Which is the superior all-electric pick-up truck - the Tesla Cybertruck, Rivian R1T, or Ford F-150 Lightning?

Well, Mat had a chance to all three of them, and we’re about to find out which he thinks is the must-have all-electric truck!

So let’s see how the three compare. Starting with the design, the Cybertruck is one of the most eye-catching vehicles on the road today - literally nothing looks similar to it! It’s made out of huge, tough aluminium body panels, and is covered in hard angles from the front to the rear that somehow make it look both retro and futuristic at the same time!

When it comes to the Rivian, it’s a super-stylish bit of kit. It has a relatively conventional pick-up truck look, but the addition of a cool light bar at the front really helps it stand out. The one we reviewed here also came equipped with an off-road pack that added several features and helped it look more rugged.

Then finally we have the F-150 Lightning. It certainly looks the most conventional of the three cars here, looking very similar to the conventional petrol-powered F-150! Still though, if the likes of the Cybertruck are a bit too wild, then the F-150 Lightning may be the choice for you.

All three cars come with pretty smart interiors. Both the Cybertruck and Rivian keep things simple, with a huge infotainment screen in each used to control nearly all functions. The Rivian does have one advantage over the Cybertruck, though, with a digital dial display in the usual position. The Ford F-150 Lightning has a few upgrades over the ICE version, such as the inclusion of the same screen as in the Mach-E. Otherwise, though, it continues to look very similar to the usual truck.

All three contenders come with a choice of batteries and motors. The range-topping Cybertruck, nicknamed the ‘Cyberbeast’, comes with three motors and a range of up to 320 miles. The dual-motor Rivian ‘Max’ should deliver up to 410 miles, and the top-of-the-range Ford F-150 comes with dual motors and a range of up to 320 miles.

The question is, which of these would you choose?! Let us know in the comments!
