19 year old left sun roof open all night. Rained all night, puddles of water on rug and seats. Any recommendations on how to dry out truck. I did as much as possible with shop vac.

Shop vac, leave in garage/outdoors (no rain!) with windows or doors open. May also want to pull up the carpeting and see if there are any damp spots under there to dry up with a towel.
How long does the 19yo lose driving privileges for?

Packing electronics in a bed of uncooked rice is a go-to for removing moisture.
Why not try the same on your rugs; a simple vacuum job will clean up afterward.

I'd grab my dehumidifier out of the basement and let in run in the garage for a while - heck you could even set it in the 3rd row area, just make sure you have the drain hose running out!
my drains clogged in a gx470 i had. Remove the seats and pull up carpet. You really need to do this. if it starts smelling, it'll never go away.
It's easier than it sounds. 4 bolts for seat seat, and unclip the door sills, carpet should pull up easy. either keep it in the sun (if you don't live somewhere humid. But if you do, get some 15$ box fans and direct them at the wet spots.
If you do it quick enough, and right, you'll be fine.

Has it stopped raining? Park it in the sun with all the windows cracked open about a inch, you need it to get hot inside but have room for the moisture to escape.
Your electrics are fine, they will dry, as well as the carpet, leather is easy, as long as you take care of it water will not hurt it.
