Dealer claims they can’t swap mods from my used truck to the new one?

i was asking if it’s common practice. You’re in the 3rd gen forum, I would have thought your glass bones and paper skin feelings would have callused by now

 

I understood the first post, and I’m drunk.

That’s all I have to offer

 

Yeah I tried that with dealer #1, then dealer #2. I think I’m just going to have to part with it based on what I’m reading if I want to get into a new one, it’s not a huge deal, but I really do like it lol

 

comeback later in the evening with some tools and swap them out. Problem solved or offer to pay the hour of labor to swap.

 

Both good points, thanks!

If they want to sell you the truck they will do it.

 

Just tell them you are keeping your hood, if they really don't want to swap it you can remove it before the sale. Then they have the option of taking a truck with no hood, or doing the swap. Don't give them the option you don't want.

 

Used to used, I could see it possibly happening. Used to new, hell no. Your best bet is find a flat hood for you current truck, keep your scooped. Swap to new truck yourself, then sell the new flat. PITA, & long way around, but...

 

In the event of an accident, the dealer who swapped may be liable for any resulting injury.

Dealers generally do not modify vehicles. Too many potential legal issues.

 

Is this a serious thread? Entitlement much...

OP is saying other people have hurt feelings and glass bones, yet he’s whining about a dealer not wanting to do something they’re not required to do. Seriously?

 

Just buy a used, paint matched OR hood and swap it with your sport hood. When you get your new truck put the Sport hood on it and sell your new trucks hood.

 

Used to deal with this stuff all the time when I worked at the dealership. Customer won’t buy it unless their cap, tonneau cover, running boards, etc is on the new truck. They buy a new body style truck and you’d tell them it’s different so there are fitment issues. Sales person was too stupid to realize and didn’t want to lose the sale and the customers were usually always overly demanding and don’t want to be told no. And of course because of new car surveys and customer satisfaction numbers, we usually never said no to anything unless it was some type of safety concern. If something wasn’t able to be swapped we either eat something or give it to them at our cost or some other crap. God I don’t miss that bullshit.

 

If its important to have the scooped hood, tell the dealer no deal unless they swap it.

I personally don't see the big deal. Keep the clean OR hood.

 

Wait! Do not trade that truck in yet. Swap that hood with someone and pocket the ~$500. Then use that to buy a new hood.

 

Sorry, not true.

If they replace your original damaged hood with a new hood, then the integrity of the vehicle is same as original.

Swapping hoods from different years is not the same.

I am not a lawyer, but I'm sure there are legal reasons for the dealer's position.

 

if I was the dealer I wouldn’t do it for you

find another hood for your new truck

 

Wheels tires no problem. A hood or other structural components? No

 

Go to the dealer sign the deal up until final signatures and then tell them either swap the hood or you’re gonna walk. Chances are pretty good they will swap the hood. Worth a try
