Exclamation Anyway to fix this?

When I bought my truck then rear bumper wasnt flush on the sides like it was suppose to be. The dealer said the guy who had it before me must of hit something while he was pulling something which made it bend and the sides bow outwards? The salesman said i could tie a rope or chain to a tree and pull until it was straight???

You have that taken care of by the dealership as a condition of the sale. You shouldn't have to deal with body damage when you purchase a vehicle.

My truck had a big dent in the tail gate, so I had them swap it with another Oxford White truck on the lot and told them I wasn't buying if they weren't willing.
