Cool Tailgate bushing missing.

I have had my 2006 F250 for only a month and I notice that the taigate wasn't closing nicely sometimes and the right side latching post bushing was being torn up, then I notice that the lower pivot bushing is missing, gone, as though it never had one, a good 1/2 inch of clanking slop. Also the upper right side of the tail gate and the truck bed have rubbed some paint off. not even 2000 miles yet! To top that off I see my front differential vent tube has been torn off of the barb on top of the diff. That sucks, first day off work I will enjoy a trip to the dealer, maybe I can get it fixed and detailed for free. Anybody else have this issue?
