@JerseyMike it’s driving me crazy - unfortunately looks like wrong weld placement on the hanger. Just don’t want to give up the truck to fix under warranty - will probably just take to an exhaust shop to fix it.

You’re seriously worried about the appearance of asymmetrical tail pipes on a truck with primer grey paint? :D

It’s a pretty easy adjustment under the truck (well, at least on the Gen2)
Are you BLIND!? - Lead Foot Grey is one of the most badass colors since 2017…

And yeah…i am upset about the alignment- some of us don’t settle for anything less than perfection especially on a $80k truck

Enjoy your day dip

Everyone check the Power Folding Mirrors. I think mine stopped working.
Adjusted the setting for folding the mirrors after locking, and the day after, they stopped working (Day 2 of ownership)
It's at tint now, so will deal with it when I get it back.

Adjusted the setting using Forscan?

Amazed some of the things that are getting past QC... loose screws for rear fender well trim... that’s an easy catch.
It’s possible that some of these things were not readily apparent and there’s also some stuff that could have happened between assembly and delivery to the customer.

I mean... it’s a great base coat ! ;-)

I was able to adjust the positioning of the gen2 exhaust - because I swapped in the AFE 2fg pipes and when I was done, they looked quite a bit like yours do now. Loosen the clamps, twist / reposition, beat with rubber mallet, repeat numerous times. It doesn’t look like it will work from underneath the truck until the rear pipes are separated. Again, I haven’t laid eyes on the underside of g3, but it might be a fairly quick fix.

And I’ll have you know I’ve been driving by braille since ’87 !

good luck with the fix!

Def. understand the comment as obviously needing to look over the truck is already driving me crazy.
However if I can check a few things and avoid having to waste time at a dealer for warranty work ill do it.

that comment is in regards to loose tranny lines and anything that would warrant a tow or dealer intervention.

checking paint, removing plastic, and going over the truck otherwise is just standard procedure!
drive the heck out of it otherwise and enjoy. Awesome machines!
Thank you for compiling this list, great work!
