    yeah, sorry man, that sucks! Happy to hear that got that resolved.
  2. Brand new 2026 Raptor and its already back at the dealer!

    I also forgot to add that the same door was not aligned correctly. I noted right away that it would not shut like the other doors. Then I realized I could get my fingers in a gap at the top right of the door, whereas the other side I could not. It was also raised as an issue but obviously the...

    I believe you are correct, but it was not clear at first that this was a straightforward paint warranty issue. They needed to see it in person and decide next steps. Knowing what I know now, I could have gone to a local dealer to try and get it fixed. But ask anyone in Austin about local...

    Totally agree. Thus far the dealer has been great if I ignore the fact that they have had two attempts so far to paint and their communication has continued to have me believe that they were about to be finished and all was well. So no complaints about them yet and I wont even name them in this...

    Thats how it should be and most of my cars have been that way. I change my cars a lot. In fact my partner laughs when I buy a car and say I like it and will keep it a long time. My biggest problem child was a 2019 GMC Sierra AT4 with the 6.2 V8. Cracking engine....until it failed. 5000 miles...

    FYI. The other spots are just because the dealer drove it to me and it happened to be a day of rain/storms and door got dirty. This photo is before I took it back to them.

    Thanks for the life advice. I’ll try to keep in mind that expecting a brand-new truck to be delivered without a paint defect, then expecting it to be repaired correctly when it isn’t, is apparently an unreasonable standard. I’m not upset that the truck has a paint bubble. I’m frustrated that I...

    Austin has a lot of Ford dealers, but it also has a growing population of people moving here from states like California and they have money. Dealers here have no problem selling a Raptor at MSRP or MSRP + markup in Austin. This means you have to cast your net wider if you don’t want to pay...
  9. Brand new 2026 Raptor and its already back at the dealer!

    My first Raptor, actually my first-ever Ford, and it's already back at the dealership. 2026 Ford Ranger Raptor in Avalanche. It was delivered to my home on a Friday evening, and I had to return it to the dealer on Tuesday. The dealer is four hours away from my home. It's been there all week...
