Usually, but the gaps on these trucks can be quite wide.

Not that I would do it, but for those who are really bothered by the leaks, what about a plastic drop in liner?

I just ripped mine out. Underneath I found gobs of silt that has already worn through the paint in some spots. It's been dry here, but if it rains you're going to get water up under there too

It's a truck, I bought it to put dirty objects into the bed. I don't care.

If you are worried about dust and water getting on your stuff you should have bought a cargo van...

The dust and water doesn't get past the liner, so anything that did manage to get through would just be in that tiny corner, underneath. Any water would then just drain back out per usual, so I MIGHT just have some dirt/dust hanging out under my liner, but certainly not enough that I am worried about it.
I have similar experience as Yonash1987, I have the MX4 Tonneau Cover, Bedtred and Husky wheel well liners. I have not noticed any significant issues related to dirt inside the bed.

Well, all of us are Truck lover's and each of us have different truck needs. I just spent over $60k on a truck, and it does have the FORD Spray-In-Liner, and it leaks.

I just want to fix it from leaking, either thru my own means or thru FORD TSB.


This isn't a Who's-use-of-a-truck-is-better thread...! But if it was, I would WIN! hehe! j/k

Ford needs to read these threads and realize they need to bring back the excursion! Sounds like a lot of guys don't need a pickup bed but a nice sealed off area for their luggage.

Ironically I work in forestry and I never have inches of dust on my gear when I get to the job site as I have no cover, I always wondered if canopies and tonneau covers created a more negative air pressure.
