@snazzyq Totally with you on the downsides, it's why we went with the R1T. If you don't carry a spare tire, there’s a ton of room even under the bed where the spare tire well is.
We got our R1T in the same color (but with the dark off-road wheels), then applied an XPEL stealth wrap (with the savings from pre-order pricing we had). You might want to consider it. This color in matte is 🔥.
