About a year ago I was looking at picking up a new Toyota Tundra. The one I wanted with would've come out to 75k! I think you got the better vehicle. I went with a significantly less expensive 2019 Ford F150 Platinum.
What size tires do you have on there? They look small in comparison to the wheel wells.
That's a 33 inch tire. I also have a 33 inch tire with 17 inch rim on my F150. I'm contemplating a 34 to 35 inch tire soon as I due for new set of tires. My Falken Wildpeak AT3W's seemed to wear fast / 40k miles.
No jakes on these trucks. If diesel they have exhaust brakes plus trailer tow mode. GM will downshift when brakes are applied and exhaust brake is active. Don't know about the other brands.
Gasoline engine trucks have trailer mode only which uses the transmission for braking.
I have a 2011 Dodge 550 with 6.7 diesel and manual transmission. You would be amazed at how well the exhaust brakes works in any gear.

Phone's all hooked up! Our manual is electronic and comes up on the big ol' screen in the dash.
Fancy! I feel like I should be wearing a top-hat and monocle just to respond. 😁

The manual would be thicker than a vision impaired volume of War and Peace.

They're 275/70R18's, load range E. I had the option of going with 20's but they were a bunch more money and really not worth it just to look fancy.

Can't argue with that!
My 2018 f150 just got new shoes. Tad bit north of$1200.00 for a set of michelins 18 inch . Can't image what the 20s are .
They would cost 2 inches more than the 18’s.
Cough! Cough! Choke! Gasp!
You boys must all be high rollers. I'm fixin' the AC on my '94 F250 right now so it can make a trip to CA.
…….And here's yer Jake Brake. In the picture there's two cylinders worth of Comealong (Cummins) engine brake.

With the 18" wheels you get a taller tire side wall than with the 20's, which equals a smoother ride.
I had to have the 20's because they look cool, and then drove my sisters exact truck as mine and hers has 18's.
The ride is better with the 18's when comparing.
I would not have believed it would be that big a difference, but found it much better ride with the 18's.
Handling is better with the 20's, because of the lower sidewall, but that really wasn't even a consideration for us. It's a truck, not a sports car!
