You must be referring to your own posts. You have zero credentials in the automotive industry, yet you continue to post baseless speculation and just plain false information. Every time I provide fact based data proving you wrong, you change the subject to something else. You're grasping at straws. RAM is moving HD production back to Michigan, while your precious Toyota is moving Taco production to Mexico.

I almost forgot you're a big time Subaru fanboy. Here's your japanese "reliability"; complete garbage with worst in class fuel economy.

Almost $50,000 for that unreliable, fuel guzzling piece of trash with a CVT to boot, which typically fail right around 100K miles out of warranty. Anyone who buys that over an Explorer is clueless or just plain stupid.

For reference, even Subaru's "CEO of America" pawn admits their quality is horrendous.

Wait wait can we get back to the topic for one second....my Raptor was built in August delivered in September to dealer with me purchasing it 3 days after delivery...my only gripe or question, is it common with all F-150 trucks have a gap when glove box is closed? Once glove box is closed and looking directly down at it there is a gap where I can sort of see what’s in the glove box.
Outside of that I did a complete walk through of the exterior of the truck with a buddy of mine that also has F-150 and everything looks flush.

Mine was like that.

Remove the glovebox door and reinstall. Door may not be installed correctly on the hinge.

As @JohnyPython mentioned, check the hinge. If that's not the cause, Ford issued a TSB to correct the issue.

Yes, but the truck still shares its basic manufacturing and design with the standard $30,000 F-150. The materials are better but you’re not buying a vehicle that’s designed to a $70,000 starting price point.



Both of those issues would have been covered under 3/36. Unlike Toyota, where the paint falls off out of warranty:

You’ve got to be kidding. Apparently you’ve never been inside a Tundra or Titan, they’re dead last in quality and their interior plastics are playskool grade. Toyota can’t even keep a frame or leaf springs under their “trucks” without them rotting through, you call that “quality”? You’re clueless.

Titan is a joke, even their press models, which are vetted just as all OEMs do, broke down during both long term reviews. Nissan consistently ranks poorly in vehicle quality and dependability.

Look at that body and chassis integrity!

I picked up my fresh off the line 2020 802A in April. The only problem I had was the hood and passenger door needed to be realigned to correct a poor gap. My paint looks amazing since I had it corrected and ceramic coated. I love the truck.

‘Fart if they could have only adjusted your gaps early on. You might have looked amazing too lmao
