We are almost ready to put down our deposit but need to know if we will be able to put a 5th wheel hitch in the truck? We have a camper and need to be sure we can tow it! Feed back is appreciated!

I have not seen the R1T in person, but doubt it could be equipped to pull a 5th wheel as either of the two traditional mounting methods would conflict with the bed tire storage. Also, you want the pivot point to be slightly in front of the rear wheels, which if it could be mounted would limit you to only a gooseneck 5th wheel, not a camper 5th wheel (slightly in front of the rear tires appears to be pretty close to the rear window which would be a problem cornering with a camper which typically takes about 36-48 inches from the pivot point to the rear window).
That's an interesting question Jaymie. I'm myself am not sure if the Rivian will have the option of being equipped with a king pin. I guess it would be nice...we'll have to wait and see...
