New Rivian R1T Pickup Truck Renders Show Camper, Flatbed & More

The Rivian R1T electric pickup truck can apparently be anything you want it to be. Flatbed truck, cargo hauler, camper, toy mover or even seemingly an SUV-like thingy.

Is it a truck, a camper or an SUV?

It wasn't long ago when we learned of a nifty patent filed by Rivian. The automaker's patent envisions a modular system for its R1T electric pickup truck.

The basic idea is that the R1T can be configured in multiple different ways depending on your needs. Need a flatbed truck? The R1T has you covered. Need to haul your toys, like some electric motorcycles or ATVs? The Rivian truck can do that too.

From those patents, our friends over at RivianForums.com dreamed up some slick renders that provide with a look at the various R1T configurations. Here's the whole family rendered below:

One of the renders appears to show a sort of SUV-like look. This would only be possible if the rear section of the R1T cab was removable in some sort of way. That seems highly unlikely, especially since the automaker already has the R1S electric SUV, but still, take a look at it below. Maybe it's more a camper than SUV?
