Quality Control Issues

I just got my new 08 XL back in Feb. This is a company vehicle, and over the weekend I noticed on the passenger side my 4X4 sticker is the red off road, and on the driver side I have just the plain black and white sticker. And I have the off road package. How did this get out. My question is should I go back to Ford and have one of them changed to match? I should have caught it when I picked up the truck, but it was raining and I was in a hurry.

There is also another guy at work that has an 07 SD XL, that on the passenger door is the PSD badge but not one on the driver door. And to beat all his engine is a 5.4L.

We Make that Joke all the time here at the Dealer Ship. After a 40Hr. wk @ $56.50 per/hr you must get sick of your job and can't wait for friday to end. Don't Fret, they miss build stupid stuff like that once in a while, it always ends up being trim and name plate issues. Bring it to the dealer and they take care of the rest.

i work for a ford dealership in pa. the second shelby gt500 we got in had the nameplate on upside down on the decklid. also a few years back had a taurus come in off the carrier with a dark grey leather seat in the driver side and the whole interior was tan cloth. makes you wonder how they missed that on huh?
