My 110 pound Black Armour mat arrived today. My 1st R1T purchase prior to delivery…

I've got 21" center caps and a rivian branded charger installed already. I thought I was the only crazy one ordering this stuff ahead of time..

I doubt it's a real concern given how over-engineered the R1s are, but I'd personally not want to spend 110lbs of my pretty minimal payload capacity just for a mat. By the time you add in people and supplies for an overlanding trip, every pound matters.

In another thread I saw someone went to Home Depot and got a 4x6 doormat that seemed to fit perfectly between the wheel wells. It didn't provide full coverage like what you've done, but was likely significantly lighter as well. I think I'd personally lean that way for an 'always in the bed' solution. If I wanted to swap it in and out regularly, I'd probably do something like what you've done here.

Again, just concerned with how much payload that eats up for a mat ?
You do you.....but it's bit ridiculous to be concerned about 110lbs (which is actually more like 70 since you're using 2/3 of it.).

You're welcome BTW. Maybe next time say what you want and express whatever opinion you have....but take a sentence to thank the someone for taking the time to put the dimensions & such for the community's use.

One thing that irks me a bit is coming into someone's thread and kinda shitting on it a little bit. You can put anything you want in the bed from a cheap ass HD mat to this to carpet as moosehead did. But maybe next time say what you want and express whatever opinion you have....but take a sentence to thank the someone for taking the time to put the dimensions & such for the community's use.
This is a public internet forum. I'm not sure what internet you've been living on for the last 30 years, but this is exactly what happens in every internet forum everywhere. People post their opinions and others respond.

It may be ridiculous to you, but given that my offroading kit weighs several hundred pounds, and I like to be able to carry 5 reasonably sized Americans with me, every ounce matters. Your use case may be different, but many have my similar use case, and for those people what I said is valuable information to consider.

I don't owe OP any thanks for providing anything to the community, just like nobody owes me thanks for what I posted.

Not sure what you're so butthurt about, but you need to get off deez nuts and go worry about yourself.

Well thanks for the history lesson. So you didn't actually read this post because The OP is ME. And you're welcome!

I read plenty, just didn't pay attention to which poster was the OP, because it is entirely irrelevant.

I don't owe you thanks. Get over your own entitlement.

Not sure what you are referring to.
Sorry for being vague. Referring to the price jumping up when trying to check-out for the rubber mat. Apparently it's more expensive for some zipcodes.

I'll be using your measurements to cut my bedrug out. Thanks for putting that together!

That's weird, it show $149 free shipping for me. Anyways, I might do the carpet mat myself for winter. Easier to slide ice house & equip in and out with carpet.....

With an attitude like that, you must have a lot of friends.

The weight of the truck has nothing to do with the payload of the truck. Thanks for demonstrating you have no idea what I'm talking about. Appreciate the input.

Enough to suit my needs. Not sure why that is any concern of yours.

I still don't see how the vendor ground ships a 111 pound bed mat via Fed Ex and still makes a profit.

Mine arrives yesterday and it took two people to haul it into the garage.
