Door panels

Anyone else notice how easily the door panels scratch in these trucks? Jesus Christ.

 

No

 

yes

 

Yes

 

Are you wrapped in bubble-wrap when you get in and out of your truck? In all seriousness, I don't get it. I'm VERY OCD when it comes to being careful in and around my vehicles. The number of little scratches I'm seeing on my driver-side door panel at 3 months of ownership is a bit annoying.

It’s a well known issue. My only advise is learn to live with them

 

If it's a known issue, so be it. That being said, I think Toyota could have used a more scratch resistant plastic. My Mustang is 17 years old and has 0 scratches on either of it's door panels.

 

I agree 100%. Touch the panel with your shoes when you get out equals white scuff mark that won't come out.

 

I’m at a loss on even how some of these scratches are appearing. I’m starting to wonder if it’s a sneeze or a fart. Straight up ridiculous. I get it’s a truck and it’s not a big deal, but come on. It’s little details like that that make things look like shit.

 

Really irked me when I first bought the truck too. I have learned to live with them.

 

No



Wait yes

 

No, lots of range trips, hunting, camping, very little commuting. I get dirty streaks where my boots hit the very bottom of the door panel, but the dirt wipes right off. I'm sure if I really cleaned and looked at it with a bright light, there's slight scuffs, but nothing noticable after cleaning, and probably nearly every vehicle has scuffs there.
If they drive you that crazy, maybe add some clear material like they install in the front of vehicles for rock chips.

 

Ridgeline?

 

it was a noticeable defect when I bought my used rig. It was in excellent shape inside and out EXCEPT those panels.....so Yes.

 

Meh

 

who cares

 

I like to use my fingernail to write my name and inspiring messages. It's like a public urinal that I can take with me.
