Hoping that $Cn.

Other than taking it back and seeing what the dealer does, I got nothing.

Have your Dealer get in touch with Ford.
The Dealer is suppose to do a pre-delivery inspection.
When you received you New Truck, was it washed and did you also inspect everything?
My dealer goes over everything on the Window Sticker to make sure all the options are there. He & I go all over and around the Truck looking for Defects. Including Paint.
I would say to the dealer it would only be fair to receive another Truck?
Your Dealer and Ford should make it right.
Good Luck on this one. It's new to me.

He stated the miles as 1000km, so probably yes.

Well its obvious that you didn't look the truck over before purchasing and I hope to God that you didn't pay 73 grand for a truck. But if you did then the dealer should be more than happy to please you. Show them your findings and I would demand a painting of the truck if you did pay this price. They will do absolutely nothing unless you ask.
