Quality Issue or normal?

[swilly]

Hello

I picked up my 2023 Avalanche a couple of weeks ago and loving it. However today a friend noticed that some plastic piece was hanging from under the truck. When I looked it looked as if the fox shocks plastic pieces wasn't fully unwrapped. This lead me to notice this area on the suspension that seemed "manually" cut. Does everyone else look like this or should I be concerned?


I tried to circle those areas in red.

Both sides of mine look like that. Looks great on a 80-90k truck, right?

My pos 37 looks like that. Sure these aren't made in someone's garage. Truck is not worth 50k. Subpar quality on every part of the truck. Name one quality component on a gen 3 made by Ford. Corrosion on all aluminum parts, rusted parts, missing features, cheap ass leather wrinkled seats, cheap carpet looks like it was torn by hand, crap ass radio, poor paint quality, misaligned body panels, exposed electrical wiring, etc. Only good thing it has going is performance and resale value.

Oh man yea I've always known about the the Ford's rust issues.... can we spray it with something to prevent and or prolong life?

I couldn’t agree more with both statements…that your truck is a pos and it’s not worth 50k. Since we’re on the same sheet here, sell it to me for less than 50K. Meanwhile, you find another truck that’s Yoshi worthy. Pm for arrangements…patiently waiting my friend.

This stuff is easy and works well. I did my '20 the day after I took delivery. I did about 10 minutes of sanding, pulled the labels off the axle, then sprayed it. It still looks great today. Looks like it's freshly done.

I would sell it to you for 50k , but you already have a gen 3.

Never mind what I have…that’s besides the point. And it’ll be for less than 50k, as we agreed…

Then why did you buy it? Obviously you just want to complain. The majority of the “issues” you list aren’t even legitimate concerns.
