Announcing our new "CLUBS" section where you can join or create a Rivian club or group! You can use this new feature to conveniently plan and discuss local events, gatherings or other club/group related topics.
So we encourage you to join (or start) special-interest and regional-based Rivian clubs at: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/group-categories/clubs-groups.1/
I would disagree. If they'd lop the back seats off and give an extra 2-3 feet of bed space, then we'd be talking.
I've got a sawzall and a welder if you're interested.I would disagree. If they'd lop the back seats off and give an extra 2-3 feet of bed space, then we'd be talking.
But I'll keep beating the dead horse for anybody to make a long bed EV truck until I die, LOL.
As long as overall dimensions are kept the same, I'm open to new modelsI would disagree. If they'd lop the back seats off and give an extra 2-3 feet of bed space, then we'd be talking.

To follow up on this, in my case, they were able to significantly reduce the gap along the lower sides of the liftgate (the area below and just above the light bar). Went from as much as 1/4" gap on left and right sides to flush or just a slight gap. I am sooo much happier with the improvement. It's not perfect but it's pretty decent now. They also fixed the issue with the seal. The work was completed same day but a late meeting at work yesterday prevented me from picking up until this morning.
That's much better. I'd definitely be happy with that. Glad you got it sorted out.To follow up on this, in my case, they were able to significantly reduce the gap along the lower sides of the liftgate (the area below and just above the light bar).

They couldn't do much about the alignment along the top edge but I didn't expect they would be able to. If you raised the liftgate up to align at the top, the light bar and lower edge would no longer align and those already have perfect vertical alignment on my vehicle.
Attaching before and after shots of the side alignment. Apologies that the angle and distance aren't exactly the same but I think they still convey the improvement.

Do you know which bolts etc they messed with? I might try this myself at home. I can probably figure it out, but the more info we have the more some of us might be able to figure out exactly what the problem is.To follow up on this, in my case, they were able to significantly reduce the gap along the lower sides of the liftgate (the area below and just above the light bar).

They didn't say. My suspicion is that it was an adjustment of the catch at the center of the tailgate since that is where the liftgate connects. The other possibility would be the side latches where the tailgate connects to the body but that would have messed up the tailgate alignment which was fine to begin with. Adjusting the top hinges also seems pretty unlikely.
Mr. Magoo runs QC still?Good to know they can fix it. Here is mine. It’s the only gap/mis-alignment I can notice so I’ll be happy if it’s fixed. Gotta wait til June tho…
