Was browsing X and saw someone post a photo of the center console from the rear also had some finishing issues.

“Once is an accident. Twice is a coincidence. Three times is a pattern”? 🧐

Edit: added link to x post -

That does not look like a finishing issue, it looks like damage (possibly during manufacture).
Before claiming a pattern, we need to determine that the other reported problems were not on the same truck. In other words, were the pictures on X the same problem, were they the same demo truck? Has anyone that actually took delivery had this issue (maybe the reason it is a demo truck is because of this factory damage).

Definitely something to check when taking delivery.

I also edited my order to 18". Hoping that doesn't put me out another 6 months. Thanks all for the advice/discussion.

One other question for those who have their CT, I was wondering without the air suspension, does it feel more necessary to add step rails? If the truck doesn't drop, it seems like it would be awkward without them? How does entrance/exit "feel" without them?

I thought getting in and out would be a problem but it's been fine for me.

Heavily depends on the height and age of the rider. Anyone 5’7” and shorter will thank you for adding running boards. So far, it’s been my favorite and most useful mod.

I’m setting my rig up for road tripping. It’s also for making dump runs etc., but I want it to be as efficient as possible on the highway. I deleted the terrestrial armor because although cool, I’d be paying $3000 and almost 200 pounds extra weight for the coolness. I’m not going to be doing anything that requires rock rails anyway. I resisted the temptation to order side steps during Amazon prime day because if you look under the side steps most people are buying, it looks like they never considered the importance of aerodynamics. It’s a ridiculous row of metal plates sticking perpendicular to the air stream. You’d have to work to make it any worse. My mods so far are: aluminum wheels (9 pounds lighter per corner), digital rear view mirror, cool center console and floor mats. I make trips up into Wyoming and the Dakotas and trust me, every bit of extra efficiency is good to have!

Some info:
RN127137..
Order date 2/20
Location: Houston, TX
Hx: July 15-mid-Aug delivery updated to “2027” a couple weeks ago.

One thing.. I upgraded to 20” wheels and feel like I’m the only one on the forum that did. I think it’s delaying my delivery date (although I have no real evidence of that). Is that possible?

What are the supposed downside (besides cost) to the 20”?
I ordered the 20”. Go big or go home😊.
