It is not a dent, but more of a crush. It looks like "someone used a
ballpeen hammer" (Ron Rader) to put it together, along with large visegrips.
I feel that is a very unprofessional way to build a new vehicle. I'm just
wondering if it is worth "beating up" a servicing dealer (I bought the truck
out of state) for a new one when I take it in for its next service.
BTW, what is MP?
