1.5 years of ownership, 28 k miles

-flat black exhaust tips started coming off at like 10k miles, completely gone on the passenger side now.
-red stripe on steering wheel wearing like shit
-gloss black b pillars scratched up after the first wash, toast after a few washes, they are wrapped now cause they were that bad
-paint sucks balls and scratches easily
-tires toast after 26k miles
-leaky oil pan from day 1


This bitch is disposable

I’ll give you $500 for it cash. Just to help a brother out and all. I’ll even come and pick it up.

I agree about the A Pillars what a joke literally scratched to hell after first wash.... I also think this truck makes lots of noises.... squeaks and clunks which are annoying on a truck that is 1 year old.

Do you think it your suspension that is making the noises? My truck is still quiet after 3 months with the new suspension...

My truck has 25.5k miles and the only one of those issues it has is the scratchy B-pillars. I've polished them out a few times with my d/a polisher but after a few washes they get scratched up again. I've been wanting to get them wrapped but I haven't got around to it yet.

Every vehicle I have ever had the glossy pillars on were scratched out quickly, this time, I clear bra'd them 400miles in.

Dispose it. You must have gotten a bad batch of parts. Sucks, but no sense in driving something you dont like.

25k miles
Exhaust is flawless
Red stripe isnt wearing at all
B pillars arent bad. I baby them. Im the only one that washes my truck. Always used the 2 bucket method.
Avalanche Grey is holding up great
Besides for a few chunks of rubber missing from crawling im at 50% life with even wear. 10K rotations
Never had oil pan issues

Any luck warrantying the tips, wheel and pan?

I only went in for the pan.

Dont get me wrong, I love the truck, it's perfect for my needs, I just hate to see the early wear.

Im pretty surprised that no one else has mentioned the exhaust tips, mine must have been poorly coated.

The oil pan and B-pillars are pretty well known issues.

I guess mine isn't a pavement princess, but still disappointing
I've seen at least one other person mention the exhaust tips. The B-pillars are terrible on all vehicles these days. I've had my truck since June and they've only been lightly wiped with detail spray using a Chemical Guys cloth and in the sun, you can see loads of scratches.

Truck trend did a 17k mile long term test , I’m sure they drove it hard and did not baby it. They’re only complaint was a tear in the bedliner and exhaust tip finish flaking off
