Rivian Towing Capacity: We plan to utilize our R1T to haul the Airstream Travel Trailer. We believe that this could be possible, however, there are many considerations.
Our Airstream weighs 7,000lbs. This is in line with Rivian’s capacity.
One of the Achilles’ Heels in the Rivian’s capabilities to tow is the capacity to the payload. The maximum payload is 1,760pounds.
If the R1T comes with an off-road feature this adds quite an amount of weight and lowers the payload to 1,420lbs.
Rivin R1T Performance and Range
Three sizes of batteries are available in the form of one hundred and thirty-five 180 kWh.
The range is expected to begin at 300 miles on the (late availability) smallest battery and 314 miles when using the larger battery and over 400 miles in the biggest battery.
The truck is equipped with four motors with electric motors, one located at each wheel.
Our Rivian tester equipped with a medium-sized battery generated 835 hp and 908 pounds of torque. According to Rivian the truck’s specifications, it can go from 0-60 at a speed of 3.0 seconds.
Rivian Towing Capacities
Rivian’s R1S features a capacity for a tongue weight of 810 pounds according to the Rivian Owner’s Forum. What that means is that out of 7,700 pounds,
the R1S is able to tow, 810 pounds can be placed on the tongue or the portion that connects the trailer to the vehicle.
The remainder of the 7,700 pounds must be placed on the trailer’s wheels. Another thing you need to keep in mind is if you’re towing at the maximum weight of 7,700lbs,
you must calculate the 810 pounds at the end of the tongue into the vehicle’s payload weight capacity, as that’s the amount of weight that will be on the car.
Although the payload capability of R1S is 1,800 pounds, in the event that you tow 7,700 pounds, you’d only carry 990 pounds of cargo and passengers inside the vehicle.

Can a Rivian truck tow a boat?
Tom notes that while the Rivian can’t tow nearly as much as a heavy-duty truck, 11,000 pounds is about as much as he’d ever really need to tow, and that may prove true for many owners. The power response is impressive, even up hills, and Tom says the regen braking makes him feel very safe.
