Ford F-150 Raptor R vs. Rivian R1T | Off-Road Comparison Test | Acceleration, Suspension & More 

How would you feel about off-roading in a R1T or other EV? Would you have range anxiety? Let us know in the comments.

Cringed a bit too hard when you used soda. Save us car guys some anxiety and use water next time 😅

Annoying test driver. A soda spill test? Soda? Really...come on.

You lost me at the soda spill.

Spilling your open-top Dr. Pepper all over the place has to be one of the dumbest "tests" I've ever seen...

oh good lord that soda clean up is going to be awful.

Spilling pop all over the interior of two trucks on loan from the manufacturer to test. Ford and Rivian will be thrilled with you guys. Good luck getting future vehicles to test.

Drive the trucks, have fun but the soda test could have been done far more logically (put the cup in a larger container to capture the spilled soda). I want reviews from people with good judgement.

The Diet Coke test actually hurt me to watch. Wtf

Good work, all those expensive electrical components are now soda soaked.

253 dislikes and 1.2k likes, sounds like the soda spill test wasn't the best idea after all 😅

Why would you choose the stiff suspension setting for these conditions? Edit: I was referring to the race where there don't seem to be many big bumps, not the whoops

Imagine if you actually aired down the tires like you should in an offered scenario

Most of these fancy trucks will be used for Mall crawling.

Doing 100mph on a dirt road is insane.

I could not watch the soda in the raptor

Glad to see you back! By far the best photo channel online.

Imagine if you actually took whoops fast like it's intended to

You can explore in a Rivian without range anxiety because the longest unimproved dirt road between services in the lower 48 in this country is 130 miles. The R1T has a 300 mile range. It never ceases to amaze me how many miles people think they drive compared to how many they actually drive.

CHARGE THE RADIO BATTERIES BEFORE MAKING A VIDEO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!! Yes, I am triggered by that damned low battery chirp after years of carrying one.

I like the soda test, that’s some real life stuff right there 😂

You should know this already but the F150 does over the air updates as well so you're not "stuck with the same car once you drive it off the lot"

The Raptor has Over the air updates too.

Have you received your Cybertruck order invitation yet? I really want to see what it can do.

Would airing down the rivian tires helped?

I wheel modified Jeep TJs an JL Wranglers. I have a stock gladiator too. I bought a Rivian R1S and plan to wheel it at Rausch Creek in Pennsylvania eventually (keeping all the jeeps though). The Rivian is amazing on road. Should be fun off road too.

Probably the best use of Diet Dr. Pepper I've ever seen and it still was a bad idea 😊.

Very cool!

The soda test was so silly lol but I LOVE me some Emme Hall!!!!!!!

Flat dry road, just wondering if Rivian had a better mode than rally. Or if rally could be modified: wheel response sensitivity, ride dampening, or a different tire type/size, tire compound/thread type/size. For the spill test, two plastic bottle gravity system like the radiator overflow. Less interior clean-up.

Schmidt's tunnel and the pumice Mines near red Rock canyon. Love those areas

good test

Good video

It doesn't seem you lift the R1T to its max height of 14.5" of ground clearance, which would have changed the game on some tests. The Raptor R has 13".

Soda is sticky mess that will have the detailer presenting you with large bill😢

34" tires on r1t?

It’s funny how the Raptor completed the soda test way faster when you were supposedly going the same speed…

More likely the improvement you're saying through the large moguls at slow speed was because of the wheelbase length. Test on a wash board or at faster speeds.

She should do cleaning up afterwards the soda test. I believe that the Rivian is easier to clean afterwards.

It'd be cool to have a Daryl cameo!

in 25000 miles of roadtrips using both CCS and NACS I have never experienced a situation with all charging points at a station down. Additionally all charging stations are remotely monitored and repair tickets are issued rapidly. This is simply put an anomalies hypothetical.

I actually like my Scorpion tires yes they have less grip in certian situaltions but in most that i drive they do very well,

Welcome back Emme!! 🙌

Is be sooooooooo ticked off if you got Dr. Pepper all over my truck!

1:57 That Honda Ridgeline sure is fast.

Looking forward to comparison with the CyberTruck (Beast). In Baja mode of course. Great comparison btw.

I'm sure there's no range anxiety out in the middle of nowhere as long as your crew has a backup generator trailing you.

So there are no over-the-air updates for the Raptor?

She's awesome!!!!!

The Raptor, being front- heavy, might actually be more stable at high speed than the Rivian, which is more weight- central.

You could've just used water... that soda thing was the stupidest thing I've seen in a really long time.

So asking the experts, doesn't off-roading usually accompany break fix scenarios? Because I'm reading the insurance claims for EV are kind of insane. Not that a broken Raptor is a cheap thing, just under the impression EV have a way to go for everyday damage repair.

But which one will navigate the Whole Foods parking lot best?

Try to do that samething with cybertruck

R1T is body on frame as well. Not sure why that was pointed out on the raptor only?

I'm watching this again 😉

Rivian vs Lighting??

