RIVIAN R1T OVERLAND CONCEPT
Rivian hasn't even launched any vehicles, and it's
already building special editions and devising expensive
accessories for its R1T electric pickup.
The latest is a camping special, not sized for a giant slide-in
camper, but outfitted with a bed-top tent and an integrated
slide-out kitchen for camping or tailgating cookouts.
The R1T has a unique "gear
tunnel" underneath the front of the bed. It's big enough
for a few sets of golf clubs and has access via fold-down doors on
either end that double as sturdy, flat steps to give owners a boost
into the bed. That is where Rivian installed a slide-out kitchen to
wow visitors to the Overland Expo outside of Flagstaff, Arizona,
last weekend. The kitchen includes storage drawers and cupboards,
as well as a two-burner induction cooktop that runs on the
truck's big 135-kilowatt-hour or optional 180 kWh battery.
