Truck Arrived At Dealership... Damaged

[NotBudule]

ME TOO, NO THANKS, YOU CAN SHOP AROUND, EVEN GO TO A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER FOR A TRUCK THAT'S ALREADY ON THE LOT. DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A 2023 RIGHT, THEY ALL START WITH THE SAME WARRANTY IF NEW

Am I missing the pictures somewhere?

Okay... I apologize for the delay. Busy few days at work. I went to see the truck tonight.

Here are some updates.

1.) Pictures should be attached.

2.) Working on pricing / situation, but there would / could be some compensation.

3.) Will know "next set" of details on Monday.

4.) They let me bring the truck home for the weekend.

5.) OTHER THAN THE ROOF (duh)... it is gorgeous...

That is a beautiful truck, I know how hard it can be after a long wait. They know you will fall in love, that's why they let you take it home. I would see what they are willing to adjust and go from there. Your time is valuable too and you want to start enjoying your ride.

They strapped a second truck to the roof. ?

Really though, it looks like maybe the driver lowered the upper ramp into the truck...

How do your door alignments look? Are the spacings even all around and on all 4 doors?

Maybe take it to a local body shop and have them look it over for any other damage.

Leaning hard on the top while washing could do that kind of damage. I would try it out over the weekend and put 500 or so miles on it, then see what the compensation is on Monday. Oops, it's no longer new.

That's a shame as that was a beautiful truck. At minimum a new roof skin needed there and maybe a cross support depending. That will be an involved repair. It will require front and rear window removal and all interior touching the headliner including side curtain airbags at minimum to be removed before the work can begin. Personally, I would walk away. However, you do what makes you happy.

I don't know man ... not an expert or anything but if the interior supports are undamaged a PDR shop should be able to get that out as long as it's not creased, which I didn't really see in the pics

I believe this is the imprint of one of the crossbars. Appears to be a crease following the front and back edge of that cross brace.

Unpopular opinion coming.

Doesn’t look like too big of a deal to me. If it is in fact cosmetic (looks to be), I think leaving it alone would be the safer option. Gettin into Headliners, airbags seems like a mess. You’ll never see the roof and won’t notice it. Maybe ask for an appropriate discount and consider doing some kind of light touch repair with part of the cash.

entirely possible. hard to really tell how bad it is from a pic IMHO. I would still run it by a good PDR place before I let the dealer start phucing with it tho. it's amazing what they can do.

Maybe in your negotiations, you could have the dealership add one of these?
