2022 Lariat Tremor
I’m pretty shocked how much damage comes from the factory/ shipping.
Received my lariat tremor and I have a list of problems already. Hope this doesn’t cause further issues down the road after it’s fixed but apparently this is a normal amount of damage coming in from factory lately. Considering the price of things, I assumed it would have been taken care of alittle better lol

-front bumper warped on passenger side and had a scuff.
-front drivers fender has a dent outwards.
-front drivers door has what looks like paint blemish on body line.
-tailgate paint blemish that looks pitted.
-passenger rear fender under taillight has paint over spray.
-passenger tremor seat on leather has a small prick/cut in fabric.
-tailgate handle not flush (I’m being picky but it bothers me on top of not being white to match rest of handles lol)

maybe I’m just being extremely picky With everything but still makes me wonder how many owners don’t even look or do a walk around of their vehicles lol

That is not acceptable at all and unfortunately it is the new normal, ford is having a lot of trouble finding companies and trucks to ship vehicles so they are having to subcontract out to less than reliable and desirable companies because they have no choice and even doing that vehicles are sitting for ridiculous amounts of time at the factory see dirt mountain for the broncos a lot of them are waiting on chips yes but many are ready and waiting for the trucks so that will also cause problems back when I first started it would be at most a day or two from the vehicle being done to being shipped now it can be weeks or even months and that doesn't even account for them also having to sit for god knows how long at the rail yards because of the same shortage of trucks. Make sure everything is chronicled and logged by you and the dealer before you take delivery and make sure you get signed delivery confirmation forms that itemize the issues and the fixes the dealer and by extension ford owe you

another factor is a very concerning lack of qc coming from the plant the bronco has had major issues with it as well and as we all know our rangers share the same production line. If you think thats bad there have been broncos coming with mismatched seats missing components paint being flaked off along the roll bar with the tops due to a defect and mishandling etc. One dude got 3 different types of seats in his badlands one from a black diamond and the rears from an outer banks

Mine had halfway unpainted door jams in the rear. You could still see blue primer bleeding through. Had a bunch of trash in various places in my exterior paint as well.
Do you happen to know your production date? If I was a betting man I would bet it was right around when the broncos had a ton of paint issues as well

Mine is a 19, I think it was October of 2018. I purchased it in March 19' - right when COVID started and snagged a smoking deal at 0% for 84 months cause they were so desperate.

wow, I almost feel lucky now. That’s 100% not acceptable to not even be finished painted. I hope the dealer caught that and didn’t try to let you take delivery

I didn't notice it till a few days after I brought it home and got around to detailing it for the first time.

In my defense and the dealerships defense, checking the inside door jams of the rear wouldn't have crossed my mind either. That is more of a Ford factory QC job.

I was 18 hours from sigining one of those deals on a 19 when I got laid off in 2020

I had a 9am appointment the next morning.

tis okay I found a better optioned '21 truck for less, and got $4k more for my old vehicle to boot.

That’s awful, but I guess they think because people want their vehicles, anything will do lol.
Now all I can think of is what else am I not seeing…

I’m disappointed in the quality of things as well to be honest and if the vehicle arrived without these issues I probably would be somewhat okay with how they cheaped out.

No kidding, I knew we had thin paint but down to the primer is just ridiculous
