Maisto 31466GRN Rivian R1T review: green finish and storage features, with a scale caveat

A dark green body and light two-tone cabin make this R1T an appealing departure from a black-interior pickup. The original inspection of a matching green Maisto is particularly positive about its paint. Before putting it into a strict 1:18 lineup, however, resolve the scale: the merchant labels 31466GRN as 1:18, while the inspected Rivian-store model is described as 1:20.

The green-and-white R1T inspection shows the matching green finish, wheel design and light cabin, but the samples were bought through Rivian. That purchasing channel matters when checking the retail Special Edition’s equipment. The review demonstrates a gear tunnel and an extra compartment inside the front trunk; the merchant’s opening-parts list names only hood, front doors and tailgate.

The green sample has strengths beyond the openings

The inspection finds the metallic paint clean on its green example and appreciates the contrast with the light gray-and-black cabin. It also explicitly notes limited steering travel on the green model. The tailgate has more play than the white sample’s, although it still stays shut; that is a fit qualification, not a report of a tailgate falling open.

Some minor marks discussed in the video concern the white truck, while reports of scratched roofs come secondhand from forums. Neither is evidence of a paint or roof failure on this green example. Similarly, tool-assisted opening in the video is not a manufacturer-approved procedure to repeat on a new purchase.

For a simpler documented pickup opening, the brown-and-cream F-150 has an explicit opening tailgate. Its usable bed capacity still needs measurement rather than inference from overall size.
