Several years ago while detailing one of my F150s between the cab and box, I noted a flapper vent located low on the rear of the cab that puzzled me until reading later about vented truck cabs that lessen cab pressure when closing doors. Do the 2015 cabs have such a device?

Noticed something interesting earlier at work today.
I work in service and as I was walking through the showroom a customer was trying to open the tailgate on a 502A lariat. The battery in the truck was dead because of course everyone has been playing with it and the tailgate wouldn't open. Doors opened fine so the truck was unlocked, but the tailgate wouldn't budge.
So are the tailgates that are equipped with the auto lock that are electronic unable to open on a dead battery?

I live in the city so I have the luxury of not using high beams. When I do, a simple pull back on the turn signal lever is not out of my skill range. I disabled the feature.
I will say that I am not a fan of the uneven door gaps. As a former apprentice body man at my Dad's shop, this is one of the things he stressed when repairing a car- smooth lines. My rear doors are not uniform. There is a wider gap at the bottom and the door almost looks like it's sticking out where the top is flush with the cab and has less of a gap. This could be truck specific and maybe I need to take it to the dealer. I will take a picture and post it later, it's cold outside.
I don't think its too difficult to get the key out of the remote deal. With that being said, my wife has a similar set up with her Acura and it is easier to get her key out. Number of times I anticipate using this feature on either vehicle: 0
I see both sides of it and I'm trying to figure out which side I lean towards. It's a truck with some great features, made by humans therefore its not perfect. On the other hand, its a $55000 truck and I should get what I am paying for in every sense of the word. If the truck is equipped with something, it should be built flawlessly and work flawlessly. I don't know where I should draw the line between reasonable and unreasonable.

I went out and took pics of the door. I may have overstated the gap but it definitely isn't flush. The top of the door is more recessed into the cab, and the the bottom of the door sticks out.
So, when I rub my hand over it- at the top my hand bumps on the cab when sliding from door to cab. At the bottom, my hand bumps on the door when sliding from cab to door. So somewhere there is some warping or just maybe rushed work.
Lastly, I attached pictures from underneath my truck. Is this something I should be concerned with?

I did an IM session with Bedrug customer service about two weeks ago. They said the 2015 F150 Bedrug would be available "after the first of the year."
