Must-have interior organizers and storage solutions for the Rivian R2?

Seconding the recommendation above about being careful with early accessories! Honestly, coming from a safety-first perspective, that open floor under the console is a bit of a worry for me. You gotta be REALY careful that loose items dont slide forward under the brake pedal during hard braking... it's a serious liability.

I'd suggest waiting for a dedicated BestEvMod Under Console Storage Organizer Tray specifically for the R2 that has high walls to keep things contained. Also, for camping, please dont just toss loose bins in the back. Use something heavy-duty like the YETI LoadOut GoBox 30 Gear Case and actually secure it to the tie-down points. I also use Nite Ize Gear Tie 18-Inch Reusable Rubber Twist Ties to keep smaller gear from shifting around during turns. Safety and reliability are key when you're off-grid or even just commuting. Just my two cents tho... stay safe out there! 👍

yo, oh man, i am SO hyped for the R2! i totally get the concern about that open console space though. i've had some annoying experiences with my R1S where things literally went flying during a sharp turn... not a vibe. honestly, i've tried a few setups and here is my take on what might work for the R2 once the accessories drop.

Here's what I recommend based on my current gear:

1. BestEvMod Center Console Organizer Tray for Rivian R1S vs Abstract Ocean Center Console Divider
- **BestEvMod:** i mean, it looks super OEM and the felt is nice, but unfortunately the fitment on mine was kinda loose. it rattled a bit which drove me crazy on the highway. not as good as expected, tbh.
- **Abstract Ocean:** i'd probably go with this one. it's way more rugged. it’s basically just solid plastic but it fits TIGHT. no sliding around at all, which is highkey what you want for that open floor space.

2. Thule Go Box Large Car Organizer for the trunk
- I tried some cheap generic bins from a big box store and they were trash... they cracked after one winter trip. the Thule one is seriously worth it for the camping vibe. it stays put and matches the aesthetic way better.

3. Luno Life Car Camping Mattress
- If you're doing the fold-flat thing, keep an eye out for their R2 version. i had issues with a generic air mattress popping, but this one is literally built for car camping.

anyway, i think we'll see BestEvMod and Abstract Ocean announce R2-specific stuff pretty soon after launch. what's the first road trip you're planning once you get yours?? gl! 👍

> I’m a bit worried about the open space under the center console and how to best utilize it without things sliding around every time I take a sharp turn.

Hmm, I've had a different experience with these open floor layouts, and tbh, I'd actually suggest a different approach to that space under the console. I get the urge to fill every nook and cranny with organizers, especially since the R2 is more compact than the R1S, but you really gotta be careful with that specific area.

In my current setup (another EV with a similar pass-through), I initially went all-out with some custom-fit bins I found online. But man, during one heavy braking event, a small item I thought was "organized" actually hopped out of the tray and slid right toward my driver-side footwell. It was seriously sketchy having something rolling around near the pedals. Now, I highkey prefer keeping that space TOTALLY clear or only using it for one large, soft item like a bag or jacket that definitely won't move.

From a technical standpoint, you also wanna make sure ur not blocking any floor-level vents or potential sensor paths that Rivian might have tucked under there. Adding a bunch of rigid plastic bins might look tidy, but it can create new rattle points or even interfere with how ur feet move between pedals in an emergency. Honestly, the dual gloveboxes are gonna be ur best friend for the small stuff. I'd suggest sticking to those for the daily carry and keeping the floor open to avoid any hazards. Just my two cents... safety first, right?

What do you think about keeping it minimal to avoid the clutter risk? Peace.

Totally agree with toxvuiddpz about the safety aspect. Having stuff roll under the pedals is terrifying and honestly a huge liability if you dont secure things properly. Im pretty satisfied with how some of my older gear has held up over years of trail driving so I plan on carrying that over to the R2 once it arrives. Directly addressing the clutter without adding a bunch of cheap plastic is the way to go. Here are a few things on my list that actually stay put and match the rugged vibe:

• Peak Design Tech Pouch is basically perfect for all the charging cables and small gear. It fits nicely in those deep gloveboxes and doesnt rattle around like a plastic tray would.
• Instead of bins, I use YETI Crossroads Packing Cubes. Theyre soft-sided so they wont scratch the interior panels but theyre tough as nails for camping gear or emergency kits.
• For that open floor space under the console, I usually toss a Carhartt Legacy Gear Bag 14-Inch there. It has a grip base so it doesnt slide during turns and fits the aesthetic way better than a generic tub. Simple, high-quality textile bags usually work way better than custom molded plastic in the long run imo.

> I’m particularly curious about solutions for the center console—maybe some custom-fit dividers or a hidden tray for smaller items?

There's a great resource at "Rivian Stories" or "RivianTrackr" online; they usually maintain crowdsourced accessory lists. Based on my years in these forums, I would suggest being cautious before buying "custom fit" gear for the R2 just yet. Since the car isn't out, dimensions might change. Honestly, make sure to wait for real owner reviews; it's better for ur wallet.

If ur looking for rugged, high-value gear, you might want to consider the YETI Camino 35 Carryall Tote Bag for that floor space. It's basically built like a tank. For organizing the trunk, the FORTEM Car Trunk Organizer is a great budget alternative to the "luxury" brands. Also, keep an eye on Etsy for a 3D-printed R2 Center Console Tray later. idk if that helps, but dont rush into buying yet!! gl!

Totally agree about being cautious with that open floor space—nothing ruins the vibe like a stray water bottle rolling under the pedals during a quick stop. In my experience, most of those early-to-market plastic trays are just rattle-traps anyway so I’ve moved away from buying 'off-the-shelf' solutions entirely. I’ve found that DIY-ing custom inserts with high-density foam or 3D printing my own modular brackets is SO much better because you get that perfect flush fit that actually looks OEM. I’m already planning to CAD some specific mounts for my gear once I get my hands on the R2 because honestly most retail organizers just don't match the Rivian build quality and I’d rather spend a weekend tinkering to get it right than settle for a generic bin that slides around tbh. TL;DR: Skip the cheap plastic and DIY your own custom foam or 3D-printed inserts for a truly integrated, rattle-free look.

Same here!
