@uthatch I did enjoy enjoy the CY loaner more than my 1st choice, FG, loaner, and am doubling down on LA Silver with black wheels, running boards @EV Sportline and black 20" AT forged wheels!

I tried, but none showed in the Shop. I showed incredible strength and resilience for an entire week. Far beyond what any one man can normally muster. Then I caved like a cowardly weakling when I saw that config.

But I don't care, it looks sick! 😁
Talk to me, in... say...... August! How does fire soot look on black? I went with Silver because it looks clean, even when it's dirty!

I don't think one can see fire soot on black. Might be a winner because of that right there.

Not the biggest silver fan, but stealth wrap on silver with black wheels is one of the coolest combos I’ve seen on the R1T.

Getting boards or sliders for that truck? There are three emerging options/suppliers....
No I doubt it. I'm never a fan of the look of running boards in general. And climbing into the vehicle keeps the family and I in tip top shape, they love it. Particularly good for this was a G550 4x4 Squared I had back in 2017. Getting in and out was always a crowd pleaser.

But I digress...I doubt I'll get running boards or rock sliders since I doubt I'll use it very hard off road. I'd LOVE to do a Baja trip with it, so no sliders needed there, but I don't have nearly enough faith in the charging network and don't want to donate a Rivian to Baja.

My order is the same spec as yours….for the same reasons!

I haven't posted on here much, I haven't had much to post (been reading a lot though). But I just spoke with my Guide and my truck is on a train from IL and expected at the end of February to the Costa Mesa delivery center. I was given access to the R1 Shop on 1/13, picked out a completely different config than what I had ordered on 1/20 and completed most of the 8 steps. So now it's just a waiting game. It's a bit longer than I was thinking it would take, but whatever, I made it 48 years without an R1T, another couple weeks will be fine.

I selected a triple black combination with 20" AT's. I don't know why I would do the black on black because I hate maintaining black vehicles and it'll be 1000 degrees in the summer here, but it just looked so good in the configurator. I really wanted the manual tonneau which the new config doesn't have, but my Guide assured me that it will be available soon in the Gear Shop and that I will get the old pricing on it.

Thanks @jebinc for the nudge on making the purchase. At least I think thanks, I guess it all depends on how much I like the truck!
As an old Ford salesman who got me into a 1997 F-150 that was black, he said and i quote, "Aint nothing like black" Just roll with it and if you don't, I'll take it!
Congrats!

Hey, Brian! I'm not seeing the pictured wheels on your site; perhaps I'm looking in the wrong area. Thanks for adding a link for all of us to enjoy! Yes, looking forward to hearing that my running boards have shipped! @EV Sportline

Edit: Found them!
