2015 Bed
I was doing some research on here and it looks like some have used their older model tonneau's on the new 2015's. I have seen some pics and it looks like the front of the 2015 bed behind the cab is curved? My 2012 is pretty much straight. Question is, are the new tonneau's curved in the front behind the cab or do you see part of the bed on each side due to the curve?

Well I bought a new 15 FX4 5.5ft box, I got the soft roll up tonnau cover and I'm thinking I got a 14' and prior cover, it doesn't seem to fit well, it seems too short to seal properly at the front and at the tailgate. On the Ford site it lists that cover for 15' and they dont have a listing for that one for the 14 anymore. I'm going to call my dealership and ask them what part number it was on the cover they installed. The cover is on the very edge at the front part to be able to get the seal to barely touch the tailgate at the back.

We have the same part numbers for F-150s from 2004 to 2014 model years (across two generations). They just change too much from 2014 to 2015 to continue using the same dimensions.
According to my information, the 2015 short bed is half an inch shorter than the 2011 short bed, so your current cover is a bit too long. If you think you can make it work, it's your cover and truck, and you can do as you wish. But I recommend against it.

Not sure if this link will work but its a pic of a 2011 tonneau on a 2015. this is from another post on here. If it works you can clearly see the curve and the straightness of the tonneau. Let me know if the link at least works. Thanks
