For daily use, going with the Rivian R1T. It's rated at 7500kg which is enough for my short-term purposes. If I need to go longer distances or need a jump in capacity (hard to imagine, but...) then it'll be a good old-fashioned F-150/350.
Hey! Man I appreciate it, but sadly I've sold the truck. I wasn't getting out anywhere near as often as I wanted, needed something with a ton more towing capacity and just had to make the call.
i posted the details of my install, if it helps.

i think the body color matters a lot when considering matched fenders. mine is code orange, and i vastly prefer the contrast the oem fenders provide.
that said, i think that’s why this build looks fantastic. the body color has that heritage feel to it, and the 39s nicely fill out the wheel...
i'm not quite that tall, so it'll be me climbing up onto the rear tire to get that stuff stowed. i toyed with the idea of getting some additional t-slot and making a mount for the pakrax, but it doesn't do much to improve the handle position. these are the grip 4s, and if i have to scale to the...

i generally like the TC channel’s content but on the oem flares i agree with op. liability or not on tighter trails, they’re such a big part of the raptor’s physical character i think it’d be substantially less raptorish to body match them.
that said i did go with full ppf, and actually...

6. Go to bed, wake up the next morning to find the left-hand B pillar, door, and A pillar scuff trim all removed. Oh yes: your pretty much useless but hella cool looking grab handle has to come off before you can loosen the trim by the dead pedal to the point where you can shimmy...
PART 2: Wiring the compressor
I totally get it now. The reason the AGS video doesn't show the wiring process is because it is no joke. It's done, and I'm sure others will get it done faster, but I spent most of today doing this.
