Verdict: The Rivian R1T Dual Motor outperforms the Ford F-150 Lightning Extended Range in acceleration (3.0 s vs 4.5 s per Car and Driver) and offers unique storage solutions, but it starts about $10k higher and has fewer service centers (per Edmunds). The Lightning provides a more practical work‑truck experience with higher payload and a wider dealer network, making it the better value for commercial users. Overall, the R1T is the sportier choice, while the Lightning is the pragmatic one.
