Especially the Rivian R1T, the one that seems to be closer to the production lines. What about being in a list of pickups you have to consider buying one year from now? This is what the R1T managed to do.
The guys from the Automotive Territory YouTube channel listed the future electric pickup truck among very well-established nameplates, such as the Ford Super Duty with Tremor Package, the fourth-generation Chevrolet Silverado, the Toyota Tacoma, and the next-generation Ford F-150.
