2022 F150 Raptor major Paint Defects

[BradyB]

After waiting 10 months I finally got my Raptor. Picked up out of state since none of my dealers had any allocations.
I went over the truck when I picked it up but didnt look at the paint in indirect lighting. Full on direct sunlight or all shade you cant see these defects, but in morning /indirect sun you can see serious mottling/ splotchy spots on the top of the bed and one of the lower sides.
Another thing I find odd is the bed paint measures 3.0-3.5 in thickness, while the cab is 6.0-6.7.. Cab paint is very good, best and thickest out of all the Raptors (3) I have owned.. even the door jams are 2.9-3.0

I have yet to take it to a local dealer or call the selling dealer. I was going to let a high end body shop evaluate it first and then take it to the dealer.
Incredibly disappointed, had I saw the defects I would have passed on the truck.. Traded in a perfect F250 Tremor
Thought of repainting the bed gives me nightmares..

Good morning, Brady! Could you please send us a private message with your VIN and dealership information? I would like to look into these paint concerns for you on my end. Thanks!

Its been 13 days since you took my info and nobody from Ford has contacted me.

Not sure why https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/members/ford-motor-company.4246/ bothers responding to customers. All they do is refer you back to your selling dealer. I was told someone from Ford would contact me directly.

I had a similar issue with my 21 pb.. the passenger front door looked like this..
Dealer paid to have the whole door re-painted. Dealer said they saw this happen before, took care of it and put me in a loaner. I posted about this before

@BradyB I found this thread through a search. I too have multiple paint issues on my iconic silver F150. The selling dealer seemed to brush it off as "yup needs a repaint, take it to your local dealer" and Ford pushed me off to the dealership as well. I am not pleased about the defects but I REALLY don't want to deal with a repaint.

They won't...

They won't...

They did contact me but did not offer any help besides telling me to go the dealer.

Exactly... they are worthless on here.

Call Ford Corp or maybe try the general manager of that dealer first? Sucks man I feel your pain. I had a small dent side of my iconic as well I didn’t notice until next day.
