0	I ordered my truck direct from my local dealer - I picked it up after it sat on the lot for 3 days. At delivery - paint on tailgate and rear fenders was all scratched / hazy from some type of cover that rubbed / made contact with paint. At delivery, power steering fluid was WELL below the ADD line when warm. - Noticed after I test drove truck. Truck died once with 45 miles on odometer - has not since repeated. At 2000 RPM, I experience a vibration / harmonic noise, appears to be nothing more than an annoyance so far - it has done this since I first test drove it with 0 miles to present, 700 miles. I've noticed that when I put the truck into park from drive, it has a tendency to clunk into park and sort of lurch backward, like it's releasing the suspension energy. Interior came with what the dealer is calling factory "grease" stains. They will try to clean the interior up when they fix / repaint the tailgate and fenders. Windshield wiper is also mal-aligned. The passenger wiper is cockeyed about 7-10 degrees up, I will probably just fix this myself. I know that I have to allow the engine to fully wear in before I can get an accurate gas mileage reading, but right now, it's not anywhere near the 15-20 that the sticker advertised. I am curious if any other 4.7 owners are having poor mileage too.
