Tacoma Vs. Rivian

Clearly there is no comparison on performance specs. But I'll be damned if a good Tacoma build doesn't blow away the Rivian in the looks department.



Discuss....

 

I personally think the Rivian looks cooler

 

For sure.
Wouldn't see me driving one of those things.

 

Have to agree here!

 

Does the Rivian down/upshift every five seconds? If not, that’s my pick.

 

The 2022 appears to be significantly better in that department.

 

I love the looks/specs of the Rivian. However, I can probably add only 5 - 10 mods to it. Now, the Taco...I can add 7 million mods to it. The Taco wins that battle, because I can make it highly customized to fit my personality and taste.

Oh yeah, and the price is 40% less than the Rivian. Money is always a huge factor when making purchasing decisions.

 

Have you been drinking already this morning?
That Rivian is one ugly duckling…..

 

perhaps, but the 6 sp is dated, where everything else is 8-10 speed gear boxes now.

 

I can see why Rivian made the front end so recognizably different but I’m not a big fan. Still a better truck than a Tacoma in every way but unfortunately looks a little fucky.

 

Get a tune?

 

Fugly

 

I thought the Rivian looked good in all their scenic marketing. But seeing it amongst the crowd of everything else, it suddenly looks much uglier.

 

We know a 6 speed auto is dated, this is year 7 of current Tacoma design. New model in 2024.

 

Wut??

 

Sorry, every way other than range and initial price. More power, more payload, more towing capacity, lower maintenance costs, far lower operating costs, better offroad performance, better onroad comfort, better interior - the list could probably go on.

 

I had the opportunity to drive one. Holy sheet! No 5000+ pound vehicle should be able to bend the laws of physics like it does.

 

Looks like an emoji in 2D and like a refrigerator that escaped the kitchen in real D.
