For Owners; Now that you've had your R1T/S, what options/colours do you wish you got?

[Ventura]

We were going to go with white or silver (free colors at the time) but decided to go with red (with ocean coast and 20"-"staples") because that is what we wanted. Super happy we made that decision.
I'd like more range, but haven't actually needed it. Dual motors weren't an option, but if I were buying new I'd look into it.

I had the option last minute to take a Launch Green, or Glacier White, or... stick with El Cap. A small part of me wishes I took the Launch Green in hindsight, to give the truck the added dramatic flair it deserves.

Otherwise, wouldn't change anything. Got black interior, would have been equally happy with the white had my wife/construction life been more obliging.

When the all weather mats arrived, I was torn at first about putting in as the stock mats are actually quite nice, but having had them in for a week now, they do a great job of keeping mud and sand contained for easy cleaning.

I second the Canyon Red on Ocean Coast. I sat in one at an event and it made me question everything, the Red pops on the displays

Since we bought used, we really had no choices at all. I did get the El Cap that I wanted. I had originally planned on getting the OC interior, but the model we found had the BM+DA interior and honestly, we love that so much more than the OC.

We also had planned to just get the basic 21" wheels, but the 22" Sport Dark look amazing.

I guess what I'm saying is, we didn't get what we had planned, but we love everything that we got.

No Ragerts!

We got a LG R1S, Black Mountain, 22" Brights. Originally ordered FG, but don't regret the change.

If I had a way-back machine? I'd have ordered both a T and an S. El Cap on 20" AT.

Most of us had a looong time to figure things out but didn't actually see a bunch in the wild, especially side-by-side. I did change interior back-and-forth 7 times (BM <--> FE) but decided to take a chance on Forest Edge and am very glad I stuck with it. If I had seen El Cap next to FG, I may have decided on green. My Ocean Cost rental didn't do it for me.

I went with Limestone/Ocean Coast/20" Dark ATs. One reason I went with Limestone was I thought it would be easier to keep clean, and after 5 months and no washing, it is, but now it is due. But the Dark wheels do show dirt easily, as do black cars. I normally don't like dark wheels, but think they look great with Limestone, probably the only color I would have ordered them with. I really like the Ocean Coast interior, but I am not sure I would pay the current $2k price for it. Not sure why I could justify the color charge for an exterior color but not an interior color, maybe I am just cheap and would have trouble justifying almost $4k for color changes.

I think Yellow might be the only color I haven't seen in person yet, and only briefly saw Canyon Red when I picked up at the service center. If I thought I had the desire and effort to keep the truck clean, I might choose Canyon Red if I had to do it again. I didn't like Blue nearly as much as I thought I would when I see it in person, and that was my original choice.

100% happy with everything I ordered, would do the same again. El Cap, BM, 20".

Pretty happy with my build, Ocean Coast on Limestone, 22" Brights. I wish I'd gotten the 20" wheels, and in an ideal world, I would've had a launch edition in launch green, but Limestone is a good second.

 

[ironpig]

I got the cream of the crop - Launch edition, Launch Green, Forest Edge, AT Tires, Offroad package etc.

If I would have missed out on Launch Edition, I probably would spec the same with Forest Green.
Some days I see Forest Green drive by and think maybe it's a better green for the long run.

I didn't get the black wheels when I order because I didn't like the design and the slightly plastic look to them but I think black wheels look best with Launch Green. And from a distance what bugged me about the wheel up close isn't noticeable so maybe I'd have gone with those wheels after all.

No regrets with my R1S LG/BM/Dark 22s.

It is

El cap, black mountain interior with 21s here. Not a huge regret but some days I really wish we had been patient and reserved the forest edge interior. It looks great.

 

[R1T Preds Fan]

Limestone with BM and 21’s… The only thing I wavered on heavily was the 20” AT’s and I still like their look the best but just couldn’t stomach the added cost paired with the poor efficiency… Still like that forged wheel design though… May pick up a set one day with an all season tire…

 

[ohseedee]

Only regret is no under body shield. I’ve never needed it, but wish I had it.

I think CY, 20" darks, and OC is the absolute best combo and I’m so happy I took the risk on CY sight unseen.
