ARLINGTON, Va. – The new all-electric 2022-23 Rivian R1T pickup truck has earned a 2022 Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety Pick+ award, the highest one the organization presents.

To earn either of the Institute’s two awards in 2022, a vehicle must earn good ratings in six IIHS crashworthiness evaluations, including the driver-side small overlap front, passenger-side small overlap front, moderate overlap front, original side, roof strength and head restraint tests. It must also be available with a front crash prevention system that earns advanced or superior ratings in both the vehicle-to-vehicle and daytime vehicle-to-pedestrian evaluations.
