Absolutely agree. It was an ommision I can forgive though, as most enthusiasts are already familiar with that niche feature. I personally love it. Rivian made a fantastic truck and it would definitely be my choice from the 3.

Great review of three amazing trucks. I much prefer these faster / shorter videos.

My Lightning and Rivian orders came within a month of each other (Rivian first). My previous truck was a Lariat F-150, which I loved. If I was looking for a work vehicle or had to seat 5 people comfortably, I’d have gone with the Lightning. But I’m mostly an off-roader with 4 seats needed, and the R1T was the direct design for that. It’s like a larger version of the offroad lifted Tacoma I had, but much better daily driver. Both of these EV vehicles are great. Some of the differences are a bit more nuanced than folks tend to describe. I am finding the Rivian hauls anything I need (plywood, mulch, etc.) and the Lightning seemed like a better offroad vehicle than my Lariat was. If I was a construction contractor I’d go with the Lightning. Since I’m a hydrologist working a lot in wilderness, I went with the Rivian. But either can work for both of those types of owners. No comment on the Cybertruck. My wife vetoed it based on aesthetics. Regarding charging networks, yes Tesla is the best. But I haven’t had any major issues road-tripping the Rivian - been across 6 southern states with it so far and just ran a 1500 mile circuit through FL in 4 days for a series of business trips away from home without any problems. So, I think that’s also a nuanced difference. Just get the vehicle that feels best for you. For me, it’s the R1T.

Thank you so much for the brevity. I wish all your videos were this format. Excellent review. You presented the facts without drama and an overload of negativity and criticism. I definitely prefer this style of video.

Have had my lighting Lariat for over a year. Still love it every day I get in! Charge at home and have never had an issue. Putting my tools in the frunk is fantastic.

It's nice that each of these trucks are awesome in different ways. You really did an outstanding job of zooming through this comparison. It's definitely much more interesting than the typical ICE Ford vs GM vs Ram and Toyota.

The 14-30 is more like the gas generator that the Ford Pro Power system is designed to replace, so I think it is a better fit for the design use case.

Almost hit it with it in the shop due to a 33 day battery, lightbar, and steering wheel upgrade/recall repair(we had no apparent range, battery, or lightbar issues). Hopefully, this will be it for awhile. Form factor for us, it's the best. We'll be working on an overland upgrade to it, and an overland trailer with about 3kW of panels, and 20kW of batteries, so with good sun, we'll be able to put probably 40 miles per day into it.

I got almost 30k miles on my R1T bed cover still works 😊 good comparison. I agree to live with one I would have to choose R1T. I had a lighting at the same time did a video comparison and ended up with keeping the rivian. Family of 3 keep in mind is perfect. We all love it. Thnaks for this video real champ getting it done soo quick. No cuts lol

Excellent overview!

Based on looks alone, it would be the Rivian or Lightning for me. If it came down to one choice it would be the Lightning based on brand recognition alone. Not taking anything from the Rivian. The Cybertruck is not only ugly but it's useless as a pickup as anything I can think of.

I love my lightning, my best car/truck even, the utility and comfort are WOW, I had 2 model S before (huge bug with motor noise) and I dont use my second car Model 3 AWD any more.

Great, honest review!!!

Nailed this video guys!!!

Also of note, Lightnings are now coming with a 14-50 adapter for the 14-30R plug, but you have to either use something with a max 30A draw, or back down the draw on the device to 30a. When ordered, the mobile charger on the Lightning is 30A (as opposed to the 32A MPC that comes with Mach E) to accommodate EV charging off that adapter.

I mentioned her that I would trade in my current truck for lighting and states that she would keep my current truck then I could get the lighting. Coming from my wife who is very picky and be happy driving the f-150 and Ovell all driving from Highland CA to San Francisco with no problem and is super comfortable, hands down get me a Ford lighting.

cybertruck has more cargo space, more cabin space than the f150 lightning, yet smaller vehicle. benefits of better space efficient engineering.

