We love when a Rivian R1T rolls into the shop for install day. It’s such a good-looking truck packed with some pretty amazing tech, and the X1 feels right at home on it.
The X1 for the R1T also gets a few special touches, including yellow accents that tie into the Rivian theme and integrated internal and external buttons that retain control of your favorite R1T features. That means easy access to the Gear Tunnel, Power Tonneau controls built into the camper bedrail, and Power Tailgate control from inside the camper or your fob.
We also weren’t about to tap into the R1T’s electrical system just to add the camper’s third brake light. So we built LightLink™, a wireless sensor that reads the cab brake light and triggers the X1 brake light in sync. No splicing, no DIY wiring, and no compromises to the vehicle. It just works.
Your Rivian, only better.
Marlon Richardson made the jump from a rooftop tent to the X1, and we’re stoked to see where he and his family take this setup next. More room, quick setup, and plenty of adventures ahead!
