glove box issues
 
in the grand scheme of things this is so very minor, but my glove box does not like to open. it has stuck on two seperate occasions recently. the doors move slightly when pushing the button but they don't fully disengage. i have to pull on them while engaging the release.

it also appears to be related to the amount of heat inside the vehicle. maybe they are swelling, which means i will probably have to pry them open this summer.

it's not worth a trip to the dealer for only this little issue, just wondering if anyone else had this going on too.

dude,
you paid lots of money for this truck. I reckon you call the dealer and make an appointment to get it fixed. It might be an electrical problem.

i wouldnt let it go if i were you.

You probably have done this, but just in case, look at the hinges, and latch to see if a errand piece of paper or something else is stuck in there. The tolerances are pretty small, so something could be gumming up the works...

I had the same problem. I moved the two doors repeatedly together and apart (without locking). After that it was fine.
