Agree with above and if it bothers you they will fix it. Doubt it bothers the large percentage of fleet users.


I’m gonna check mine before bringing it in for its first oil change. Making me hypochondriac.

Found another, not sure why it took a month and a half and multiple washes to notice. Looks like someone forgot to fill before paint, not big enough for me to send it into paint. Truck is dusty and hard to get a clear photo but its above the fuel fill door.

I am slightly obsessive about keeping my truck clean so I have been over every square inch multiple times. I have found no issues with panels or alignment. There are a handful of minor paint imperfections, though.

I've been washing this truck every 2 weeks, wasnt till the last time that I noticed for whatever reason, strange but definitely looks like something that should have been corrected before paint that wasn't, not something that happened after paint . I can find waves and alignment issues, to a certain extent, on every superduty I look at, although white trucks hide better I can still see them. I bet in person, I could point out half a dozen on yours haha. Every time I notice a new area I go down to the dealership and find the same thing in the same location on the trucks down there. Makes me feel better. This last one in the photo I have not found on any others.

I will steer clear of you. I'm sure once you pointed out the imperfections on my truck, that's all I'd see. Ignorance is bliss.

mine has one dimple on a crease on the bedside. the roof has a paint nipple. other than that it's all been "self" inflected stuff. Hole in the bed, scratches along the rocker panels from rocks etc. it sucks but it's a truck. i do the best i can to take care of it but stuff happens.
