Rivian R1T Leasing Guide
June 2026
Overview
This guide is meant to provide information regarding the different trims and leasing structures available for the Rivian R1T. To view our leasing guide for the Rivian R1S (which has very similar leasing trends), click here. Please note that these guides are designed to report trends in a standardized fashion that can be compared across models, trims, and brands. Certain assumptions and extrapolations are made towards this pursuit, including $0 down, taxes and fees excluded, and incentives applied where applicable. Thus, these figures should be used as a trending tool rather than an accurate monthly payment or quote generator. Please consult your sales associate for an accurate quote.
Trims and Specifications
The R1T trims differ by number of motors (Dual, Tri, or Quad), battery size (Standard, Large, or Max), and an optional Performance software upgrade. The Tri and Quad motors come standard with a Max battery pack and Performance. Towing and payload differ by trim, detailed below. The R1T bed length is 54.1 inches standard, expanding to 83.6 inches with the tailgate down.

Lease Analysis
Updated June 6.
Changes in incentives:
Different bonus-eligible trims on inventory vehicles.
Rivian is again offering $3,000 lease credit towards inventory vehicles on select trims. This month those trims include the Dual Large with Performance, Dual Max with Performance, and the Tri. This is a change from last month’s Dual Standard and Dual Max with Performance.
Additionally, a $1,000 price reduction is currently available for all Dual Large, Dual Max, and Tri inventory vehicles, and a $5,000 price reduction for Quad inventory vehicles.
Please note that the vehicles optioned with the Forest Edge package are not eligible for either of these bonuses.
For the purposes of this guide, we will assume both $3,000 lease credit and $1,000 price reduction bonuses are applied.
Improved promotional APR financing.
We’re taking a deeper dive in this month’s promotional APR financing in light of Rivian’s uninspiring leasing rates. Last month, Rivian was offering 1.99%/2.49% APR on 60/72 month loans for the DLP, DMP, and Tri. These are considerably improved this month, and worth seriously considering:
DLP and DMP: 0.99%/1.49% on 60/72-month loans
DS, DL, DM, and Tri: 1.99%/2.49% on 60/72-month loans
Lowest monthly lease payment: Dual Standard.
The base trim Dual Standard again yields the lowest monthly payment, starting at $1,089/mo. Unfortunately, this reflects a $190/mo increase from last month at $899. This is a reflection of both the money factor more than tripling from 0.00041 (APR 0.98%) to 0.00132 (APR 3.16%) and the exclusion from the $3,000 lease credit. While it represents the cheapest monthly payment, its lease value has decreased considerably, from 1.20% MSRP/mo last month to 1.45% MSRP/mo this month. The next cheapest trim is the Dual Large with Performance at $1,237/mo, which, while a $148/mo premium over the Dual Standard, represents a considerable decrease in delta from last month, where the difference from the Dual Standard to the next cheapest trim (Dual Large) was $309/mo.
The takeaway - this month’s savings leasing a Dual Standard are considerably decreased compared to last month.
Best lease value: Dual Large with Performance. (Runner-up: Dual Standard)
By a small margin, the DLP is the best value lease this month at 1.42% MSRP/mo (starting at $1,237/mo), helped by both the $3,000 lease credit and $1,000 price reduction. This offsets the month-to-month increase in money factor from 0.00078 (APR 1.87%) to 0.00155 (APR 3.71%). Despite being the best value this month, this is a Poor rating on our scale, and is unchanged from last month’s 1.42% MSRP/mo.
As mentioned above, the Dual Standard is a close second starting at $1,089/mo, or 1.45% MSRP/mo.
Traps:
Not considering the math between leasing vs financing.
This month represents an overall worse month to lease an R1S, for every single trim. The Dual Large with Performance is the only trim that remains unchanged month-over-month. However, Rivian did considerably expand its incentives on financing. This month, you can stack a modest $1,000 price reduction with a promotional 1.49% APR on a 72-month loan on a DLP or DMP, which amounts to an effective monthly of roughly $1250/mo or $1350/mo, respectively, before taxes and fees. If we were dead-set on getting an R1T this month, that would likely be our pick, as it represents a better value than leasing right now. Feel free to play around with the total cost of ownership with our lease vs finance calculator here.
Leasing anything other than a Dual Large with Performance.
And even that’s being generous. The DLP leasing at 1.42% MSRP/mo is a poor value and makes far less sense than financing from a total cost of ownership perspective given the current promotional APR rates.
Recommendations:
Financing a Dual Large with Performance or Dual Max with Performance.
As mentioned above, Rivian’s lease rates worsened across all trims this month, while their promotional APR rates improved considerably. The best APR rates are on a DLP and DMP and include 0.99%/1.49% on a 60/72-month loan. On a 72-month loan, these amount to an effective monthly of roughly $1250/mo or $1350/mo, respectively, before taxes and fees assuming $0 down. If we were dead-set on getting an R1T this month, that would be our pick, as these represent better values this leasing right now.

Don’t lease an R1T right now. (If you must, we’d opt for an inventory Dual Large with Performance.)
The lease rates are very uncompelling and worse month-to-month across nearly all trims. The sole exception is an inventory Dual Large with Performance, which remains an unchanged lease value from last month, stable at 1.42% MSRP/mo. Still, it is far better value to finance it with Rivian’s promotional APR loan this month.
Notes: These figures assume $0 down and exclude taxes and fees. Certain assumptions and extrapolations are made in order to best standardize the leasing data such that it is comparable across months, trims, and brands. Thus, these figures are geared more towards trending and less towards generating an accurate monthly quote. Actual monthly payment and lease terms (MF, RV%, etc) may vary. Please consult your sales associate for accurate information.
