Rivian R1T is More Loved than Ford Trucks, Strategic Vision's Most Loved Vehicle Awards Explains Why

https://www.prnewswire.com/news-rel...ed-vehicle-awards-explains-why-301746019.html

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Rivian R1T ranks above all electric and gas-powered pickups as the most Loved truck in America. The answer to why is detailed in Strategic Vision's annual Most Loved Vehicles™ (MLV), which examines 118 different vehicle attributes and features measured on a unique scale that captures the "top box" experiences owners Love. Strategic Vision's President and industry spokesman Alexander Edwards breaks down how this research explains the R1T's success; "The R1T generated more love with truck owners, including very competitive Ford models, often where it counts. For example, owners rated the R1T better than the F-150 and F-150 Lighting in Towing Capacity. The R1T also generated more love in all Ford truck models, including the F-250, in other important attributes such as Acceleration from Stop, Passing Capability, Off-Road Capability, Ground Clearance, Level of Standard Equipment, and Quality of Interior Materials."

Strategic Vision is the only research company in the world that provides large-scale, comprehensive research using detailed attribute study measurements from a seven-point super-ordinal scale that uses words and phrases from the natural language expressed by consumers as they describe how they feel about an experience. Christopher Chaney, Senior Vice President of Strategic Vision, explains the benefits of the deeper research conducted by Strategic Vision, "When people use words such as 'hate,' 'satisfied,' and 'love,' they express the emotional impact of a rational experience. Scales that only judge 'satisfaction' miss the full extent of the experience. 'Love' leads to loyalty and advocacy and that is what we measure," says Chaney. "Failing to measure Love misses the traits which create loyalty, missing future sales. If Love were properly measured and applied to the very first Apple iPhone experiences, Blackberry and others would probably not have lost many billions of dollars in market share to Apple," concludes Chaney.

EV makers, government agencies and Wall Street can all learn lessons from studying the Most Loved Vehicles and take notes from the success of the customer experience like Rivian and the other leaders. "With current economic struggles, close attention should be paid to what vehicle younger buyers Love and can afford to purchase, such as the Hyundai Kona and how it provides owners with a small wealth of impactful features," remarks Strategic Vision analyst, Ryan Ruiz. "Understanding why the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport elicits the feelings it does will help automotive manufacturers communicate more effectively to potential future customers resulting in increased sales, market share, and stock value," concludes Ruiz.

Further findings from Strategic Vision's latest research bore the following results. Kia found success with the K5, Stinger, and Carnival as they are category leaders in 2023. The Kia Stinger was also the Most Loved mass-market vehicle among both African and Latin Americans. The BMW 4-Series Gran Coupe and BMW 2-Series Gran Coupe tied with the Infiniti QX50 as leaders among the same categories in their respective segments. Other highlights include the Mercedes-Benz GLE as the Most Loved luxury SUV/CUV. The Porsche 911 and Bentley Continental were statistically tied for the Most Loved Vehicle in their segment.

I agree with the survey, that is, I love my R1T, but let me point out that "most loved" depends a lot on perception rather than facts. Jeep owners, for example, really love their vehicles even though they have very poor reliability ratings. So "most loved" doesn't really equate to "best" in any particular category. I think it's a valid metric though, because it's saying that people really like their Rivian despite any problems they might be having. Sort of like marriage - overall I love my wife, but ...

What'll you take in trade for the T-Bird? Asking for a friend...
The Peacock '56 is Norman T. Bird. We have had him since 1986. He would probably not be for sale for any price.

I think Rivian should get you yours for being one of the most patient. 😉
I agree. I wish that you were in charge at Rivian.

Brian,

It does my heart good to hear you say that. If things turn bad for you, please just don't go all Thelma and Louise on us! I cried my eyes out as their T-Bird went flying off the cliff and soaring into the Grand Canyon.

If you do decide to go out that way, please go to Enterprise and rent a Sonata....with full coverage. I'd be more than happy to give Norman a great home. Um, I mean my friend would...

@moosetags Opt for the Hyundai Kona, at least you'll feel young when you go over.

Where've you been @DuckTruck ?! You've missed all the action!

I've been exploring a bit and lost touch with these forums, along with the news, in general. It's a big world out there and I hope everyone gets a chance to see it, but it's great to be home, and back here in this community. Hope to catch up soo....in the near future.

Any headlines you can point me towards to help shorten the learning curve? Love the stories of all those here who now have their Rivians!

Rent a mitsubishi outlander or hyundai kona so the survey will get skewed.
