Why is the interior so delicate

    I was detailing my interior and noticed an overwhelming amount of scratches. It's a 2016 with carefully usage. I noticed a tiny piece of melted chocolate or something so I gently scraped it off with a fingernail and it damaged the plastic peice. I'm afraid to touch the interior now. The chrome interior peices are also scratched a lot. Anyone else in my boat?

    I have scratches along my a pillar where it meets the dash from the dashboard vibrating and chafing on the a pillar plastic.

    The dash on these is so freaking flimsy and wobbly especially in the center where there is no support

    Yeah it's pretty sensitive. I like to keep some 303 aerospace protectant on it and it seems to help reduce the ease of scratching. But at least these dashboards don't crack like the Rams do. I know firsthand.

    If you do much off-road driving you'll quickly see just how cheap the exterior paint is also.
    Hell, I scuffed the paint off the edge of my driver door by opening it into my wife's mirror (plastic). Just barely grazed it.

    Yep, everything scratches super easy. Not to mention the little green spots that just show up out of nowhere. Above the handle on the inside of my door is ridiculous and I don't even touch this area....must be the tips of my fingernails touching when I reach to close the door or something...

    Yep, I had to replace my 2011 Silverado dash with it being only 3 years old. Just out of the bumper to bumper go figure.
