Most of the "common" problems with popular domestic trucks/SUVs is due to their sheer volume of production. Issues are bound to happen when you crank out millions of the same platform.
I put a 1994 door on my 2002 truck and it latched perfectly the first time I shut it. The look on my friend's face who was helping me was priceless. An 8 year difference between when the trucks were assembled and a major body part fit perfectly. Haters gonna hate, but I think that's engineering excellence right there.
It is pure luck to get the hinges and latch perfectly aligned with just bolting it up. Astounding luck.
You should have bought a lottery ticket that day!
