    Truck doesn’t even have 2k miles on it and I noticed these the other day…

    I’m thinking I already know the answer, but I’m curious if anyone has had any luck repairing tiny gouges on the dash?

    I really don’t know what did it, because it’s only visible from the passenger side. I just now found them cleaning out the truck and have no idea what they’re from. I haven’t carried anything long that would rest on the dash so I’m puzzled.

    Oooh look, another mod.....
    Your post got my curious, so I closely inspected mine and couldn't find any signs of damage. My SloRunner is 10-ish months old with roughly 9,800 miles on it.

    I suggest taking yours to the dealer. If you haven't placed anything on your dash that may have caused it, then it's a factory (albeit odd) defect.

    I may run this up the flagpole at the dealer and see what they say. With the dash being hard plastic it’s just hard to believe I set anything on there that would do this.

    The dash in these trucks seems to scratch if you look at it funny.

    Agreed, I have a 2021 and being super gentle when cleaning and I have already scratches and chips. Very delicate dash. From what I can see on mine it seems to be painted flat black and it is light colour underneath. Once you scratch or chip its very visible.
