I don't like to buy a new model/design in the first year of production as always issues - whether it is a design issue or simply the fact that the workers have to get better at assembling vehicle. Hope you get it fixed and it is a slick looking Honda - I mean truck :party36:

What happened to "dealer prep" or "get ready" The agreement between the dealer and manufacture is that the dealer will check all function and feature items before customer delivery. When you read thru the posts from members, you got to wonder. Are they just hosing the vehicles off and putting them on the lot. When the truck went thru dealer service, this should have been caught and corrected.

Ok here we go:
Lack of power
Interior is really dated
Ride quality is also dated
Radio tech is slow to respond
Ac is very very weak
Truck has 1200 miles on it

Now again this is NOT an Apple to apple comparison. This is a vehicle that is on loan while they replace my one part. If I honestly were to text drive one, it would be their top tier version.

I had the displeasure of driving a new f150 at work and the ride was absolute garbage. Suspension felt horrible. Again, this was a base model work truck but compared to my 11 year old Ram, it was horrible.

Here’s the newest update concerning my truck. Called to tell me they have replaced the antenna, but they also pulled the rear interior and glass to seal that. So just to recap, new roof mounted antenna, rear power sliding glass has been pulled and resealed. Supposedly I’ll have it back by Tuesday.

The true test will be we are going to have a severe thunderstorm tomorrow and the truck will be parked in my driveway. We shall see what Wednesday produces. :)

Interesting! I go through a car wash every few days so I'll be watching for this on mine when it arrives.
