Rivian’s new fold-and-stow electric kitchen lets you cook atop your tailgate

Simply called the Travel Kitchen, it folds out to span the length of the tailgate and features two induction burners, a cutting board that stows away in an organizer drawer, and a pop-out bar for hanging a towel. The unit needs a three-prong 120V power source with 15A of current to work, which you can get from a Rivian vehicle, campsite power, or an F-150 Lighting, Cybertruck, or other vehicle with capable onboard power or a generator.

The cooktops have nine heat levels and share 1500W of power, but a single-running cooktop can take all the energy for maximum heat. It has a “touchscreen power button” that only activates when induction cookware (not included) is set atop the unit and shuts off when removed for safety.

The Travel Kitchen also comes with a stow-away LED lighting kit that hangs off included poles and a carry case so you can pack away the whole setup in any trunk, EV truck frunk, or even Rivian’s gear tunnel. The accessory is available now from Rivian for $1,400 and is part of the automaker’s expanding Adventure Gear line of products.
