Greetings- I just joined your forum seeking basic RT1 information and insights.
With all of the bed dimension discussions I've googled through, I can't find mention of the one other important basic dimension- the bed height! Rivian's website only lists the height from the bed to top rails. Doesn't matter if you intend to use the vehicle for camping, biking, big box store runs, or 4X8's- you always have to lift it up to the bed. Current traditional truck bed heights are ridiculously high, a deal killer for me.
I'm a potential buyer who needs truck practicality, and I wonder why clean sheet designs can't now include rear suspension lowering or "kneeling" for loading, and an integral loading ramp. Can't be that big of a technical or packaging problem, can it? I don't want a Cybertruck or F150 Lightning at this point, and hoped Rivian offered an better alternative.
