The headlights on this model are not effective enough to see safely at night. I have trouble seeing pedestrians and wildlife. I have adjusted the headlights and seen several complaints online about this same issue. I spoke with a dealership about it and they stated it’s a common complaint they get as well, and they offered to upgrade my headlights to an LED model for roughly $2,000. In todays time, a brand new truck should have quality lighting. They are the dimmest lights I’ve had on any vehicle I’ve ever operated.
bolts falling out that connect the grounding wire on the passenger and driver side rear frame. causes all lights on both side to not work. No notification is given for this fault. May cause you to drive without know that you have no stop lights turn singles.
