Name this bed rack?

Anyone know what bed rack is on the truck in this photo? It’s from their Instagram stories from Big Sky Resort. Looks like a Kuat IBex but can’t really tell how it’s mounted. AI says it’s the Rivian oem bed rack.

I was shocked too! It is a Kuat rack. I messaged Rivian, so waiting on response. I bet it was customer fit. I asked Kuat about adapting it to the Rivian over a year ago. Kuat said they wouldn’t recommend it. Looks like it is possible.

Freaking awesome! I’m in the same boat. I want something bigger without breaking the bank.

someone needs to go to Big Sky resort, find this truck and take measurements and pictures of how this is mounted

Measurement isn’t key. It’s how it is mounted and if they made custom adapters to the Rivian crossbar mounting points. Kuat does make the Ibex in different sizes. Measure bed uprights and you’d pretty much have the size.

Size wise, from their website, sku: ibexa3 is closest based on what I measured. But since Kuat says it was a custom job, was curious if they made it shorter than 60” that ibexa3 is. Definitely the mounting is most important.

FYI, for anyone who didn’t see it on Reddit…

Kuat employee posted the following:

Hey y'all. Kuat employee here. This was a custom unit we did for Rivian. I wouldn't set any expectations!

We've had a few people call our customer service team already.

Disappointing and dismissive response

That's dumb, they already did the hard work and prototyping on Rivian's dime. Any new sales would just be bonus but I'm guessing they aren't setup for small batch orders is the only thing I can think of for not offering this.

Its always great to see more options, but if they dont come to market. I've ran the following on my truck for almost 3 years. Great people and very customizable.

Yup. Lame response. Basically saying “It’s custom, stop calling us.” 3 years ago I asked them and the response was, “maybe, we’re working on something, stay tuned.” Now it sounds like they don’t even care about potential sale of parts for people to replicate the custom fitment. Unless, they can’t talk about it because Rivian has plans to offer it in the future, or haven’t committed.

Found this on a google image search. Someone got it to mount.

Not a good fit. Too tall.
