My 97' was factory sealed. 2 drain holes at the front behind the cab. It makes sense if you intend to to carry five people in the cab and their luggage, backpacks etc. in the bed. And yes if I choose to haul manure, brush dirt or appliances I can. Some of us are clever enough to clean it out later.

I hate when I'm hunting and all my gear is in the bed getting wet and dusty before I even get to where I hunt.
Gotta drive down a lot of dirt roads and through wet fields.

I can't decide whether this is a Ford F-150 problem, a pickup truck problem or not a problem at all.
I have literally never encountered a truck with a sealed bed. I think most of the people concerned about dust and water getting into their bed have either:
1. Never owned a truck before
2. Haven't bothered to get the bed sprayed
3. Don't realize that there are VERY few tonneau covers that are completely water and dust tight
4. Don't realize that there are cargo boxes, toolboxes and other systems available to install into your bed to help better seal your belongings
Are you suggesting Ford invests money and time into sealing something that's wide open from the factory? Lol...Sounds kinda ridiculous from that perspective doesn't it?
