mvayaskRivian is now selling a travel kitchen accessory for the first time. This new offering is not the comprehensive campsite device it once advertised years ago but never released, which was supposed to slide out from the side of the company’s electric R1T trucks. Instead, this latest version is compact and lightweight, designed to sit neatly on a vehicle’s tailgate.
Called simply the Travel Kitchen, it unfolds to cover the length of the tailgate and comes with several useful features. It has two induction burners, a cutting board that can be stored away in an organizer drawer, and a pop-out bar for hanging a towel. To operate, the unit requires a three-prong 120V power source with 15A of current. This power can be sourced from a Rivian vehicle, a campsite power supply, or other vehicles like the F-150 Lighting, Cybertruck, or any with capable onboard power or a generator.
The cooktops have nine heat levels and share 1500W of power. However, when only one cooktop is in use, it can consume all the energy for maximum heat. It also has a “touchscreen power button” that activates only when induction cookware (not included) is placed on the unit and shuts off when removed for safety.
The Travel Kitchen also comes with a stow-away LED lighting kit that hangs off included poles and a carry case, allowing you to neatly pack away the entire setup in any trunk, EV truck frunk, or even Rivian’s gear tunnel. This accessory is currently available from Rivian for $1,400 and is part of the automaker’s expanding Adventure Gear line of products.
