I wondered about the hooks in the frunk as well and asked CS and my Guide about it. CS said no clue, and my guide said he was ~90% certain he saw them in the final. Then, yesterday, I was showing a co-worker the R1T and specifically the frunk. There, front and center, was this photo:

that clearly shoes the hooks. I don't remember seeing this particular photo, but it seems like the hooks are a go!

Don't get your hopes up. There's a TON of old prototype pictures still up on rivian.com. As just one simple example, the later R1T models have a 1-piece rear window, but that's not the case with the very first top photo here: https://rivian.com/r1t.

You are absolutely right. I just wasn't sure I saw that specific picture on the site before, and it is hard to tell if it is an old prototype. Under the R1S section, there are a few photos of a (relatively) newer R1S build which has the hooks visible as well..

Unfortunately that is not a newer build. It clearly has the original prototype tow hook loops and not the bar-like production design.

I think this is a picture of an older prototype.

I was under the impression they moved the hood latch to a single point in the center of the truck. This looks like it still has the two outboard latches

Those are the Early models they were showing at events etc. The frunk along with the front end has been altered slightly since. This truck specifically was the one shown in Tofino and Seattle in Sept 2019.

Easiest way to tell is where the front recovery hooks are on the bumper.
Skid plate = Old.
Just below radiator grill = Newer

I do hope they still include them in some fashion because its great for keeping things from moving (grocery bags specifically), but time will tell

They have not delivered any Amazon Vans They are in the testing phase.

… We've seen the vans out testing on delivery routes in areas like California and Oklahoma. …
I will keep my eyes peeled for them here in OKC
