A second generation of Rivian’s tough all-wheel-drive SUVs and pickup trucks is scheduled to arrive in 2025. Rivian focuses on providing outdoor enthusiasts with totally electric cars. With a remarkable combined MPGe rating of 87, the 2025 Dual Max with 22-inch tires is the most economical version of the forward-thinking automaker’s R1T, which is the most efficient pickup truck on the market in the US. With a 420-mile range on a single charge and a ten-mile advantage over its SUV equivalent, the 2025 R1S Dual Max, the dual-motor setup with the giant battery pack also offers the longest range of any Rivian model.
All pickups sold in the United States are ranked according to their fuel economy on the Environmental Protection Agency’s fueleconomy.com website. Fully electric pickups are ranked highest due to their superior combined MPGe ratings, which are significantly higher than the corresponding combined MPG ratings of gas-burning pickups. The top twenty-eight slots in the ranking are now occupied by various 2024 and 2025 R1T configurations, with two 2025 Dual Max variants at the top. Following the twenty-eight R1T models, which have cumulative MPGe ratings ranging from 87 to 72, are two Ford F-150 Lightning 4WD variations with ratings of 70. With a combined MPG rating of 47, a GMC giant hummer version is the least efficient completely electric truck. A Ford Maverick hybrid comes in second with a combined MPG rating of 37. With total MPG ratings of 16 or lower, 48 pickup vehicles are at the bottom of the list; the lowest of these models can only get 12 miles per gallon.
The EPA’s pickup truck ranking includes an incredibly high number of R1T models, and the variety of entries is quite simple to comprehend. R1Ts from two model years are on the current list, and Rivian provides a wide range of choices that impact the pickup’s fuel efficiency. The R1T may be set up with two, three, or four motors, three different battery packs, a high-performance software upgrade, and several tire sizes, but it is only available as an all-wheel drive. The ranking seems to cover every possible combination of options available over two generations of R1Ts, and each of these options has the ability to change fuel economy.
Rivian’s careful marketing approach is reflected in the EPA’s comprehensive list of R1T models. Beginning as a very capable off-road pickup, the basic R1T offers adventurous drivers a variety of options to enhance features that are significant to them. The dual-motor R1T can travel 420 miles when paired with a giant 141.5-kWh battery pack; however, the same drivetrain can also be used with a standard 92.5-kWh pack that can travel 270 miles or a large 109.4-kWh pack that can travel 330 miles. The base R1T’s horsepower increases from 553 to 665 when the high-performance option is added. Adding a fourth engine boosts horsepower to 1050, while upgrading to a three-motor powertrain increases horsepower even more to 850.
Climate change-conscious pickup enthusiasts will naturally choose the most efficient variants, but everyone can feel free to overlook small differences in electric fuel efficiency while personalizing their Rivian pickup. When they replace comparable gas-burning trucks, all R1Ts will produce significant emission reductions, providing significant environmental advantages.
