Rivian R1T vs Ford F150 Lightning Tug of War / Guess Who Wins?

What's going on EV fam? Today we have something a little fun. In fact, we finally have footage of an F-150 Lightning going up against a Rivian R1T in a classic tug-of-war match. We already know electric trucks have incredible torque and power. Now, range on the other hand is a whole other issue. But for torque, EV trucks are killing it. If you were to pair an electric truck up against a traditional V8, we all know what would happen in a friendly match of truck tug-of-war. The electric trucks win every time because of their giant torque numbers. But what happens when two of the biggest brands in the electric truck game go head-to-head on their own tug-of-war? Well, we finally got to see it. An F-150 Lightning matched up against a Rivian R1T for a tug-of-war death match. Well, not death, but you get the point. And the results, well, they're surprising to say the least. Check out this video from Tesla Raj on Twitter, who shared this recent EV tug-of-war match against a Rivian and the F-150 Lightning. I saw two things that immediately caught my attention on why the Rivian won. If you notice right here, the R1T has an aggressive all-terrain tire, the Pirelli Scorpion ATR Plus in a 275-60R20 sizing. Now, on the other hand, the F-150 Lightning has the General Grabber HTS, a much more modest all-season tire, not all-terrain, with visually less traction capabilities. Also, we should mention here, the Rivian comes with a claimed 908 foot-pound of torque and the Lightning with a lesser 775 foot-pound of torque. Now, I'm not picking sides, just pointing out some nuances that do affect the outcome. Anyway, guys, just wanted to share that with you. That's all I got for today and we'll see you on the next one. Oh, and you still haven't subscribed yet. Why not?
