FYI: Discover how EV Sportline is revolutionizing the Rivian R1T’s unique Gear Tunnel with its innovative slide-out storage solutions.
Inside the Rivian R1T: A Versatile Gear Tunnel
The Rivian R1T isn’t just an electric truck; it’s a testament to innovation, as showcased by its unique Gear Tunnel. Positioned smartly between the truck’s bed and the passenger cab, this full-width, lockable storage space can be accessed from both sides and offers unparalleled flexibility for owners.
Enter EV Sportline: Transforming the Gear Tunnel
Recognizing the potential of this unique feature, EV Sportline, an industry leader in electric vehicle accessories, has introduced a creative solution: the RMaxx Gear Tunnel Dual Slide Out Trolley Sled and Storage Chests. This system is designed to harness the full potential of the Gear Tunnel’s layout, merging form with function for enhanced utility.
What is the RMaxx System?
-
Slider Setup: The core of the RMaxx is its slider system that securely attaches to the vehicle’s body within the Gear Tunnel.
-
Box Options: Customers have the liberty to customize with various box choices. Whether you need a plain storage box, a triple-drawer toolbox, or even a combination of both, the RMaxx system adapts to meet your storage needs.
- Internal Accessibility: A smaller compartment located centrally between the two segments allows easy access from within the vehicle.
Renowned tech reviewer Zack Nelson, widely known by his YouTube channel, JerryRigEverything, has showcased the RMaxx system’s partial installation in his own R1T. Although the system requires secure attachment on both sides to prevent tipping from overextending, custom-made solutions like Nelson’s laser-cut adapter reveal possibilities for customized modifications.
The Cost of Customization
While the innovation is impressive, customization comes with its cost. The RMaxx system’s base unit is priced at $900. Want to add more? A singular open-top box bumps it to $1,050, while a complete setup featuring dual triple-drawer boxes and the mid-section cubby will set enthusiasts back by $1,690.
Conclusion: The Future of Tailored Automotive Storage Solutions
EV Sportline is redefining what it means to optimize vehicular space with the RMaxx system, inspiring a wave of creativity for Rivian R1T owners. As automotive trends veer towards customizability and innovation, it remains to be seen where aftermarket companies like EV Sportline will take vehicle enhancements next.
