I guess the 12's were plagued with bad paint jobs and the 13"s will have misaligned body panels.

the box could be adjusted pretty easily but for a brand new truck i would take it to the dealer and make them fix it.

They had to adjust the box on my 12. The front bumper was off.

I had a similar problem with my truck. The space between the cab and the box was off by almost and inch from passender to drivers side. And the front fascia below the headlights was hanging over the front bumper on the passenger side and rubbing on the drivers. Never thought to look for something like that on a BRAND NEW truck. They put it on a frame machine and the frame was fine. They had to readjust all the body mounts, box, and both bumpers. They had it a week right after I bought it. It's not 100% perfect not but much better than before.

Box panel alignment

Picked up my 2013 Quad Cab Ram yesterday. Noticed the driver side bed panel seems to be out of alignment with the cab. Passenger side seems OK. The hood also seems to overlap the front fender on driver side.

Is there a pattern here?

It's starting to look that way. One would think this would be part of build tolerances and not the responsibility of the dealer to fix...

Mine is straight but when getting ready to wax my 13 for the first time and the hood looks like it painted like a zebra. That's going to be a fun convo at the dealer

Sounds like someone went a little light on the base coat... Theres no need for this kind of thing happening in this day and age.

I'll tell ya what, if my truck comes in and isn't 100% perfect, I'm going to be PISSED THE F OFF! The thing has been in what I can only assume is quality assurance for almost 40 days.
