Rivian Introduces Gen 3 Powered Tonneau Cover for R1T

Rivian just dropped a new third-generation powered tonneau cover for the R1T (remember when I called it in September of last year), debuting alongside the California Dune R1 Edition. This version ditches the larger panels from Gen 1 and Gen 2 in favor of smaller slits that roll away behind the Gear Tunnel, which should (hopefully) mean better durability and reliability.

The good news? Rivian has confirmed that a retrofit option will be available for existing owners. No timeline yet, but if you’ve had issues with the previous design, an upgrade could be on the horizon. Stay tuned!
