I'm not defending Ford here but I dropped some blocks down onto my bedlinered tacoma (cornering) and they went through the bedliner and bed.

The whole truck just screams cheap from the interior fit and finish to the poor bed design. Good luck man, I hope you can achieve an out come that doesn't keep you up at night.
Aluminum is more expensive than sheet metal. And how is the bed "designed" poorly?

Hope insurance goes smoothly.
Yes these thin weak aluminum beds need line-x or a good bed liner in them.

Nah, it's a free drain hole.

I keep bungees, ratchet straps, and a 2x board to fit the bed divider slots in my truck to avoid stuff like this.

I would cover the wound with speed tape and call it a day.

Wow, sorry to hear about the damage to the bed of your truck. I bought this for mine earlier this year. It was well spent money.
