Yeah, Im a bit underwhelmed on the build quality of these new trucks. My 01 was solid in comparison to this truck, my 06 Dmax was great too. Why cant Ford have a Dmax in it so I can get a new truck

I can attest to that!!! I've had my roof 're painted. Both tail light pockets and my right side bed side 're done because of little paint bubbles from surface rust on the metal!! Also I'm not in a salt area either so I just got the quality one with rust issues

Your VIN start with a 1, 2 or a 3?

I think Ak is correct about the drying effect of some of the cleaners on the market. GM only recommends mild soap and water to clean the interiors. Not making excuses for the fisher price plastic these things are made with. My grand son's Little Tikes Cozy Coupe's plastic holds up better than these.
