So has anyone on this forum actually sat in a Rivian RIT? I am worried about the size. I am 6'1" and 250 and I like a full size truck but when it comes to midsize like a Chevy Colorado I feel cramped. And getting in and out I always hit my head on the top of the door frame. I have to duck to get in a mid size. Will Rivian be larger?

At 7'1" Shaq barely fits in anything not custom built.

Every public event I've been able to find regarding the Rivian has had the vehicle "roped off". So I doubt any one on here has actually sat in one yet.
On a side not I went to school with Shaq in 7th and 8th grade... Imagine trying to tackle him at football practice...

They do generally prohibit people from sitting in the vehicles at their events but I know a few lucky folks have had the opportunity, my wife being one of them (thanks again to Tony Caravano for giving my visually impaired wife the guided tour of the interior at Mill Valley). Unfortunately she's only 5'5" so her experience isn't particularly relevant to the over 6' crowd. We also have no experience with the Chevy Colorado to make any comparisons.

I will note that RJ is at least 6' tall, I'd guess more like 6'2" +/- and he is absolutely planning to use these vehicles for family duty. While I suspect the space will be more than adequate for the over 6' crowd, this doesn't guarantee you won't have to duck your head a little.
