I picked up my 2019 power wagon late last year. I've had issues with the tailgate alignment on the left side of the tailgate. My brother came over and asked me if I hit anything with the truck... no. Come to find out my bed is twisted. Left side sits about 2 inches hire than the right.. welp. That would explain the tailgate being misaligned? Anyone notice something similar?

My 2019 came with the bed out of alignment from the factory. The problem was one of the mount towers on the bed was mispostioned during assembly. Tech. at the dealer shimmed it and regained alignment. There's even a shim kit for this.

Thats a pretty truck. Red is an awesome color, especially when kept clean and highly polished. Wishing you many years of no swirl marks !!

Passanger side allready has a nice clear coat scratch from going down a trail. I love the color but charcoal would hide little scratches. [emoji1787]
