The head lights on both dim and bright do not shine ahead far enough to safely see at night. I have friends who have 2015 model year of the same truck and they have complained to me about it. And in bad weather the situation is much worse.

Very poor tail lights. The tail lights are only visible at a small area at the top and bottom. I have been stopped by the police for no tail lights. Very poor design on this model.