Here's some food for thought. Ford brought the Lightning to market nearly two years ago. Despite all the advances since then, it is still a very serviceable vehicle. The ground-up-design Lighting with better range, better towing capability and better upgradeability is set to begin production in late 2025. What do you think Ford will do with the experience and technical advancements between now and then?

Great side by side comparison.

Congrats on 200k

I am interested to see what the electric pickup options/specs will be in 5 - 10 years. The batteries should be way better by then and hopefully chargers will be much faster as well. I feel like I'd want around 600mi real-world range in a pickup, which should be totally doable in 10 years without increasing the battery weight at all. Right now the CT seems the most practical to me. It's a paradigm shift to have a pickup that has the maneuverability and acceleration of a sports car, yet with 16"+ of clearance, and you can bash it all day with a sledgehammer and do no damage. Spacious cab and bed to boot. I'm imagining being able to hide a winch in the frunk with a cutout in the hood for the rollers, and gear boxes on either side of the winch for your towing/winching gear. Your winch and cables would all be kept nice and dry in there, and it wouldn't change the aerodynamics or approach angle.

We have a Ford XLT which has become our daily driver. Been great, though Ford needs to work on their software and accessory/parts support.

Great review, this helped me to pick the Ford F150 as it is the most practical truck of the 3.

One more thing worthy of mention on the Rivian, it has a storage compartment which runs from one side of the truck to the other.

Also worth noting that getting anything out of the Cybertrucks bed from the side is a major pain unless you’re 6’2 or taller.

As a Rivian owner, I use my front trunk all the time, it fits two carry one and a couple little items, with the lid floor in. You’d really have to be soft to not be able to lift items into it. F150 Frunk looks great, Cybertruck looks like stuff will fall out. Cybertruck looks smaller in the back of the cab than the Rivian, contrary to the commentary, have to see one in person to know I guess.

Great review of three great electric trucks. ..... Everybody's saying how they love how the R1T looks now, but I remember how polarizing the front headlights were. Now they seem normal. Wonder if everyone will get use to the looks of the Cybertruck? As for who has the charging advantage, I would say the Cybertruck, because it has full access to the reliable Supercharging network.

There were many details that were very interesting, and seemed honest. I also think that it was fine and honest to say that he likes the Rivian best as his all round car, even though he had some criticisms to make of it. But it was like there was a block or a wall, preventing him from allowing himself to like the cyber truck more than his Rivian. a few times he sounded like he was making a criticism of the cyber drop but then said oh no this is actually the same or better. He also praised the cyber truck and it seemed like he really liked the interior and the space in the cyber truck. There seemed to be an excitement in his voice when he was talking about individual things about the cyber truck, but it was like even though he kept on saying the cyber truck is better in this way, I’m better in that way it has more space and has more room and more people etc. etc. he always seemed to hit that wall. Also a lot of criticisms that he had that were quite valid are going to be fixed or improved with software updates like the 350 max charging rate, and, the self driving software. He said he liked the cyber truck better for highway driving although it was a bit noisy which could be understandable as a downside. The cyber truck also has options to get bigger batteries which would put it above the others. Now I agree that there is an appeal to the Rivian looks that the cyber truck doesn’t have and that the looks are so different it’s hard to compare them. The Rivian has a soft more sophisticated exterior and the interior is more traditional, more in the style of luxury cars today. The cyber truck is very minimalist and clean and futuristic, which is hard to compare to, but looks great with the visibility in the sunroof. So overall, I think he was trying to be very honest, and while in someways, I wanted to criticize him the biggest criticism is it seems like he wasn’t open to let himself like the cyber truck more even though he kept on saying over and over in almost every metric that the cyber truck had more room and had an amazing tunnel cover and the drivetrain and the powertrain were better and the 220 V battery and the faster charging for the first part of the charge cycle, he just went into so many different areas and he would start to say the other truck was better, but then said oh no cyber truck better so it just seems like he hit a wall. Now he owns a Rivian so you don’t feel bad about an expensive purchase that you made for yourself and I don’t think he has a reason to feel bad about it because it’s a preference thing and from the outside of the Rivian looks pretty cool. but the cyber truck and Rivian are so different. You could own both of them and like them for different reasons. I think one of the main considerations will be how these vehicles age. Will the cyber truck get better with age and updates and will the parts of each of these trucks last? How long will these trucks have to spend in repairs and going back to the dealership for recalls, etc. but overall I appreciate this video

