R1T : Gen 1 vs Gen 2... worth it?

[Electrified Outdoors]

This will be highly subjective. I would say it depends…

1) How much will it cost to upgrade? E.g. loss on the trade, cost of new vehicle, taxes, etc
2) The benefits are especially in the Rivian Autonomy platform (I have a review video coming soon, the adaptive lighting is really cool too (I also have some video footage of this coming soon), the ride is more refined, the cameras are higher res so dash cam and blind spot cameras are more usable, it does have a meat pump so should be a bit more efficient.

With all that said, the first generation is still an awesome vehicle and if you are a price conscious shopper, gen 1 is an awesome deal. Also with gen 1 it’s an exceptional value for the HP/Torque and quad motor setup. To get equivalent performance on gen 2 your into six figures.

only you can answer whether or not you feel the additional features are worth the cost. If you have the budget for it, then I don’t think you would be disappointed.

Definitely no.

I’m seriously confused how you’d save money. Can you elaborate?

I wouldn't with the R1T since the length is longer and the suspension isn't as bad as the G1 R1S that I have.

I owe gen 1 2024 quad. Test drove a gen2 tri, and would not swap my truck. Love my quad . I’ll wait to test drive the gen 2 quad.
I’m just in love with my quad.

I didn’t know Gen 2 had a meat pump, so I guess it would really depend on on how much meat you like to eat meat ….

stupid iPhone auto correct. Heat pump turned into meat pump? Is there any such thing?

my dad was a meat cutters apprentice back in the 1960s! He was not a sausage maker …that’s an art all to itself. No meat jokes folks
