I ordered a 19 Lariat from the factory in late January and took delivery in late April. The first night I had it, it threw a check engine light and the dealership was unable to figure out what the issue but it has not returned.
All four tires were way over pressured upon delivery -47-50 pounds— when recommended pressure is 30.
No code was supplied with the door keypad installed at the factory
There was maybe an ounce of windshield washer fluid and only about an 1/8 of a tank of gas in it upon delivery.
The hood appears to be misaligned—the “gap” is not even all the way around and the hood actually seems to hang over both fenders an 1/16” or so.
Over the first 1500 miles my biggest complaint is the seemingly jumpy acceleration and ride—like it misses and/or surges. It seems to occasionally jump when coasting to a stop light and applying brakes. There is a service bulletin ---TSB 19-2052-2019 dealing with the Power Train Control module and update software fix but the dealership says it doesn’t apply to my truck and they don’t feel the roughness. The rough running is somewhat sporadic and not necessarily just when cold. It's almost like the it is running in a higher gear than is needed or someone driving stick isn’t applying a clutch when coasting to a stop—Almost like a rookie getting used to a 5 speed stick shift.
Otherwise If I could change a few things about the truck I would:
Make it in a 6 foot bed with crew cab.
Increase the distance the driver side seat adjusts backwards to give more knee room when seat is raised above the lower positions.
Add reclining function to the power seat.
Add handle hole in middle of door arm rest instead of a handle near front.
Move emergency brake from center console to foot control and use additional space for storage, bigger cup holder, storage area etc.
Add power tail gate.
Allow for auto stop/start to be permanently disabled.
