In off-road mode, the Rivian R1T (Pickup Truck) and R1S (SUV) both have a water-fording depth of 42.7 inches. While off-road, the 14.2 inches of ground clearance, thanks in large part it's the height-adjustable air suspension, make both models very capable! Do keep in mind the 14.5 inches of ground clearance is based on a 275/65R20 tire. Also, other key facts like the 34.8º/ 34.3º approach/departure angle and 28.9º breakover angle have to be mentioned for those planning to take on challenging conditions.
BONUS: I have a feeling Rivian will sell a Raptorized Rivian some day so feel free to throw in specs that would be ideal for you.

Rivian has released this coloring/sketchbook to help us pass the time during the pandemic. You'll be able to color/design your own R1S and R1T.

Toyota 4Runner. I love the thing. Partially because it's old fashioned. It's a bit old now, so I might keep it even when I pick up my Rivian. Sort of like a classic car... haha.
In July will be the third annual 80 edays trip around the world. It's a trip around the world with electric cars that starts and ends in Spain (July 11 - November 1 2020)
I'd love to see the R1S or R1T take part in this race next year. From the looks of their website it seems that most of their...
