Bed, tongue weight, and wheelbase

The trailer rating is one limit. The bed has to fit the load, the tongue or pin has to fit in payload, and the wheelbase is the column the chart uses.

  • An illustrative 10 percent of the 11,000 lb conventional maximum is 1,100 lb of tongue weight. This is not a measured load or recommended percentage; actual load may be higher.

Generation

First generation

2022 is year 1 of this generation (20222026). Rivian R1T. The 2025 page cites 11,000 pounds for the Dual Large configuration and a 1,764-pound payload figure from the same source.

What changes the number

  • Engine and transmission
  • Cab, bed, and wheelbase
  • Two-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, or all-wheel drive
  • Axle ratio and tow package
  • Conventional hitch versus fifth-wheel versus gooseneck
  • People, options, and cargo, which spend payload the chart assumed was empty
