It’s an adventure vehicle with a unique design, plenty of power, and a lot to love.

Perhaps my favorite Rivian R1T feature is what the company calls the gear tunnel.

Behind the rear passenger doors is a storage tunnel accessible from both sides of the truck.

it’s possible for you to even access it from inside the cabin.

Storage options are everywhere inside and outside of this truck.

While many EVs don’t come with a spare tire, the Rivian R1T does.

Instead, it’s located in a storage compartment inside the truck’s bed.

For starters, there’s a durable aluminum flashlight built into the driver-side door.

Rivian didn’t stop with a flashlight, either.

Thanks to wireless charging in the cubby, it’s always charged and ready to go.

The bottom trim has multiple “soft glow” LEDs that give off a warm campfire glow.

It’s the perfect camp light accessory and lasts for over six hours per charge.

Like the new Hummer EV offering crab walk mode, the Rivian R1T has a party trick too.

As a result, it can do a complete 180 or 360 while standing still.

The video above should show you all it’s crucial that you know.

It’ll get you out of a sticky situation, that’s for sure.

Thankfully, Rivian thought of that too.

We like that you might set the desired tire PSI, too, and it’ll stop automatically.

Carabiner Key Fob

It’s a minor feature, but it’s still a feature.

Instead of your typical boring key fob, the Rivian R1T fob is a durable aluminum carabiner.

This cable wraps around your valuables and connects to a locking point near the air compressor attachment.

Once you lock the truck, the cable locks into place.

By now, you probably want one.

Good luck finding one.
