Rivian Drops Auxiliary Brake Light, Reintroduces R1T Tent

Rivian Auxiliary Brake Light

Rivian wasn’t done after yesterday’s Gear Shop drop. Today they rolled out a new Auxiliary Brake Light for the R1T.

Basically, it’s a simple but smart add-on for anyone throwing big stuff over the bed, like a rooftop tent. Normally that would block your third brake light, which legally always has to be visible. Rivian’s solution? Mount this brake light on your Cargo Crossbars and plug it into the trailer connector using the 7-pin. Done. Price is $200.

And speaking of tents, Rivian also brought back the R1T Three-Person Tent. This time it includes the new brake light right in the box. It’s made with Yakima, comes in Pewter or Yellow with Rivian branding, and goes for $2,400.

  1. I was so excited about this new accessory since I’ve been rocking the skyrise on my R1T for well over a year now but just went to finally pull the trigger and it looks like it’s gone 🙁

    Any insight on what happened with it?

    • I can’t confirm for certain but there were a lot of buyers who noticed an issue with the wiring so I think the brake light was recalled and will be released again in the future once fixed.