Misleading to say the Raptor R won the acceleration test when the Rivian won in 0-60 and 1/4 mile. Winning two out of the three acceleration measurements means the Rivian won the acceleration test!

I couldnt stop laughing at the DDP going everywhere hahahahaha

I'm calling BS on the slow speed test. The lame reviewer didnt even specify which mode the Raptor R was in. I bet they kept it in Sport Mode to BS the results.

You needed to try the Rivian with more stability control on the dirt. Taking the stability down didn’t help. Also i would have tried it in all purpose mode.

❤ fun review 😂

I stopped when the soda came out sorry. We can see water clear enough and then I'd still ask why. If the cup holder isn't good enough complain about that kind of spillage, not by holding it down? Not. I held my open top sugar drink above the console to see how much I can spill on it. Maybe with old worm trucks. The suspensions are made for taking the bumps. The interior isn't made to withstand drinks.

Let's see em chase for Baja 😂 where's the charger station in ensenada?

Grandma likes to play! 😎4x4

The Raptor R as well as most of the F-150 line up also has OTAs since the 2021 model year...

Good video but I cringed on the Dr. Pepper test. Water would have been bad enough but spilling something sticking intentionally in any vehicle is like a nails on chalkboard moment for me. 😁

If you take that Rivian over RAPTOR R in the Mohave desert where it's in its element then you need your head examined. Oh....the soda test as you know didn't go well here. Other than that it was interesting.

“I think it will be very close I don’t know what will happen here” Hmmm…

The soda test WAS stupid, but remember, folks, it ain't got no sugar as it's DIET.

Emme Hall is great!

Can't believe you spilled Cola all over the interiors of those trucks.

Rivian would break in half if you took those whoops at 100 mph like the Raptor can.

It's hard to watch the soda test but at the same time, I like it.

Just because a truck has 24 inches of clearance between the top of the tire and the fender liner does not mean it has 24 inches of actual wheel travel. I seriously doubt the stock Ford suspension has anywhere near two feet of suspension travel. I would guess it's closer to ten inches between the suspension snubber and the frame in the front and 14 inches before the snubber hits the frame in the rear. The extra space above the tire is just for show. If the tire won't go up that high, there's no functional reason for it.

Mega Monkey Emme Hall never disappoints!

Is this for real with the splashing of soda all over the inside of new cars? Liked the video otherwise.

Test the Ranger raptor traction control

I hate to say it, if you have either a 6-figure gas truck or a $70-80k electric truck to choose from, id take the more affordable one with less offroad credentials. I hate having a super quiet "is it even on?" vehicle, but more so, a brand new one that gets worse mpgs than my familys '04 durango (13-14 mixed) and ridiculously spendy. The rivian does have some neat features not mentioned, but no modern (mass produced) vehicle is actually worth more than $50k, special feature, "innovative" powertrain, or not. Just my $0.02. :)

No New Team Members Needed Especially A Overwhelmed Non Driver

4H @ 107mph on raptor? Didn’t know you could push 4H that much

Zr2 Silverado vs Tremor vs Trd pro tundra

The disrespect of having open containers in those two ….

Id take that Raptor R everyday of the week 😂

There's gonna come a time? Of course in the next 7-10 years as technology and infrastructures advance. Gonna take a few more years

The Speedo didn't say 25 on that rivan

Really soda all over a new truck !! Also spinned spinned spinned ?? Try SPUN for past tense !!

Sadly the R1T and the R1S both have less rear leg room than the Mach E, and about 6 inches less rear leg room than the F150 lightning

I woulda used water instead of soda but yk to each their own

Spilling an XL size soda all over your pickup truck while driving on a Dirt road might be the most stereotypical American thing ever. Most of us don't keep it open like that though, we cover it with a lid and use a straw, especially when we're driving. Could've used water to prove your point instead of ruining 2 beautiful trucks.

The difference is one is an actual truck and the other is a toy car with a partial truck body. I would take a Raptor R over 2 Rivians.

Love it. Good review.

You put a dent in that RT it will cost you 30 grand to fix, LOL

I still have range anxiety with the electric trucks. We'll see what solid state batteries can do before I'm willing to bite.

why use coke and get it all sticky? use water, so it won't leave a mark when it dries?

That's it, that's what I feel the f150 does and the Silverado just does it a little better though, they both take air, but the Silverado does it by just dampening the wheel drop when going over an indentation at a certain speed to avoid lateral hits from the other side of the holes, where as the f150 seems to actually take off in your video 😅, I am comparing with the Silverado because that is what we have at work. The ram however, it feels like the wheels just want to spring down no matter the speed and they get caught down there and we backwards hit on the suspension due to speed and we all know suspensions are not designed to give forward or backwards. Those trucks must be really sticky after getting soda all over the place

fun fact: diet soda doesn't leave sticky residue when dry.

i want to see the rivian jump!

I feel bad of myself having a raptor and you have to choke the rivian lifting the throttle and using worst tires to make the raptor not look so bad. I will sell it, the rivian with 37s it is far better

Soda? Seriously, what a dumb idea! At the end, this sounded like a sales pitch for Rivian and for EV sales.