You got it wrong. He went out of his way to minimize cybertruck's many downsides and issues. I got the impression he was concerned with blowback from a large portion of his viewership that have drunk the koolaid.

This was a wonderful succinct video! Thank you! I'm the future EV customer who needs a truck. I have been looking between these 3. I like the Ford a lot

Rivian looks more attractive..Cyber look small..but F150 looks more realistic to be a work-horse you can take at work sites.

Why? You want to move a truck around a site? 4 wheel steer. Visibilty? Nice low front. You want a REALLY secure, large storage area? You want a longer bed? You want ground clearance? . "But the side access"? How about a bed slide-out? Then, any access issues disappear. . Just sayin'

Nice straight to the point review. Hard to beat the lightning for comfort and truck bed usability. Side note, people are gonna get hurt falling into that sharp rear corner of the cybertruck.

Great comparison review! I didn’t realize how much smaller the Cybertruck is, compared to the other two trucks, especially the F-150 Lightning.

A very insightful episode for me. As usual, Kyle did a great job breaking down his thoughts on the three trucks but to me he highlighted something else. The reason why truck design has basically been the same for decades is because it is a good design. The Ford Lightning is probably the best version of what a truck can be. Tesla’s Cybertruck is awesome but its design is a bit of a compromise. Not a lot of compromise and it does fulfil the need to look radically different from other trucks but for a truck it could have more headspace in the back, better view behind and a bigger frunk. The Cybertruck probably needs more advanced batteries, should be in the works, to pull ahead in terms of range and of course there is the FSD future that will certainly make it highly desirable.

Ford all day

Absolutely love my Lightning, but looking forward to comparing with my soon to come CT.

Thanks for the side by side. To me the ford looks like the most practical for my family. The frunk is excellent and would be a good compromise if your spouse argues with you about storage if you never had a pickup truck before. Also, the spare tire is good

Wow. That’s what everyone wants to see

Would love to see a 100 mile or so Baja like race between these three trucks. I don’t think the cyber trucks lack of locking hubs will hold it back.

The CT's front and rear can electronically lock on the dual motor so all tires turning all the time. 👍

Fords have been making trucks a long time that would be an easy pick especially for somebody who wants to do off-road hard driving the Cyber truck is too new and it's going to have a lot of bugs to work out

Tesla fanboy here but glad they're all available and great products.

Glad to see Tesla finally starting to catch up to the competition. Probably not a position they are used to being in.

Excellent videos, really appreciate all the work that goes into producing them. Would love a Rivian, unfortunately however Rivian has been unable to figure out the Eastern Canadian Market. They were on the ball when it came to collecting deposits but are no where to be found when it comes to actually delivering vehicles. Nor can they seem to get a handle on customer communication.

I'm more Ford F150 Lightning. I like that it looks the same as the ICE version. It's bigger than the other two. I currently have a Tesla Model 3, and need a truck to add so when the 2025 with NACS comes out, I think I'll be happy with the Lightning. Great vid!

One other competition is updates…Ford almost never does updates.. Tesla will for sure have updates.. but Rivian seems king right now in this category.. makes the truck exciting and like a new toy to play with every couple months.

FSD has not improved in our experience. It reads stop signs on adjoining roads that are not perfectly 90 degrees to the one we’re on, and slams on the brakes. And Tesla’s software updates over the last several months broke the automatic wipers that they’d finally dialed in, and now run when it’s not raining and don’t always when it is.
