Where can the aftermarket help the R1T?

Also, this flimsy plastic needs a replacement with aluminum or steel. Always gets scratched from light use.

An affordable full-height ladder rack. The current selection is too expensive or not very attractive for a R1T.

I built my own with wood, but would like an affordable aluminum option.

2. A replacement cover for the trailer hitch. The plastic on there is a PITA to get off and I suspect it'll break eventually. I don't want to leave a hitch hanging out on this vehicle, so I remove and replace every time, and it's just too flimsy. Bonus points, make one that'll accommodate a stow and go hitch from B&W so I can leave the hitch there, but hidden.

Air suspension delete. Also, if you could do anything to unf**k the driveline, half shafts to hubs, that would be fantastic.

Please only do this for kyle because my R1T has been fabulous over the first year of ownership and the entire drivetrain functionality has been awesome, as has the air suspension.

1. Fold in/Swing out bed step like RAM has.
2. Grab handles for all passengers and driver.
3. Glovebox type storage.
4. Soft open/down assist for R1T tailgate.
5. Pull tab/handle for Gear tunnel doors.

#2 - has 4 votes from our family. Presuming these would replace the existing pillar trim?!? This is a serious mis-design from rivian;

A: Rear cup holders for the outer seats;

B: Aluminum/SS L track or low profile channel strut for the upper bed sides (where molle panels are secured - https://builtrightind.com/products/bedside-rack-molle-panel-kit-rivian-r1t ) or if there is a way to use the same track as the r1s cargo area, so the cargo hold-downs could be used?!?

C: Headlight heaters (for snow/ice)

D: liquid spring suspension

E: a way to add custom audio for the door lock/unlock/etc.

Tool drawer for unused Powered Tonneau Cover space!!! Here's my mockup of what the drawer could look like.

Great call. I remember this post from before. Thanks for revisiting.

USB playback? Long shot, but I'm getting sick of BT dropping out and having to fix while I'm driving.

All we gotta do is violate the laws of physics. So, next week?

Ahem...vintage. It's vintage cool. I'm also trying to reduce by carbon whatever-it's-called by reusing as much as possible, something Rivian should totally be down for (if we are to believe their MarCom).

Suspension parts! After reading posts of $4000 for two dampers from Rivian, we need some alternatives when warranty runs out.

I agree, also 12v battery replacement. 12v battery after we run out of warranty can be expensive as well.
