electric pickup truck has multiple drive modes designed to suit different driving situations or driver preferences. This short video from Rivian explains each of those modes.
Aimed at on-road performance, Sport drops the ride height to its lowest setting, sets the suspension to maximum stiffness, and directs most of the power to the rear wheels. It also limits the intervention of stability control and keeps regenerative braking at its standard level.Off-Road Drift is designed for sliding around in the dirt. It turns the stability control off, while maintaining the stiffest suspension setting and a rearward torque bias.
For slower and more technical off-road driving, Off-Road Rock Crawl jacks up the ride height to its tallest 13.5-inch setting, stiffens the suspension, sets regenerative braking on high, and maintains stability control and a default even front/rear torque split.Off-Road Auto keeps the 13.5-inch ride height and stability control and drivetrain settings, but with soft suspension, the standard level of regenerative braking.
The efficiency-focused Conserve mode makes the R1T front-wheel drive, drops the ride height to its lowest setting, and turns up regenerative braking to its highest setting.Finally, Towing mode uses the standard ride height, stiff suspension, highest level of regenerative braking, and switches back to all-wheel drive.
