Rivian Introduces New Travel Kitchen Accessory for R1T and R1S
Overview
Rivian is set to release its highly anticipated travel kitchen accessory to the public. This new accessory represents a significant departure from the original design, as it now folds out like a sandwich. With a starting price of $1,400, it is expected to go on sale next week.
Redesigned Kitchen Accessory
After a year-long wait, Rivian has finally unveiled its redesigned travel kitchen accessory. Unlike the previous version, which was exclusive to the Gear Tunnel, the new kitchen accessory can be folded out and placed at the back of both the Rivian R1T and R1S. There are also rumors that it may be compatible with R2 models. The updated design features a cooktop, a table space, overhead lighting, and a utensil drawer. The sink and flatware space have been removed.
Easy Installation and Portability
The new kitchen accessory attaches to the tailgate of each model, although the method of attachment for the R1T is still unclear. The cooktop is powered by the outlet in the rear of the vehicle. When not in use, the entire accessory can be folded up into a soft case with handles and a shoulder strap, making it easy to carry and transport.
Third-Party Alternatives
While Rivian’s travel kitchen accessory offers a unique and convenient solution, there are also third-party companies that offer similar camp kitchens. However, these alternatives often come at a higher price, typically exceeding $2,000, and are only compatible with the R1T due to its exclusive Gear Tunnel feature.
Conclusion
Rivian’s new travel kitchen accessory provides R1T and R1S owners with a versatile and practical solution for cooking and dining on the go. With its innovative design and affordable price, it is sure to be a popular choice among outdoor enthusiasts. Stay tuned for its official release next week!
