Did anyone see or experience this type of issue when they first got their truck, where you'd notice drops on the floor?

For my own experience, it appeared to be coming from the rear differential. So far, I've only heard of a couple of other owners mention such an issue ever since I had mine fixed.

So what I did was, I contacted the dealer and booked an appointment just as a friend of mine suggested. After their check, it turned out the gasket was pinched somehow, which caused the leak.

It took just a simple fix under warranty with a new gasket, and everything was all good. If you notice such an issue with your truck, you can simply book an appointment with your dealer, and it'd be fixed for you in no time.
