The folks over at MotorTrend have answered the question we have all been wondering – which new electric pickup truck is King of the Hill? Definitely check out their latest article here – it provides a detailed comparison of the three electric lifestyle pickup trucks: the 2024 Tesla Cybertruck, the Rivian R1T, and the Ford F-150 Lightning. MotorTrend tested these trucks through various performance metrics, including acceleration, braking, off-roading, towing, cargo carrying, and daily usability.

The article compares the Tesla Cybertruck vs Rivian R1T vs Ford Lightning according to these categories:

  • Performance: Acceleration, Braking and Handling
  • Range and Charging
  • Towing and Off-Roading
  • Cargo and Usability (Including charging)
  • Comfort and Features

We’re not going to spoil the outcome but let’s just say we were really shocked at how the Cybertruck compared with the Rivian and Ford! Check out their article!

– Page Contains Affiliate Links – Why? (click here to expand) We lose money every month producing the TX:GX Overland website and YouTube channel. Creating content takes time and money – we have to pay for:
  • Website and WordPress hosting
  • Trip videos that cost money for fuel, admissions fees at parks/events, and wear and tear on our vehicle
  • An enormous amount of our time producing this site and the videos (I won’t even begin to calculate that cost!)
Basically, we lose money every month. We use affiliate links and YouTube monetization to try to reduce this monthly loss but they don’t pay much. We lose about $20 per month just from our website costs (not including trip costs). Purchases made via this website using affiliate links sometimes result in us making a small commission (usually 2-4%) that we use to keep the lights on. But since we lose about $20 per month (not including trip fees) you can see we are definitely not “in it for the money” – we do this out of a love for helping other people enjoy the outdoors and overlanding, to help people get started and find gear to make their trips more successful, and to produce videos that inspire and entertain our viewers. Even though we lose money each month, we are committed to helping the world we live in. Please read “Who Our Affiliate Links Benefit” to see a list of the causes and charitable organizations we donate to. Thank you for your understanding!
– Who Our Affiliate Links Benefit (click here to expand) TX:GX Overland is about experiencing the outdoors and doing so in a responsible, sustainable way. Without the trees, the forests, the clean babbling brooks and the open trails we enjoy while overlanding we simply couldn’t exist. Therefore, we are committed to helping organizations that support our outdoor adventures. Though we do not make a profit from the TX:GX Overland website or YouTube channel we still make donations to worthwhile causes. We make donations to the following organizations:
  • OneTreePlanted
  • Tread Lightly
We have reviewed these organizations and determined they fit our purpose. We do not have the resources to do an exhaustive background check of their prior/current activities, partnerships, board members, etc. so if they are “doing something bad” we’re not aware of it. We hope our donations to these organizations is doing the world some good – if you disagree with these choices we respect your decision, please respect ours.
