The Essentials (every Rivian should carry these)
-
Tire Deflator/Inflator
Rivian doesn’t include anything to air down your tires, so this is the perfect accurate tool. Comes with a valve stem quick connect.
-
Auto-Stop Tire Deflator
An alternative option to the other tire deflator, this version allows you to set the PSI, and will stop once the tire reaches that pressure.
It’s convenient and our preferred way to air down, however, it doesn’t allow for fine adjustments unlike the other option.
-
Tire Repair Kit
A must-have kit to plug small holes. This won’t help with a large gouge, but will save you from nails or small punctures.
-
Sidewall Patch Kit
Repair sidewalls and larger punctures without removing the tire. A MUST HAVE for every vehicle. It will save you an expensive tow truck, and is in addition to the smaller Tire Repair Kit.
-
Hitch Receiver Recovery Point
Rivians lack rear recovery points. This is the perfect solution for any rear recovery or tow.
The Extras & Upgrades
-
MOORFlate Quad+
If you frequently head off-road, this kit makes airing down/up much more convenient. This allows you to air down all four tires at once which helps reduce chances of pops and gives you a smoother ride.
