Default Bad Door Gaps = Ford Only?

For everyone that thinks that only Ford has door gap issues, and that because it is an expensive truck it shouldn't happen, or that it just because of the Aluminum, go take a look at other brands.


I took these pics of the gap on a 2015 Silverado LTZ with the 6.2L engine. Sticker was $57210.


The door gaps on this one look just as bad as a lot of the bad gaps on F150's.

And this one was on the Showroom Floor of a local dealership. (Sorry pics are oriented sideways even after I corrected them in MS Paint)















One pic I pulled from their website, and you can see how bad the gap is clearly.





Personally the gaps don't bother me that much, as after the first few payments are made, and the first scratches appear the truck/vehicle becomes just another item and imperfections just add to the personality of the vehicle.


I just thought I'd share...

I venture to say it's industry wide. The Ram 1500 which I traded in for my 2015 Screw had the same issue. I would close the doors but it seemed as if the weatherstrip was preventing it from fully closing. Dealership stated it's a design to reduce wind noise......
