Superb tech, plenty of practicality, and performance levels never seen before in a pickup truck are just some of the reasons why it&#8217;s in such high demand. But one thing that few people have discussed is towing. We know the R1T has an 11,000 lbs towing capacity &#8211; a seriously impressive figure. But how does towing impact range?<\/p>\n<p><em>All-Electric Family<\/em> recently bought an <a href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/rivian\/r1t\/\" data-inline-widget=\"internal-links\" data-type-id=\"1\" data-params=\"%7B%22make_alias%22%3A%22rivian%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22r1t%22%7D\">R1T<\/a>. In their latest video, the family took their R1T and 7,000 lbs Airstream on a 500-mile road trip. Throughout the first leg of the journey, the R1T&#8217;s consumption figures ranged between 1.02 and 1.07 mi\/kWh. The R1T has a 135 kWh battery pack, which means the range was approximately 137-144 miles per charge (again, when pulling 7,000 lbs+).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hence you seem to get around 45% of the <a href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/rivian\/\" data-inline-widget=\"internal-links\" data-type-id=\"2\" data-params=\"%7B%22alias%22%3A%22rivian%22%7D\">Rivian<\/a> R1T&#8217;s 314-mile EPA range when towing upwards of 7,000 lbs. Not too bad, all things considered. Towards the end of the trip, the family headed up a mountain. The R1T comfortably handled the steep incline while pulling the Airstream, however, the range was (unsurprisingly) impacted. Consumption was 0.66 mi\/kWh, meaning the projected range dropped to just under 90 miles for this leg of the journey.<\/p>\n<p>In total, the family stopped to charge 5 times throughout the trip. They spent $76.52 on charging.<\/p>\n<p>What are your thoughts on the R1T? Do you think it&#8217;s a viable option for a long-distance caravan hauler?
