Rivian R1T pickup reportedly gets GM-Amazon investment

The Rivian R1T is about the same length as a Chevy Colorado mid-size pickup. With its batteries in the floor, however, it adds storage in the "frunk" as well as space behind the rear seats and under the bed.

The interior of the Rivian R1T pickup featues big, digital screens and generous use of wood trim. In addition to 400 miles of range the truck offers Level 3 autonomous driving.

With its battery in the floor like a Tesla Model X SUV, the Rivian R1T boasts 12 cubic feet of storage space up front where a pickup's engine would normally be found.

The Rivian R1T pickup and sister R1S SUV wowed the LA auto show last fall. The company is based in Plymouth, Mich. with a manufacturing plant in Normal, Ill.

The specs of the Rivian R1T pickup are impressive, from its 3.0-second zero-60 dash to its 11,000-pound tow capacity.

In addition to the Rivian R1T pickup, the Plymouth-based company plans an R1S SUV on the same skateboard, electric platform. The prototype was shown alongside the pickup at the LA auto show.
