RivianTrackr aims to be the source of all Rivian news and an easy way for owners and future owners to find the information they need easily. I’ve compiled this chart below comparing some Gen 1 and 2 capabilities found throughout Rivian.com. Let’s take a look at some of the differences and similarities.

R1T

Below are all the differences between Gen 1 R1T and Gen 2 R1T. As you can see, many of the numbers remain very similar, but the number that sticks out the most is how the max towing went down for the Dual-Motor AWD with Standard pack. This is most likely due to the new LFP battery on this truck variant. Other noteworthy stats are the water fording height going down and a slightly smaller gear tunnel.

R1S

Similar to the R1T, Gen 1 R1S and Gen 2 R1S also have some differences. Again, the water fording height decreases from that of Gen 1 vehicles. Rear bin storage also decreased, but towing numbers remain in line with no differences.
