Unloading cargo with Camp Mode inspires Rear Tilt Mode idea

[Sgt Beavis]

So I bought a new grill today, but when I got it home the tailgate was way too high for my fairly short ramps. Realizing I was on a slope, I put the truck into Camp Mode. This raised the front of the truck and the lever action lowered the rear to the point that my ramps were a viable option.

So now I’m thinking Rivian should look into a rear tilt mode just for lowering the tailgate more for unloading.

That would be a great idea.

Also, why did you get the small one? ?

Rear tilt mode is an excellent idea. How does one submit a feature request?

It was the last one and on sale. So smoked turkey this Thanksgiving.

This should be a fairly easy feature to add I would imagine. I know some luxury SUV's already have a feature that lowers the rear end to aid in unloading/loading the trunk.

Kinda like kneel mode, but can we call it 'Drop it like it's hot' mode?

I had this thought a while ago. I was thinking it would be cool if you could enable it by double (or triple?) tapping the tailgate button.

I really wish Rivian had an official feature request section of the app, perhaps even with a user/owner voting system. My idea for that (which I’ve shared with them), is that there could be an upvote threshold above which relevant engineer(s) vet the feature and then it would enter a second round of voting for consideration on future builds.

I’d vote for this feature! I have a few I want more, but this is a good one for sure.
