Issues from Factory

[Cotaco]

With my time spent on this forum and around other social media, I seem to be noticing the trend of the QC not being great from the factory on all these trucks. Whether it be damage on arrival, loose wiring harnesses, cold start exhaust issues, tailpipes misaligned, etc..

Feel like i need some reassurance on these being somewhat isolated issues for the 2021 deliveries (since i don't hear much about trucks with no issues). See poll below

No reassurance. Happens almost every year in small batches. Covid may be increasing it some.

After my yes vote we are sitting 6-0. But all of my issues seem to be minor/only annoying, or easily fixable. Unfortunately, the dealer I bought it from doesn't want to fix them for me yet. But I'll wear them down.

There's a reason so many people say not to buy the first year of a new model. You're learning it now.

None of the minor issues I have had have made me regret my decision to buy my G3.

Me Either, I went thru the checklist that one thread has created and found a couple of small things. Will get the power gen fan reprogrammed. Other than that, it has been a great truck. I had more issues with other vehicles that were in multiple year production. Don't see any real issues that make me re-think my purchase.

I finally received my Gen 3 and drove from CO to CT via Dallas. Its everything and more than I hoped. Only question is what is the blowing/fan like sound from the drivers side rear seat area when inside the truck. it's most likely operator error but would love to stop it.

Things to check after taking delivery

With a handful of us taking delivery of our trucks and experiencing random things that the dealer didnt do or missed durning the PDI, or assembly line miss haps, I thought it might be good to start a list of items for others to check when taking delivery or first get the truck home. Reading...

It's been mentioned a million times (almost), it's the inverter fan which is a programming software fix, your dealer will do for free.

Knock on wood - short of a retainer clip being loose on a couple items the truck has been solid. The fit and finish is much better on this truck than my 2018. Go figure.
