Cab and bed alignment off
So, I just noticed after washing my truck that the cab is a little wider than the bed and the bed isn't centered up with the cab. I noticed this when looking down the sides from the rear. The bed is almost flush with the cab on the drivers side. The passenger side bed is noticeably in from the cab. I measured the difference on each side. The drivers side bed is 1/16" in from the cab side and the passenger side is 7/16" in from the cab. So I got under the truck to look at the mounting points on the frame and bed. There are 2 plastic locator guide pins on the passenger side front and back frame mounting brackets that are used to locate the bed when they set it on the frame. 3/8" doesn't sound like much difference, but it's quite noticeable once you look at it. My OCD is really kicking in on this now.
My question is has anyone else noticed this on their truck? I'm very curious to hear from everyone. I'm going to stop by the Ford dealership later today and look at the trucks on the lot to see if they are like this.
My truck is a 2018 XLT SCAB 4x4 built in Dearborn.

Tom, just kidding in the sense that I had to run outside twice today to check for imperfections on my truck. Glad all is well with your bed alignment and that the bumper adjustment looks perfect.
