Default crooked bed

hello everyone. New Ford owner here. Finally made the switch after a lifelong toyota owner. My question is this: I recently purchased a 2016 ecoboost super cab, Im very OCD and when looking at the back of the truck, the bed looks as if it leans to the left which in turn makes the bumper look crooked. I don't know how I missed this when purchasing, but with my OCD its very bothersome. I took it to the dealer and they said the bumper is straight and all the gaps are appropriately space. The look absolutely bothers me. Anyone have any other suggestions?

I came from a Toyota as well and Tacomas are well known for the "Taco Lean." The drivers side of those truck lean because of the fuel tank. There are even specific drivers side spacers to combat the issue.

I haven't noticed this on my Ford but that may be what you are dealing with. It may just be sort of an optical illusion. Do some measurements with about 1/2 tank of gas and find out. If you have a lean, you can probably add 1/4 spacers on one side of the suspension to deal with it.
