Ford Quality Job 1

[BaseRaptor]

My 2022 XLT Lightning has perfect shut lines. All gaps, body styling lines and window trim alignment are spot on. It must have been assembled on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday

Nothing like having socket marks on my 90k new truck.

Talk about inflation. Your truck went up $3000 in only 20 minutes!

While my issue wasn’t this bad, after about 6 months of ownership a passenger of mine pointed out that my rear passenger door seemed off. 1 of the 2 bolts holding the door on became loose. I just made sure to realign and snugged it back up with a socket. Not the end of the world as others have stated. Is it ok on a truck at this price point? Probably not, but it’s also not something worth running for the hills considering it’s completely reversible from your own driveway. All automakers have these issues - my vettes front bumper alignment is vomit worthy and that’s a widespread issue.

It’s just adjustment. Not really a big deal but they should have done it before shipping. I needed a door adjust on a 140k Range Rover. I know it frustrating

You guys don't expect much for your money.

You can’t anymore. Quality isn’t a priority when they can sell everything they make and more

Haha yet people keep getting into debt slavery for these things. Amazing world we live in

My 22 Gen 3 was flawless. Couldn’t be happier.

Bidens America….

Yeah, it’s bidens fault the machine robots or assembly line tech didn’t align the door fully…..

Most of us recognize that the door just needs to be adjusted on a new vehicle that starts under $35k so we just don't see this as the big 'gotcha' that some others do. The 'complicated' solution is to point it out to the dealer and ask them to adjust the door parts that are designed to be adjusted so as to avoid the problem.

Is it a big deal? No. Would I gladly go through the painful ordeal of adjusting a door if I could find a dealer willing to sell me a 37PP for MSRP? Absolutely.
