I Towed 8,000 lbs With a Rivian… Range DROPPED to THIS?!

I traded my diesel truck for a 2022 Rivian R1T… but can it actually do truck things? Today we’re putting it to the test by towing a heavy trailer AND a car to see if this electric truck is the real deal — or a huge mistake. On paper, the Rivian R1T is insanely powerful… but towing is where EVs usually fall apart. Range drops, charging gets complicated, and real-world performance can be VERY different from what manufacturers claim. So I hooked up a trailer, loaded it down, and hit the road to find out: 👉 Can the Rivian actually replace a diesel work truck? 👉 How bad is the range while towing? 👉 Is this the dumbest trade I’ve ever made… or the best?
