The Rivian R1T's bed and the R1S's cargo area are two of the best-designed cargo spaces in any EV, but Rivian ships them essentially bare. There's no factory tonneau cover, no bed liner, and no roof rack included — just accessory ports waiting for you to decide what to bolt on. That's a good problem to have, but it means the first few hundred (or thousand) dollars of ownership often goes to figuring out which of the dozens of Rivian-compatible parts on Amazon are actually worth it.
We narrowed it down to five accessories that are genuinely built for the R1T and R1S — not generic truck parts with a Rivian mention buried in the bullet points. Below: which ones fit which model, what they actually protect, and where the real trade-offs are.
One thing worth knowing before you buy anything: the R1T and R1S don't share a parts bin the way most truck-and-SUV siblings from the same brand do. The R1T's bed, bed rail, and Gear Tunnel don't exist on the R1S, and the R1S's finished cargo floor behind the third row has no R1T equivalent. That's why almost everything below is labeled for one model or the other — treat "compatible with Rivian" claims on generic listings with some skepticism until you've checked the fine print against your specific vehicle.
R1T or R1S? It decides almost everything here
| Your Rivian | Why the other one's parts don't fit | Pick |
|---|---|---|
| R1T | Open bed — bed mats and bed-rail crossbars are R1T-only | BestEvMod bed liner |
| R1T, hauling loose items | Mounts into the bed's own bolt points | Muslogy cargo net |
| R1T, wants the bed covered | No honest pick — Amazon's buy box is suppressed | Why there's no pick |
| R1S | Enclosed boot behind the third row — cargo liners are R1S-only | LASFIT boot mat |
| R1S, adding a roof box or bikes | 330 lb rated, explicitly not R1T-compatible | KINGGERI roof bars |
| Either, and you want factory parts | Rivian's own bars telescope to fit both roof and bed rail | Rivian cargo crossbars |

Rivian R1 Cargo Crossbars, Dark
- Telescoping fit for roof and bed rail
- Compatible with a range of Yakima and Kuat mounts
- One-handed snap-on design
- Telescoping capability allows the crossbars to quickly adjust and mount equipment for adventure
Rivian's own Cargo Crossbars are the one accessory on this list that works across both the R1T and R1S, because they telescope to mount on either the roof or the R1T's bed rail using the factory accessory ports — no drilling, no aftermarket mounting feet guessing at your roofline. At $800 they're the most expensive pick here, but they're also the foundation: every rooftop cargo box, bike rack, or rooftop tent you'd add later needs crossbars first, and these are built to Rivian's own tolerances with Yakima and Kuat mount compatibility already sorted out.

Prices move around on Amazon — the table shows what we last recorded, and each "Check price" button takes you to the live listing.
No tonneau cover pick this update
The WeatherTech roll-up that held this slot has not been discontinued, but Amazon has suppressed its buy box: the listing now shows Amazon's own "High price" warning and no Add to Cart button at all. That is Amazon saying it is not a good buy at the price being asked, and we are not going to link a checkout you cannot complete.
Nor is there an honest substitute on Amazon right now. The only other R1T-specific covers listed are $1,099-$1,699 aluminium retractables sold through marketplace resellers — a different class of product at two to three times the money, which is filler rather than a replacement.
A cover is still the accessory that pays for itself fastest if you keep anything in the bed worth locking down. It is worth pricing directly with WeatherTech or Rivian while the Amazon listing is in this state, and we will put a pick back here when one is honestly buyable.
Best bed liner: BestEvMod (R1T)

Best bed liner — R1T
BestEvMod for Rivian R1T Truck Bed Mat Liner Foldable Accessories Pickup Heavyweight Bed Mat All-Weather Protection Compatible with Rivian R1T 2022-2026 Accessories
- Perfect fitment: designed according to 3D laser scan data in 1:1 scale for Gen 1 & Gen 2 Rivian R1T beds, shaped to the contours of the truck
- Premium TPE material: anti-slip, durable, scratch-resistant, and heavy duty
- Easy to install and clean: no tools needed, simply place it in the bed and roll it into position; rinse with water to clean
- Anti-slip texture surface keeps cargo from sliding or scratching the bed liner
Pros
- + 3D-scanned for a precise Gen 1 & Gen 2 R1T fit
- + TPE material resists scratches and won't crack in cold
- + No tools required to install
- + Reasonable ~$95 price for the protection it adds
Cons
- − Ships folded — needs time in the sun to lay flat
- − R1T only
- − Won't stop a tonneau cover from being worth adding too
A bed mat is the cheapest insurance you can buy for the R1T's bed floor. This one is scanned specifically to the truck's contours rather than trimmed from a universal blank, so it actually sits flush instead of sliding around under cargo.
Best budget roof rack: KINGGERI (R1S)

