I still have to wonder about the 5 bolt pattern, being able to pull an 18k rig out of a ditch seems to me to put a lot of pressure on the lugs. Even if it's AWD

I have similar concerns about the powertrain and even the chassis.
But a semi without a trailer can weigh around 10,000 lbs on the low end, about what the R1T is rated for (11,000 lbs)

I don't pretend to know much about Semis but I did derive 18k from a few sources seemed like most of them were in the higher range if they had a cab. In any case getting a semi to hop over a curb seems like a lot of pressure. I'm sure it's not evenly distributed but 225 ft/lb of torque per wheel is a lot of potential pressure on those wheels with 5 lugs!

You'd think that the semi was contributing forward propulsion too; the effective number of pounds towed by the R1T might be much lower than the weight of the semi.
