Lol it was the paint issues that I thought were F’d up, the metal lodged into the rotor or whatever- user error I suppose, looked like a piece of adjustable shelving honestly

If it's a factory paint issue, that doesn't seem like it would be because it's a first year vehicle. I mean, there's nothing really new about the paint and decals on the Gen 3, and something like this could easily happen at any time. The Bronco's hard top issues would be a first year issue. You might be able to make an argument that it's a COVID slack in QC, but you'd need more than one example to make that case.

I do think you have a point about 1st year vehicles, but not good examples.

Ok…but neither issue was a factory defect…

The dude is a moron, video is clickbait. Based on how he drives and treats his vehicles, I’m not surprised he damaged the trans in his TRX.
That is funny. I didn’t mean to ruffle
Feathers too much- I thought it was kinda funny tbh….and he absolutely had way more issues w/ TRX than previous gen2 Raptor which is exactly why he went & got a Gen3 to own/review

But he didn't review a Gen 3, he ran over garbage because he was sipping his vanilla latte when he should of been watching the road and then spills his coffee on the hood of his new truck, this guy is a moron. Prove me wrong!

He's overreacting to the street sign corner bar he ran over. The adhesive/paint isn't a defect either - - look what he's parking under. That looked like sap to me.
I agree. Decals don't come with such an excessive amount of adhesive to cause all that damage.

This is clickbait trash.

He ran over a street sign and there is some kind of dribble visible on his black truck? And for this, we get 10 minutes of "You guys won't believe it when you see it!" and wringing of hands, hyperventilating, "I'm so upset right now", etc. Give me a break.
Ben Hardy has been known for his click-bait videos, with this being a prime example. He runs over road debris and complains that his 100 mile truck is already "having issues".

I seriously can’t stand Ben Hardy. I wish people would stop watching his videos. He gives us people from UT a bad name.

Guy runs over part of a metal sign and is upset when the shock guard has a small gash in it. Not sure how you could be upset with Ford for that. The shock guard didn’t look bad at all considering what happened. The TRX has many off-road miles and the shock guards still look good…..but he never ran over a metal sign with the TRX. Not sure how you can make the comparison there.

The residue from the graphics really sucks for sure. But I’m sure it can be fixed with out paint. Hopefully it can anyways.
How do you not see that residue when you picked up the truck ?? Not to mention now that Ford will give him a hard time with that residue. Ford will turn around and say he put something on the hood and it caused those runs !! Good luck with that ..
