Trashing around town today

I was running errands around town today and saw two things:

First,
There was a twin to my truck at Target but he had Goodyear Duratrac's that were 285/75R18's (~35 tall). I thought they looked good and had actually been considering that size of tire for my next set so I made a mental note.




Second,
I saw this oddity when I went to the Ford dealer today. I'll let you guess what's wrong with this picture:



Have a good one fellas!

GF

Yup sure is! At first I thought it was a used truck and the owner had replaced the tailgate because of damage but it was brand new so I’m not sure what’s goin on there.

My guess is they had a delivery and customer complained about something on tailgate...and the tailgates matched... Quick swap... Get the truck over the curb......we used to do it with tires and rims scratched/cracked lights...etc.
