what checks/inspections are done?

[FreightTerrain]

so my truck arrives. someday. exactly what inspections is the dealership required to do before the keys are handed over and i drive away? is it something as simple as a quick walk-around visual inspection or something more complex? i guess ive become paranoid about anybody effing with my truck before i take it

My guess is they do as little as possible...I would be surprised if a tech put it on a lift to check for leaks or anything odd...

I doubt they check the fluids either...

Well I can tell you our guys check all interior features such as audio, heat, a/c seat belts etc. Test drive about a mile to make sure it drives as it should with no problems etc., check all fluids, set air pressures in tires and set tpms. The trucks come in transport mode which keeps the battery from going dead so that is disabled. Check all lights and aim headlights. Actually you should get a pre delivery check list from the dealer when you pick up truck.

You would be surprised at some of the shit we find

When I worked for Toyota we had a checklist of things to do. Check all fluids, lights, tire pressure, etc. There was 1 or 2 fuses we had to pop in depending on the model. A lot of Toyotas were shipped with 50psi or more. Some cars had a spring spacer/block that needed to be removed.

regardless of whether or not the fluids are "said " to have been checked, CHECK AGAIN!! Take it on good faith, they may not be where they should be.

Also you need to bring it by White Star Industries for your official "Raptor Readiness" inspection, ( 1200 S Payne unit A, Olathe KS 66061) the main aspect to that inspection is a mid-perch adjustment as well as a numerous modification options placed at your feet!

I recently went to the rouse plant where my 2013 was being built, and you would be surprised at what quality control that takes place in each and every truck built there. I highly recommend taking the tour. I have no doubt that ford is building a quality truck.
And yes the raptor does go thru an off road test to check for proper operation...btw..I took delivery of mine today, what an awesome truck!!
