Confirmed: R1T Gear Tunnel is accessible from interior through rear seat arm rest!

the photo actually confuses me more now.

Waiting for ducktruck to clarify with that image too

Looks like a panel that either folds like a bi-fold door, or hinges down.

I suppose. A bi-fold just doesn't make sense to me, and the way it has two panels seems weird to fold down as a single unit. When I was reading @DuckTruck description I had assumed it slid left to right, but that doesn't seem like what it does based on the pic. Guess we'll see!

lateral accordion door makes sense, but I see what looks like a little handle or button at the top of it in the picture, which makes me think it folds down....which is not an uncommon arrangement for these things.

I'm sure we'll get the Full Bruce on it from duck soon.

@DuckTruck - Thanks for sharing. Did you happen to catch if there's a way to secure something from sliding around inside the Gear Tunnel? Or on the Gear Tunnel Shuttle?

No. Nothing official. I just assume I'll pack it in such a way to get the cooler right in the middle. I'm no loner, but I'll likely use that feature only as a party trick on Game Day, which will likely be the one time I'll have a full vehicle on a 100-mile trip each way to tailgate at Autzen Stadium to watch my beloved Ducks play football.

Don't get me wrong, it is a great feature, just one I'll likely save for special events, especially since I won't be in the back seat often. However, it is one more arrow in my quiver for trying to lure the F-150 owners in my life to come over to the right side...the bright side of the road.

Tip of the fedora to Van "The Man" Morrison for that line....

Correct, it slides up and down, rather than laterally to reveal and cover the opening (shrouded?) into the tunnel.

Thanks, Babbuino, for posting the pic! I edited my original post to show you found the pic we needed.

Nice teamwork! ???

Am I correct in seeing it as two panels, or does it have more segments?

Was also thinking about keeping stuff from banging around when we go into Drift mode, lol.

I see your Ducks and my Dawgs are scheduled to play to open next year. Assuming I'm not getting mine for this season, which means that might be my first adventure in full tailgate mode.

No. The rear wall of the cab is there and solid, along with the tonneau cover storage.

Nothing a sawzall can't fix!

Sounds like a possible mass-Riviot sighting waiting to happen. Like the line out of Ghostbusters, "Human Sacrifice! Dawgs 'n Ducks, living together! Mass Hysteria!"

The first time I heard that line in the movie, I thought... "Apple Cup!" For those who don't know, that is the game between the Washington Huskies and the Washington State Cougars.

Think how much fun we could have making a video of peace and harmony in the college football world to send to the folks at Rivian. If we can make that happen, World peace can't be far away.

Of course, we'd have to make the video before the game. After that, all bets are off!

Hopefully my Aggies will see those Dawgs in the SEC Championship this year. If so, looks like I'll be making the trip to Atlanta.

I'm a bit surprised over the surprise people have over this revelation? Lots of cars and SUVs have pass-through holes hidden behind center arm rests, to allow long items to overfill into the cabin, or for a rear passenger to grab something from the trunk/cargo area. It's hardly unique or special.

It’s news to me, never seen that option in a pickup before, obviously because there was no gear tunnel in another truck before, so I think it’s awesome. Why the saltiness?

Hopefully you will have your R1S by then. If not by then maybe in time for when the Aggies go to the National Championship game!

Skyote, It does my heart good to hear that you're also planning on keeping you Rivian for a long, looonng, time. ??? ?
