Overview
2022 Rivian R1T appears on the official Forza Horizon 6 car list as a A Class (sharp performance) entry in the base roster. This page covers how it tends to drive in its class, where it fits inside the Japan setting, how to think about a starting tune, and which roster entries it naturally compares against.
Background and Forza Horizon 6 context
The R1T was the first electric pickup in serial production, launching ahead of Ford's Lightning and Tesla's Cybertruck. Four motors give one per wheel, with a 135kWh pack and a tank-turn function. Rivian builds the R1T at the former Mitsubishi plant in Normal, Illinois. On the official Forza Horizon 6 car list this 2022 Rivian entry sits in the A Class (sharp performance) bracket inside the base roster, which is the placement players come to this page expecting to confirm against the public source. Inside the same A Class (sharp performance) bracket, the closest comparison roster entries for players are 2007 Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione and 2014 Alfa Romeo 4C, which is the A Class (sharp performance) peer group this car is usually weighed against.
Driving feel in Forza Horizon 6
R1T was the first electric pickup in serial production, with four motors (one per wheel), a 135kWh pack and a tank-turn function. In A-class events on Japan's longer routes the R1T's per-wheel torque vectoring makes it more agile than expected for a pickup; on tighter routes the kerb weight (around 3,100kg) blunts cornering speed.
Where it shines
A class is the sweet-spot bracket for many Horizon road events, especially mid-length point-to-points and Street race playlists.
Tuning starting point
A class rewards smarter aero and gearing. Test whether a top-speed gear or a corner-exit gear suits the events you actually run.
How to get 2022 Rivian R1T
This car is listed without an add-on label on the official Forza Horizon 6 source, so we treat it as part of the base roster. Forza Horizon 6 launches on May 19, 2026, and before that date the public Autoshow may not surface every base-roster car yet — players asking 'how do I get this car, it is not in the Autoshow?' on Reddit or the Forza forums usually find the answer is 'wait for launch day or a post-launch update'. After launch, base-roster cars are normally available through credits in the Autoshow, Wheelspins, Festival Playlist rewards, or the in-game showcase that introduces new vehicles.
