Supposedly, 125 mph...

Top speed?

I am wondering if anyone knows what the top speed of the R1T will be. I know it’s fast 0-60 but will it be governed to only do 120mph? Like most cars

The Rivian R1T top speed is 110 mph according to edmunds

WORLD EXCLUSIVE: We Tested the 2022 Rivian R1T and It's the Quickest and Best-Handling Truck Ever | Edmunds

Edmunds has the first independent test of the all-new, all-electric Rivian R1T Launch Edition truck. We ran the R1T through our usual battery of tests to measure just how well it accelerates, brakes and handles on paved roads. Our test vehicle features four electric motors, one per wheel...

Trying to think of a time when I would want to take an EV truck this heavy over the 100MPH mark... Coming up empty.

I saw a video of one of the early First Mile experiences and he got it up to 129 MPH before coming to his senses. No doubt it could have gone a little faster. Driver and passengers were impressed by the road stability of the vehicle at that speed.

Thinking of many times...

Most AT tires are speed rated in the Q, R, S range. So 100mph, 106 mph, 112 mph. Don’t know that I’ve ever seen one rated over S, but admit I don’t look at that all that close since I never have been much over 75 or 80 in any of the trucks I owned (60 series LC, 80 series LX, g500, or 200 series LX).

What you failed to mention was, that all tire speed ratings are based upon sustaining that speed (rating) for 1 hour consecutively, like in a race for instance. You could never do it on public roads here.

I had no idea! Think of the "watts to freedom" it'd take to sustain 7k lbs over 100mph for an hour.

I have an R1T and it maxes out at 115-16 mph. Came in handy when I had to dust some tailgating Bronco gawker moron.

Which tires did you go with?

 

[Squiggs]

20's

 

[NY_Rob]

^ TY.... How's the road noise from them? I ordered the 20" as well...

 

[NY_Rob]

BYW.. I can't wait to dust a few of the Power Wagon (0-60 in 7.3 sec) knuckle dragger ******* wannabes around here when I get my R1T

Edit: red neck (one word version) is a censored word?

"Woke" up NY Rob! The term is offending to those who don't wear sunscreen when running their two-stroke toys. Although, aside from the electric motor, every other feature I appreciate on the Rivian appeals to that red-neck in me... No 22's on my Rivian! I'll find a way to fit 17's and big, inefficient, low speed rated meats.
