All right I shouldn't have said anything about the price of the vehicle because as previous people have mentioned it's on all of the F-150 and current for trucks, it's just a stamping issue and it's not just around the door handle it is extremely Lumpy in between the door handle and the mirrors on the doors, it's just crazy I also have a 2019 GMC at4 and it's as straight as an arrow no issues whatsoever, I just would think that they could get this right and I am completely shocked on the number of people that are oblivious to this, I mean hell, Helen Keller pointed that out to me

How you like the GMC? I left GM after 3 trucks (07 silvy, 14 GMC 5.3, ‘15 GMC 6.2)

I had issues w/ their K2 series of trucks, could’ve gotten an ‘18 Denali ultimate w/ 6.2 & every damn option from the dealer I bought my ‘15 from for $51.5k - stickered for $67.5 I think. Instead I paid $60.2k for my ‘18 Raptor (66.8k sticker but dealer also threw in tonneau & $1000 credit toward extended warranty) but I was all set w/ another GM after issues w/ my ‘15 & a ‘14 before that.

The ‘19 GMs I did look at but didn’t warm up to the new look until recently (the AT4 w/ the factory lift I like) also didn’t wanna be GMs guinea pig for a new design again after previous experience.

I do love their V8s though, & who knows maybe they’ve reached the top of the pack again in the pickup wars but I’ll wait on sidelines w/ my raptor that holds value like a sombitch & see how the newest GMs hold up. I simply loathe the AFM shit tho.

Truth be told if I could’ve convinced myself that spending another $10k would’ve been OK & that I could actually use all the utility it had to offer I’d be driving a new ‘19 Ram 2500 Cummins - holy shit what a beast & an unreal interior.

I don't have too many pictures of it, but it's a great truck like I said there's just something about my Raptor that I missedc7f856f1dcaf6d6290b6e74ab830bd94.jpg

I just went out to my truck and really the only 2 things I noticed were
1) it has doors
2) the doors are black, same as the rest of the truck.

Then I got in the truck and drove it, and had completely forgotten about the doors, other than to rest my arm on the arm rest attached to the door.

Maybe my priorities are different.

I never said it deterred me from enjoying it and really appreciating what it is the whole summary of the thread is, it's ridiculous that we cannot have a quality straight panel on our truck

Mine is pretty straight, not perfect but nothing is. Keep in mind when then stamp the door panels, no one knows if it's going on a 70k Raptor or a basic XL work donkey.
