So my GMC Sierra, full size crewcab pickup is 78 in wide and 1 foot longer than than the Rivian. That length difference is in the bed. So the cab is equivalent to a full size pickup.

I'm just stating how the measurements were qualified by Rivian.The mirrors are generally not counted in width. Same with the height and curb height.
Have you seen the video of the chief engineer sitting in the back seat? that’s nowhere near the room in the back of my f150. So I’m trying to see if all rows are spaciousSo my GMC Sierra, full size crewcab pickup is 78 in wide and 1 foot longer than than the Rivian. That length difference is in the bed.

I remember seeing a video of the chief engineer sitting and he looked comfortable albeit not much leg room. Any time I drive around with people in the back on my truck the first thing they say is the amount of leg room is huge.You might want to check out the rear seat room thread. It says R1S but their are pictures of the R1T back seat.

I talked to Brian Gase (the engineer you mentioned in the video) and asked him about the F-150 in particular. He said they were shooting for something in-between the SuperCab and SuperCrew. I think this is a sweet spot (the SuperCrew is MASSIVE rear legroom, wasted space IMHO) with regard to efficiency and comfort.I remember seeing a video of the chief engineer sitting and he looked comfortable albeit not much leg room.

I have the super crew and absolutely love the space. So do all my passengers.

Just a note of caution. This spec sheet has been floating around the internet at least as far back when Rivian did their reveal in Nov 2018. As you can see the overall lengths are the old lengths. E.g. R1T overall length = 5475 mm = 215.55 in.I'm just stating how the measurements were qualified by Rivian.
Yes, I should have stated that, I forget that not everyone is familiar with all the history.Just a note of caution. This spec sheet has been floating around the internet at least as far back when Rivian did their reveal in Nov 2018. As you can see the overall lengths are the old lengths. E.g. R1T overall length = 5475 mm = 215.55 in.
If you can't find the spec on Rivian's website (or website for other EVs), try checking out evspecifications.com as they seem to keep their data fairly current. It's also handy to use for comparing an EV to other EVs.

Nice comparison. I think the Rivian looks most like a Honda Ridgeline. Can you do that overlay ?If you're interested, here's a visual comparison. R1T at 100% opacity with a F150 Supercrew 6.5' Bed on top at 50% opacity.
