MotorTrend announced today (December 13) that the all-electric Rivian R1T has been named it’s 2022 Truck of the Year. As the first mass-produced electric truck to hit the U.S. market, the Rivian R1T is arguably the most groundbreaking recipient of the “Golden Calipers” in recent history.
“MotorTrend’s 2022 Truck of the Year announcement may be our most significant since 1949,” said MotorTrend Group Head of Editorial, Ed Loh. “The Rivian R1T is a monumental achievement and astonishes with a quality of design, engineering, materials, and technology unmatched in trucks today, while providing a driving experience like that of a high-performance luxury car. As the first all-electric pickup truck to market, the R1T manages to achieve all of this without offending historic truck-buyer sensibilities. For these reasons and more, MotorTrend is honored to name the Rivian R1T our 2022 Truck of the Year.”
