2024 GM truck roofs developed cracks
Just seen this . Seems that some roofs are developing cracks . This has happened to trucks on the lot not even sold yet so it seems it’s not a fatigue issue. The fix is to drill a hole at each end and weld it . Ya I’d want that done in my brand new truck

You couldn't give me one of those new trucks.
J-U-N-K junk, on top of being ugly. |
Re: 2024 GM truck roofs developed cracks
I wouldn’t call them junk, they are a little fugly though. I have a ‘22 HD as a daily and it’s honestly been a damn good truck. Nothing but oil changes in the 50,000 miles I’ve had it(since brand new). I usually get a new one every 3-4 years. That said I’d be pissed if I bought one of these repaired trucks. GM should eat them, that’s my opinion. Makes me wonder if it’s an issue in the tooling used to stamp the panels.

Metal on newer vehicles is stretched too thin. Not from new, but the slightest tap on a corner often brings about splitting on most vehicles today

If people are dumb enough to spend what they charge for trucks these days, then they are dumb enough to put up with this. 50K+ trucks wtf.

There is another article on that website about 2023 Colorado and Canyon trucks developing a dent in the roof from taking it through an automatic car wash. Quality sure has gone downhill while the prices have climbed sky high...

Most of these similar trucks were high $30K’s to low $40k’s 5 years ago. |

Exactly! I just cut a PO for an Ext cab short bed 4x4 F-150 XL with weather guard boxes was $50k via the state contract. Same spec'd truck in 2019 was $31k |
