What fits in gear tunnel?

[ndmiller]

Picked up my R1T yesterday and ran a search and didn't find a thread, so curious what is everyone putting in their gear tunnel to add adventure ready functionality.

Any plug in fridges (dometic or other) that fit in the gear tunnel as Iost my console cooler when I traded in my lexus SUV?

Mine contains my golf clubs, softball gear, and an umbrella. All year round.

Not very adventurous I suppose, but it is very convenient.

I’ve used it for camping chairs, small propane grill tanks, carry on luggage, campstream diy kit, packages and groceries.

I went with BougeRV Pro Fridge / Freezer version that has tie down spots and is not as tall. It can also house a battery pack which makes it a nice option to use it without an outlet.

I bought it for my SUV but have only had a chance to use it In the R1T loaner I had when I met up with the Rivian group for camping. It was only used in the gear tunnel. One thing is you need some airflow. So when driving I would leave the ski door open.

I had to slightly tilt the fridge when trying to load it into the gear tunnel but once its inside the tunnels it sits flat it fits perfect.

same issue with not getting as cold when stored in the frunk. You need some airflow

I am not worried about the Fridge/Freezer fitting in the frunk. What I am worried about is a cooler that barely fits and when you go over bumps or potholes, the fridge moves up and bangs into the hood.

Exterior Dimension(L*W*H): 23.0 in*12.6 in*12.0 in

I rather have something not as tall to give some room for movement up / down on rough roads or when going offroading.

I also wanted it to fit in the rear compact spare tire spot for the R1S so this took care of both items for me.

The $80 discount code that brought the cooler down to $169 was icing on the cake. Free shipping helped to seal the deal.

I used mine to hold a basket of necessities, bed ramps as needed, and space for grocery bags and such.

I love that there are 4 "storage tiers" for the R1T, it's incredibly good at hauling:

• Humans and pets go in cabin
• Groceries and other shopping bags go in frunk
• Gear tunnel is for easy access to stinky/dirty stuff, and long term storage of my emergency equipment (flashers, shovel, axe, blankets, etc.)
• Bed is for recycle, trash, green waste, engines and occasional carting of large/heavy items from a nearby meeting spot because the semi can't back up into my long driveway

First thing that went into the gear tunnel was … my son.

So - bodies.
