"After 28,000 miles, the electric pickup is still in great shape, but some unexpected problems had to be fixed. Rivian's second-generation R1T electric pickup has many improvements compared to the old model, even though it might not look like it from the outside. That's because most of the upgrades happened under the skin, where new motors, new hardware and better software were implemented."
"Wilkerson paid roughly $107,000 for the truck last year, but if he were to trade it in right now, the market value is around $74,000, according to Rivian. The owner uses the EV for his real estate photography business. It's a job that often requires him to travel between 200 and 300 miles every day, so the odometer has already passed the 28,000-mile mark."
"On his previous R1T, the owner counted no fewer than 13 issues, but they were all fixed by Rivian's service centers. The 2025 R1T has performed better so far, but it's not without fault. The first issue that popped up had to do with the tire pressure sensors, and the car spent about three weeks at a service center to get a fix. It's better now, but the problem still comes back sporadically because, as the owner says, there's radio frequency interference"
The 2025 Rivian R1T includes extensive under-the-skin upgrades: new motors, updated hardware, and improved software. The owner upgraded from a first-generation quad-motor R1T to a second-generation tri-motor R1T with the Max battery rated at 371 miles. Purchase price was roughly $107,000; current trade-in market value is about $74,000. The truck accumulated over 28,000 miles while supporting a real estate photography business, often driving 200–300 miles daily. The air suspension and seats provide a comfortable ride. The first-gen R1T required at least 13 service fixes; the 2025 R1T has performed better but experienced recurring issues with tire-pressure sensors and radio-frequency interference.
