Hello everyone,
Recently joined as my search for a Raptor has narrowed down. I have been wanting a Raptor for quite some time. I missed out a few weeks ago on an extremely clean 2021 with very low mileage in South Carolina. If someone on here got that one, congrats!
This week I went to North Carolina to pick up a 2024. Because I am a little OCD I checked the vehicle top to bottom. I found a flaw in the roof channel. It was a glob of paint and it was apparent it came from the factory that way, no fault of the dealer.
They took the truck back to their body shop and they tried to remove it although it left area that made touch up difficult and really needed to be sanded and painted.
I made the decision that it would be something that would always bother me so we declined to take the truck.
Right now, we are waiting for the identical build in transit to another dealer. Hopefully third times the charm!
A lot of good information on this site, and had I not read some of the post delivery issues, I might not have climbed up in the bed and looked at the roof.
Thank you to all!
Ed
