I was lucky - my truck was perfect. However, a lot can happen while the vehicle is in transit from Dearborn to your dealer. I would suggest looking closely at the paint for scratches - knicks - etc. Congrats on your new ride - I'm luvin mine!!

I would also check the mileage. If you see that they did extra testing, start looking at under carriage. Lots of surface rust and road salts still on veh.

Everyone should be checking their wheels and tires closely. We occasionally get vehicles in with damaged wheels and or tires. Sometimes the tires have a scuff or slice that's hard to see. With the Raptors being 6" wider I'm sure they'll be more prone to potential damage there.

My GT350 had a rim scuff and a deep slice in the tire that I didn't see until the day after I got it home. Dealer in TN refused to cover claiming I might done it after I took delivery... Look very carefully!!
