Stock, from the factory - they would likely beat out any other truck at that competition before mods. Larger tires and added weight could definitely go a long way. As much as people like internal combustion engines, electric easily beats them in every way except range. We're watching a dying breed of motorsports, and that's okay because the future looks interesting.

To drain a 130kwh battery pack at 600kw takes 13 minutes. My guess is that it's probably only able to put 200-300 horsepower to the ground before the wheels start slipping.

To produce huge amounts of power for short periods of time, is right in the "wheelhouse" of electric trucks. They're perfectly suited to this. Rather than comparing trucks, I think this was more of a contest between TIRES! If you could add ballast to the Ford, and make it as heavy a s the Rivian, I'll bet the results would be more similar. In both cases, the trucks stopped because of traction, NOT lack of torque. It might be interesting to try fitting the trucks with tires more similar to the successful trucks in this class.

They may have plenty of power but as soon as you pull a trailer on the road with an electric truck they run out of battery way more quickly than a gas or diesel. Then you need a lot more coal to charge them back up again.

I would bet the ford overall is still in better shape after ten pulls like that over the Rivian... Which last I read was closing a few dealers 👍.... Ford!

The point is, do they really emit less carbon emissions from manufacturing to end of battery life. Many studies say no.

There is no denying the Rivian won, but I am way more impressed with the Ford. The fact that ford can come close in this event when you consider 2 less motors, 255 less HP, 133 less torque, street tires instead of the off-road rivian tires, 1,000 lbs. less towing capability and only lost by 15 ft. To me is impressive as hell.

Nice Video!!!!! But now I want to see the Tesla Cybertruck with its 1020 HP, 1200 pounds of torque, and 14,000 pounds of towing capacity, but we have to wait until the mid to end of 2023!!!!! But the video show the future of trucks, specially when these two trucks came plain from their respective companies with no modifications at all, and using unmatched tires, compared to other ICE trucks that were heavily modified either in engines, or tires, or both!!!!! But again, a very nice video!!!!!!!!

I read comments all the time bashing on electric, with people saying I'd never buy electric, yet you can't buy one in my area there isn't a showroom with in a 1000 miles. Shortest wait time I've found is 6 months.

It funny and cool of how these electric trucks are out pulling some of these other trucks, electric power is going to be the top here soon

One thing is for sure. The electric takes all the fun out of pulling. The smoke and sound is what draws the crowd.

Yeah.... great..... fantastic. Do a range test on both towing a boat or something that puts them at their towing capacity and lets see how far they go before they're dead on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck with a gas generator.

Been following Rivian since the beginning. Just needs more range. Seems all the big three are in competition on who can build a more expensive truck so right now I've been waiting on a new underdog.

Watch out the next few years. Solid state batteries are finally nearing viability for EVs. Better energy capacity, weight, and safety (hard to ignite). We're going to see a turning point very soon.

The Lightning starts off cheaper than the Rivian... Seems like Rivian is going the Tesla route and overcharging on the basis that people will spend anything on a startup company.
