Default Misaligned door or normal?

Coming from a 2014 Silverado diesel. First of all these new interiors really are impressive.

So I just picked up a 2021 lariat sport 502a package with the 3.5 EB off the dealer lot. Not sure if this is typical for Ford but my passenger side doors do not line up compared to the driver side. At first I thought I didn’t shut the door fully. Checked and checked again. Think the rear door is misaligned because it does not sit flush with the C pillar

I plan on contacting the dealer in the morning but is this a Ford thing or am I just too picky?

You’re not being too picky. Have the dealer take it to the body shop. Should be able to realign it easily. Beautiful truck by the way. Exactly the same truck I ordered except w/power boost. Could you tell me if the tires are Pirellis or hankook? More pics please! Again, nice ride, congrats!

Thank you lol. This is my luck with Ford though. Thought I’d give them a try again. 2003 ranger trans went at 10k miles. 2012 focus passenger window motor and a/c compressor at 20-30k miles.

I have a door alignment problem with my 13. I thought they would have figured it out by now. I bought the truck used so I would have had to have paid to fix it. Dealer body shop said they would have to completely remove and replace both doors on the drivers side. I don't know if that was true, but it kept me from having it worked on.

I had to have all four of my doors aligned on my '15 Plat. The alignment was so bad that they whistled at highway speeds. Poor QA

Scheduled a visit with the Ford body shop. Said it should take about an hour to fix.

Pretty common to have door misalignments, especially on the 15-17 trucks. Haven't seen as many complaints on the newer trucks.
