When comparing the Ford F-150 Lightning and the Rivian R1T, you’ll notice these trucks are made for excitement. With their powerhouse engines and exciting all-electric range, they can make work commutes or weekend excursions exhilarating.
However, if you’re in need of a truck that can easily become part of your fleet, the Ford F-150 Lightning is the way to go. This truck can be equipped with these available jobsite amenities and features:
On the other hand, you’ll notice the Rivian R1T prioritizes its off-roading capabilities. So, while you’ll find various off-road amenities on that truck, it may not be the best companion for your day-to-day routine. However, the Ford’s slew of work features will help you tackle even the most mundane workday.
Since they’re all-electric trucks, you can expect the Ford F-150 Lightning and the Rivian R1T to be convenient on every trip. However, the Ford offers additional convenience in terms of technology, towing, and cargo space.
For starters, the F-150 Lightning equips a 12-inch standard display that can be upgraded to a 15.5-inch portrait display! Its new portrait-style design elevates the cabin and adds to its futuristic appeal. While the Rivian offers an expanded display as well, it’s horizontal. So, your choice lies in your display style preference here.
These two trucks feature frunks (front trunks) for all your recreational gear or work materials. However, the Ford offers more space in its frunk:
With more room and a 400-pound payload in the Mega Power Frunk of the Ford, you’ll have no problem using this drainable and washable compartment for work or for play. The Rivian’s slightly smaller frunk means you may not be able to store all your essentials in this space.
When it comes to towing, both all-electric trucks can keep up with the big dogs. Both models can tow 10,000 pounds easily, but which one offers more trailering technology?
The Ford F-150 Lightning! With an upgrade, towing will get a lot easier in the Ford thanks to these available features:
While the Rivian R1T boasts an impressive towing figure, it doesn’t offer available towing assistance features.
When it comes time to work or to play in Buena Park, Long Beach, or Orange County, you need the best of the best. Thanks to its available work features, convenient technology, more expansive cargo capacity, and towing amenities, we believe the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning is your best fit compared to the Rivian R1T.
