In a showdown of electric titans, MotorTrend Channel pits the Tesla Cybertruck against the Ford F-150 Lightning and the Rivan R1T. The Cybertruck, with its futuristic design and a price tag of $82,235, faces off against the $71,700 Rivan R1T and the $94,500 Ford F-150 Lightning Platinum. Testing reveals the Cybertruck's impressive acceleration, braking, and cornering performance, showcasing its potential in the electric truck market. However, issues with panel alignment and cleanliness raise concerns about Tesla's build quality.
Behind the wheel, the team experiences the Cybertruck's video game-like highway prowess, the Rivan's agile handling, and the F-150's traditional truck feel. Range testing exposes all three trucks falling short of their EPA estimates, with towing significantly impacting real-world range. The Cybertruck's stark and unfinished interior design stands out compared to the more polished interiors of the Ford and Rivan, reflecting Tesla's minimalistic approach taken to the extreme.
The Cybertruck's unconventional infotainment system, steer-by-wire technology, and unique controls present both challenges and novelties for the drivers. Off-road testing highlights the Rivan's specialized capabilities, the Cybertruck's potential with upcoming features, and the F-150's surprising performance. After extensive evaluation, the team ranks the F-150 in third place for its comfort, the Cybertruck in second due to design compromises, and crowns the Rivan R1T as the winner for its well-rounded performance in this electrifying truck face-off.
