I’ve had my truck for over a year and I’m still looking for a way to keep the bed on longer than just a few minutes!

Does anyone know how to turn them to stay on! I don’t find anything in the Manuel or on line!
Going camping it would be helpful Nothing in camp mode address this. PLEASE HELP

Not unless Rivian revise software via OTA. Pressing tailgate release button again should turn it back on.

You can turn them on from the center console screen. Same place you can turn on the interior lights and open the tonneau cover...

Thank you for your reply but that is no correct, I’ve looked all over that screen and searched the whole manuel but cannot find any adjustment! It make sense that we should be able to turn that on and off ! When camping you want to see what’s in the bed. The current time it stays on for is about a minute!!!

So 10 mins max if you turned them on manually. Seems like low hanging fruit for Rivian to let users change the timing on that.
I suspect it keeps the truck awake, so it's a pretty high HV battery draw.

Now that we've resolved that...I just want the backup lights to stay on long enough to hook up the trailer and plug in the lights in the dark.

Yeah, I'm aware that there's a flashlight in the door (and use it regularly), but it's nice to have both hands to get the trailer latched on and I'd rather not hold it in my teeth (much less wrap my lips around it).