Best budget roof rack — R1S
KINGGERI Lockable 330lbs Roof Rack Cross Bars Compatible with Rivian R1S 2022-2026 (Without Roof Rails), Heavy Duty Anti-Theft Aluminum Roof Rails Crossbars Luggage Cargo Carrier
- Fitment: specifically for Rivian R1S 2022-2026 (not compatible with Rivian R1T)
- Die-cast aluminum brackets and 2mm-thick aluminum bar add extra load capacity and durability versus typical aftermarket bars
- Metal mechanism lock system for anti-theft security; max load capacity 330 lbs (150 kg)
- High-grade aluminum construction resists high/low temperature and corrosion
Pros
- + Roughly a fifth of the price of Rivian's own crossbars
- + 330 lb load rating
- + Lockable, anti-theft mounting hardware
- + No factory roof rails required
Cons
- − R1S only — not compatible with the R1T
- − Third-party fit, not accessory-port native
- − 12-month warranty is modest next to OEM
Not every R1S owner needs an $800 crossbar set, especially if a rooftop cargo bag or a couple of bike trays is the whole plan. KINGGERI's bars mount straight to the bare roof, carry a real 330 lb rating, and cost a fraction of the OEM option — the trade-off is a third-party fit and a shorter warranty.

Best cargo net — R1T
Muslogy Truck Bed Cargo Net Trunk Netting Compatible with Rivian R1T 2022-2026 Accessories, Pickup Cargo Organizer Storage Net w/Heavy Duty Carabiners
- Perfect fitment: designed specially for Rivian R1T 2022-2025 to fit the bed precisely
- LockNflex material secures small items and prevents larger items like groceries and tools from rolling while driving
- Premium thumb screws for durability
- Easy to install: remove the original covers to install the mounting bolts

Best cargo liner — R1S
LASFIT Trunk Mat & Backrest Mats for Rivian R1S 2022-2024, All Weather TPE Custom Fit Cargo Liner for R1S Cargo Mat, Black, Easy to Clean
- Custom fit: 3D laser scanning technology ensures a precise fit for 2022-2024 Rivian R1S cargo area and backrest
- Firm yet flexible: raised edges all the way around resist curling or buckling over time
- Environmentally friendly elastic TPE material, soft touch, skid-proof and recyclable
- All-weather protection shields the floor from dirt, mud, salt, rain, and snow
The Muslogy Cargo Net is a $25 way to stop loose gear from sliding around the R1T's bed on the highway — cheap enough to add regardless of what else you buy, and it installs using the existing bolt covers rather than adding new holes. The LASFIT Trunk Mat & Backrest Mat set does for the R1S's cargo area what the BestEvMod mat does for the R1T's bed: a scanned-to-fit TPE liner with raised edges, so muddy boots, wet gear, and folded-down seatbacks stay protected instead of collecting stains on the factory carpet.
How to choose
- R1T vs R1S first: Confirm your model before anything else — bed liners, tonneau covers, and bed-rail crossbars are R1T-only; cargo liners and most roof-only racks are R1S-only. Only Rivian's own crossbars cross over.
- OEM accessory ports vs bare roof: Rivian's crossbars use the built-in accessory ports and need no other hardware. Third-party bars either need factory roof rails or, like the KINGGERI set, mount straight to a bare roof — check which your bar assumes.
- Load rating: 330 lbs is the common ceiling for aftermarket crossbars here; confirm a rack's rating covers your rooftop box, bikes, or tent before you buy.
- Material for liners and mats: TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) with raised edges is the standard that holds up to years of mud, salt, and gear — look for a "3D scan" or "confirmed fit" claim tied to your specific model year.
- What you're actually protecting: A tonneau cover secures what's in the bed from weather and opportunistic theft; a bed mat or cargo liner just protects the surface underneath. Most R1T owners end up wanting both eventually.
- Buy in the right order: A liner or mat is the cheapest way to stop regretting a scratched factory surface, so it's worth handling first even on a tight budget. Crossbars come next once you know what you're actually planning to carry on the roof — there's no point paying for load capacity you'll never use.
Start with whichever protects what you actually haul — a liner if the bed sees daily wear, a cover if it holds things worth locking down, crossbars if a roof box or bike rack is next on the list. None of these are impulse buys at these prices, but all five are built for the truck and SUV you actually own, not a generic pickup bed that happens to be close enough.
If what you are hauling is camping gear specifically, our Rivian camping and overlanding guide covers the fridges, camp kitchen and sleep gear that go in the space these accessories protect.
