Terrible paint quality

[NASSTY]

Yes the dealership is going to to care of it under a warranty claim of course. Appears if the paint process was "rushed" according to the dealership so that the orders could be fulfilled on time or close to being on time due to the chip shortage.

Toyota doesn't have to rush the process because of small demand.

Painted fender flares? On an off road truck? Now THAT was stupid. Ford is making a lot of unforced errors lately.

This is the first I have ever seen/heard of paint peeling off a fender flare on any Raptor, which, unless this becomes a common issue on early Gen 3 trucks, is not at all representative of the brand IMO.

Sucks for the OP though, I would definitely be upset if I were him.

But you are…………wait for it………

lol. Yeah I’m waiting for it. It’s cool. But cmon guys. We can criticize all the brands. It’s ok. It’s just funny how weird people get when it comes to car brands.

I’m buying a raptor. Will deal with these types of things as they come. I’m still a believer that if you take care of your vehicle, no matter the brand, it will take care of you

That seems so odd. I wouldn’t have expected it to be painted at all. Clearly it will be fixed was this a customer order or dealer stock?

What’s your blend date? I’m guess these are prepped and painted in giant lots, probably won’t be the only one.

As someone who has had the pleasure of my tundras excellent build quality, this definitely concerns me considering I’ve never owned Ford before.

I’m not trying to start a flame war or anything, but things like this are why Toyota owners are always hesitant to jump to ford.

Really? A $80k+ truck has to deal with that crap?

Enough with the Toyota BS guy, you people are so brainwashed you won’t even acknowledge your own issues. Tundra build quality is anything but “excellent”; panel gaps are a mile wide and the interior is made from playskool grade plastic. Never mind the fact that the frames rot out at the first sign of moisture.

Speaking of paint issues, Toyota can’t even keep paint on their Tacos, and these are not caused by COVID demand, it’s simply poor quality:

So earlier this week I came in to the dealership to have my third brake light replaced due to water leaking into the cab during our rain storm. Seems...

Really? A $55k compact pickup has to deal with that crap??

Gen 2 is the same, it hasn’t been an issue.

This is an inconvenience that will be fixed under warranty. I had the bumper on my 2020 repainted because of paint chip issues under the headlights. Just one of those things.

Really? They look like gray plastic to me. I scratched the living hell out of mine and they seem the some color underneath. When I drilled holes for the mudflaps the shavings were magentic gray. I figured they were just solid plastic. They sure scratch easily like plastic does.
