Driver side door and front fender don't align proper, looking at this gap and bump between fender and door, feel like this brand new truck has been in some sort failed body repair. Fritt's Ford at Riverside, CA look at it, recommended leave as is, because moving/re-align the fender or the Door might lead Driver side door Not close/seal properly. Lesson learned, always carefully inspect your New truck, inspect/pick up new truck during day time, take as much time as possible.

problem #2

F-150 Lariat 5

  • Automatic transmission
  • 12 miles

I had the factory bed liner installed. I do not like it at all. If I am in the box of the truck I can see the ground where the panels meet on the floor of the bed. I had a linex on my last truck and the bed was sealed. Just got back from fishing and everything in the bed was covered in dust . I had mentioned this complaint on my ford survey but they had not contacted me.

I would not recommend getting the factory liner installed. VERY DISAPPOINTED.
