    Picked her up last Tuesday!

    So far love the truck but here's a summary of my experience so far.

    Day 1 - Doing the final inspection noticed a small ding in the tail gate, looked like the clear coat was damaged. My dealership tried to brush me off making jokes about it getting scratched in the future, I told the rep to write it down on the on the sign off sheet. They told me I had to bring it to their body shop that they use, anyways body shop said tailgate needs to be removed and clear coat removed then paint touch up and new clear coat applied :(

    Day 2 - Noticed the driver side door rattling when music turned up, also noticed the door panel had a spot that was not connected properly so booked it in to get fixed. Also made a poor decision to park under a tree overnight that sprayed sap all over my truck, had to run home from camping to wash it quickly ;)

    onto Day 7 - I have driven the truck 260kms but the fuel gauge is showing I've only used about 1/10th of the tank, seems very odd. Also find it odd you can only turn on the light bar if you have the high beams on.

    Love the truck so far, love the look of it, wondering about the grill being so open that maybe something needs to be put behind it like meshing or something. Can see stuff flying in there pretty easily.

    Depending on the size of the 'ding' your tailgate will likely need completely painted with clearcoat to fix that, don't let them BS you.
    Urethane clear coat can't be spot painted.
    The lunar color itself will be spot blended, but the whole gate will need cleared. New emblems, new logos, etc, etc.

    Nice truck!

    Did you pull the Apex with it? If so, how did it tow? Any problems leveling with weight distribution hitch?

    Nice looking truck!

    For behind the grill problem?? I used gutter screen (found that idea on a thread here somewhere) cut to fit and used black zip ties to hold in place. Looks like it belongs there. Best of luck.:)
