This is the first Ford product I have owned. After our third child was born I decided to get rid of 2019 Lexus GX for a 21 Lariat, 5.0 502A. Special order, etc., and took delivery last month. Literally took home with wrapping on vehicle and 17 mi on odometer. Super excited
Out of the gate, jokes aside about import build quality vs. domestic, it is pretty shocking that a $64k vehicle would be sent out for delivery with such poor build quality. Scratches on seats, interior panels had scratches, air dam scratched and, biggest issue - paint.
**Multiple clear coat nibs on hood.
**Drip/run on hood edge.
**Clear coat nib polished out at factory (can see smooth vs orange peel around area) and white/grey undercoat dip now visible.
**Scratch on A pillar touched up with pen and sloppy brush of clear coat!!
In posting this, I will readily admit that I am something of a perfectionist when it comes to vehicles, but wanted to see if anyone else has had similar paint issues. The chipped paint is simply mind blowing. I cannot imagine how anyone thought that it would be acceptable. And, given the location, I am not excited about the idea of having it repainted.
Would love to hear from others.
