I know this is kind of minimal, but in the past week (after three months of ownership) it has dawned on me how smooth and elegant the power steering is. It makes the truck feel so much lighter.

Ah, memories... Way back when they had a software issue where the power steering was literally never turned off, effortless steering all the time, even when you didn't want to.

The warranty.

I kid, I kid...



I'm a big fan of the torque that allows a such a thiccc vehicle to launch like a sports car.

My wife has mentioned she is a big fan of the suspension that allows it to both be well controlled, soft, and solid.

The kids really like the USB port and hooks on the backs of the front seats. I have one of my Seat Back Tablet Mounts on each. They get in, MagSafe their iPhones to it, and both charge and YouTube at the same time. They refuse to ride in our other vehicle now.

When I see my R1S in my garage, (waited 3 yrs)
once in a while, I pinch myself thinking "It's real that it is here, right?"

it's a feature to me.

The power. I like being able to zip around just about everyone. Very few people expect that speed, and almost no one expects it out of a truck

Versatility.

It’s fast when I need/want it. I don’t have to worry about going off-road. R1T has plenty of storage. Looks great

Was unaware it was exempt until now, this truck keeps getting better and better! ?
I found out today when I was doing my taxes and trying to deduct the RTA tax, but there was no RTA line on the registration. So then I started to dig into it a bit more when I discovered that it was so heavy that it went beyond the weight limit for a passenger truck to be taxed the RTA tax. Haha.

Not having to pay what is likely $950+ a year easily makes it an awesome feature.

I already pay through the nose on my other vehicles.
