The bottom corners of both doors come to a very sharp point. Both of us have sustained nasty cuts on our shins when getting in and out of the truck several times. There should be a different design to remove the sharp points you can't avoid it at least put durable protection over the sharp edge.

I went in to carmax to trade in my truck, and when it was appraised they found rust on the undercarriage significant enough to to lower the value of a trade in price. In fact, carmax would have to take it to 'auction.' my truck was appraised at $19,000. Kbb estimates it between - $21,300 to $23,400.

The 9/8/13 accident involved a severe side impact. Both driver side doors were impacted and the center frame post required replacement. However, the side impact air bags did not deploy, which should have happened. The truck is still in the shop as of 9/25/13 because there are problems with the onboard computer recognizing the side air bags. I am concerned with the safety of the vehicle air bag system. *ln updated…
