity: additional cargo weight in the vehicle, passenger weight, steep terrain, extreme temperatures, high altitude, trailer aerodynamics, and tire condition. Our calculator accounts for these variables to provide a realistic towing capacity estimate.
Do I need a special license to tow with the Rivian R1T?
License requirements vary by country and sometimes by state/province. In most US states, a standard driver’s license is sufficient for towing up to 11,000 lbs. In the UK, you may need an additional entitlement for heavier trailers. Always check local regulations before towing.
How does towing affect the R1T’s electric range?
Towing can reduce electric range by 30-50% depending on load weight, aerodynamics, terrain, and speed. The Max Pack battery helps mitigate this reduction. Rivian’s Trip Planner feature can help estimate range while towing and locate charging stations along your route.
