Default Bed is on cockeyed??

I need to snap a picture but someone asked me over the weekend - told me I should say - that it looks like the bed of my truck is not sitting square to the cab. From the back, it looks like its slightly off, more towards the passenger side of the truck?? Its going in friday for its first oil change and I will point it out to the dealer.

That's Ford's new way to get better MPG with aerodynamics... LOL

Get some pics up here. Now you are making me go out to the garage and look at mine.

This happened to an Enterprise dealer here locally. They received 2 f150 trucks that the bed was actually WARPED. Ford sent 2 reps down right away to take the trucks back and have them replaced.

My 2012 came with that option as well. You have to look a little closer to notice it on my 2015.

Not uncommon with new or previous gen trucks. My '13 is not even side to side either. It can likely be adjusted if it bothers you.

WoW!! Do you think they would rush down and swap out a consumers truck? If not why not?

Had it in for its first oil change and mentioned the bed to the service writer. He just looked at my funny and said o.k. After it came out, he said they looked at it and agreed, its on a little bit crooked. Said they took some pictures and forwarded them to Ford to see what they said about it. I checked all the new trucks on the lot, about 20 of them and about half were the same way. Just a bit off center of the cab, all too far to the right side.

If it's anything like the issues I had with my 2 2015 Mustangs then they will print out a spec sheet and say if it's within tolerance no repair will be authorized. The dealer can choose to realign it without warranty authorization for you if they choose, but corporate will play the specs game.

Well got a call from the dealer last night and got the standard response - please bring the truck back and we will need it 3 to 5 days. A loaner truck will be ready for you when you drop yours off. What did you just say???
He didnt/couldnt say what they needed to do, only plan on at least 3 days in the body shop and up to 5 days before its completed. Going to call the salesman this morning to see if he can tell me more. Am I getting a new bed installed?
