Fellow PNW owner here- I haven't experienced the problem you describe driving on wet roads. I am in conserve mode 90% of the time. Maybe just driving technique, as I drive to be efficient. I only lost traction with my 21" tires slightly once when I did a launch in sport mode on dry pavement...
There should have been screws in the mount. I just got my plates and installed yesterday- both front & back mounts had screws. Half inch long sheet metal screws.
When I got my invite to confirm my configuration back in September, my guide told me I could get the truck much sooner if I changed from manual to auto tonneau. I went ahead and changed it on the spot & had my truck 2 weeks later.

Changed my Explore/Maxpack reservation to Adventure in an attempt to get an earlier delivery window than 1st half 2023. Will see if it changes when the configurator adds delivery estimate next month. If it doesn't improve the delivery timeframe, I will likely change back to Explore.
