Oh Nooo!!!
Well... My new truck has a blemish. In a hurry to get the kids to their soccer game, (late as usual) I pulled my new loaded Lariat into its tight garage space. And sure enough, I ran into a bicycle and dented the front fender. 
What a sick feeling I have now. 6000 miles and the best looking truck around! $460 at the dealership to repair, of course a $500 deductible for insurance. Moral of the story, pay attention when driving your new truck. Don't do what I did. Sorry I just needed to vent.

The week after I got my new FX4, I wasn't used to the size of the truck. I was trying to back into a parking space with a guard rail behind it. I kept creeping back, thinking I had enough room, until...SCRAPE! D'oh! Most of the scrape wiped off, but there is still a little scratch there haunting me.

Depending on the size of the dent, you may want to check into some dent repair services like "Dr. Dent, or Dr. Vinyl" or whatever. I had them fix a small dent on my front fender (Mountaineer) and I think it cost $100 or so. Now if the paint is broken it may be more. I also had them roll out the right rear corner of Aerostar when I had it several years ago and it cost me $75. and I then used some touchup paint on it.

Backed my old chevy into a concrete and steel pole... bent the pole. Ran into the tire of a tahoe in a new ram... dented the tar out of the fender. Just hoping that this isnt a trend in new trucks.

Now you can use your truck like a truck and not worry about it. Last November when the truck was 2 months old a Jeep hit a deer in the other lane and threw it into my drivers side door panel. $850 of damage.
