So should I stick it out with my R1T Tri with 22” dark sports, or take the buyback offer and take one of these: it’s tough deciding (the dune would likely end up costing a couple of $k). I do like the storm blue/slate-sky, but I really like the idea of a more durable interior, and a tonneau that’s hopefully a bit better. I’d probably put lower rolling resistance tyres on a dune though.
Why the buy back offer?

It’s cool and all but it’s just got too much of a Nazi Afrika Korp vibe for me….

Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t like those rims. They remind me of the flimsy rims a donut is on. Or back in the 70s, when someone lost a hubcap.

Maybe an unpopular opinion but I'm not a fan of the color. I much prefer the deeper color of the Quicksand Tacoma. The Rivian is just too pale.

Yeah, ?. I love the Toyota, hate the rivian. Could be because the Toyota actually resembles the tan we had in the Marines.

Color matched wheels. Distinctive Light Bar up front. Steering wheel with lots of actual buttons. Wide wheelbase. Screams badass.

This Dune SE has got major 93 Pontiac Grand Prix SE vibes baby! My first love and I miss that thing.
Power antenna and a button on the steering wheel to advance to the next song on a cassette tape (it searched for the brief silent pause between songs). Airbags AND antilock brakes. Moonroof (missing on the picture below from the web). 0-60 in a blistering 8.4 seconds on the 3.1L V6. This car was ahead of its time!

My name is Mike, and I have a (car) problem
Maybe it's just me, but I don't understand hype over a new colour (for any vehicle, anytime). Anyone can wrap their own in any colour they can imagine, anytime.
This is meant to give that extra little nudge to someone who is on the fence about upgrading.

Also, it's fun.

We are expecting to get our delivery date tomorrow for my wife’s new R1S Dune. Gotta say I love it (though it’s hers and so what matters is that she loves it). And, yes, apocalyptic vibe for sure, but the times are what they are.

As much as I like my dual R1T and as much as it has “more than enough” power for me, imma think I’ll be borrowing this one on the weekends.

Hearing aid beige. Cant be unseen. :)
Can it be unheard of?

I think it's pretty cool the whole match up. I got forest green with the green interior and it all goes together so nice. I see the attraction.

Love the wheels… If they offer them for purchase in Launch Green, I think my dark ATs would become my winter set..
