This is the dumbest thread ever.

Put some $&@#ing duct tape over the seam on the inside and get over it if you don't want it to leak.

Imagine the pissy thread if there were no drains in the box!

My 97 F150 had drain holes and a non sealed bed, my 05 f150 has drain holes and a non sealed bed, my 2015 has a non sealed bed. I also had a 2012 Sierra 2500hd, it has drain holes and a non sealed bed. I'm not sure if this is something new, but it seems normal.

Lmao, so..people that buy Ferraries (race car) are suppose to race everyone on the street everyday on their daily commute, otherwise they are not using it for what it was meant for?

You sir are a true hill billy. Why do I have to have the same reason to buy anything (including a truck) as you? You're a red neck with a different thought of mind than me!

This material is non-toxic, non-corrosive and non-staining. This seal can be used in temperatures that range between -20 Degree F up to 350 Degree F

Doesn't require a brain surgeon.

1 Buy or borrow a caulk gun
2 Apply non corrosive caulk.
3 Have a beer while you watch it dry.

The "aluminum alarmist" subject line was unecessary, this has nothing to do with the bed being made from aluminum. Pickup truck beds have never been advertised as water/dust proof. Maybe the ridge line or the discontinued avalanche, but never the ram/F-series/Silverado/Sierra. They all have gaps that allow water to drain from the bed for obvious reasons. This also applies to factory installed spray liners, nowhere does it say that it makes the bet water/dust proof.

Wishing they were does to put any onus on the manufacturer to make it so.
