Tacoma (4Runner) TRD Pro vs. Rivian R1T (R1S) EV off-road comparison

[E.T.]

This is a Tacoma vs. R1T comparison, but basically tells us how the 6th gen 4Runner will do versus the Rivian R1S as well. It's an impressive showing by Toyota.



Description: In our latest comparison test, we head off-road in the Rivian R1T and Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro to see if hybrid power or a fully electric setup is better when the going gets tough. We put the all-electric refreshed-for-2025 R1T, in the more affordable dual-motor setup, and a hybrid-powered Tacoma TRD Pro to the test climbing hills, rock crawling, putting down power and more. Check out our video to see which one comes out on top when the pavement ends.

Impressive showing by the TRD Pro. What a weird final take -- that she'd pick a Rivian model that's even more expensive and not used in this comparison.
