Its high ground clearance and individual wheel control enable it to navigate rocky terrain with ease. Even the most capable vehicles and drivers, however, can get hung-up on rocks and logs, which can result serious rocker panel damage or worse. Rock sliders help guard against this off-road hazard to keep your truck protected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnsatisfied with current Rivian offerings, a team of early owners and longtime off-roaders assembled to engineer the strongest rock slider on the market that can serve as an R1S running board, yet stand up to even the most punishing abuse. What they arrived at is the latest product from Megawatt™ performance products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMake no mistake, this product is a rock slider \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003efirst\u003c\/span\u003e with the added benefit of serving as a convenient \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/electruck4x4.com\/blogs\/the-electruck-blog\/whats-the-difference-between-a-rock-slider-and-a-running-board-step\" title=\"What's the difference between a rock slider and a running board\"\u003eRivian step. Conflating these two types of accessories can put you and your truck as risk.\u003c\/a\u003e Given the weight of the Rivian R1S, and the potential for extreme forces while off-roading, we felt a purpose-built protection solution be crafted first. Only then could added features like a running board step be added.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rivian R1S has a curb weight of over 7,100 lbs. That is close the weight of a Dodge RAM 3500 MegaCab. As such, we used proven slider methods for vehicles like these to benchmark the Megawatt™ Rivian R1S rock slider. We then adapted this formula to fit the lines and unique architecture of the Rivian. The result is not only a rock solid, highly functional slider, but a side-step that looks great.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ca title=\"Installation instructions for Megawatt Rock Sliders for Rivian R1T\" href=\"https:\/\/electruck4x4.com\/blogs\/technical-articles\/megawatt%E2%84%A2-performance-rock-sliders-with-step-for-r1t-installation?utm_campaign=orders\u0026amp;utm_medium=business_card\u0026amp;utm_source=install_card\"\u003eInstallation instructions can be found here\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis product fits both first and second generation R1S's\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mw-container\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- Header Section --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mw-header\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"mw-title\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/3623\/1214\/files\/Megawatt-Final_Typemark_Full_Color_a9f17fda-9988-4685-ac05-68c20de7acbd.svg?v=1702179798\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"mw-title\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eMEGAWATT™ ROCK SLIDERS\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mw-subtitle\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eCOMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE ANALYSIS\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- Main Comparison Table --\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"mw-table\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMEGAWATT™\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCOMPETITOR 1\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCOMPETITOR 2\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCOMPETITOR 3\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003c!-- Construction --\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"mw-feature-row\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"mw-feature-name\"\u003e🔨 Construction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"mw-advantage\"\u003e✅ Fully enclosed tubing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"mw-advantage\"\u003e✅ Fully enclosed tubing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"mw-disadvantage\"\u003e❌ Press broken sheet metal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"mw-disadvantage\"\u003e❌ Press broken sheet metal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"5\" class=\"mw-why-matters\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhy It Matters:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sheet metal is often used because it costs less than enclosed tubing.
