Gaps in the bed

[Charles Floyd]

So I noticed the gear I keep in the back of my bed was wet, I have a ford tonneau cover so I thought it was leaking. When I got my oil changed I asked them to look it over, rained stuff still wet...... so I looked yesterday and saw this. ( see pictures below) Are these gaps normal? If not, what should the dealer do to fix this correctly? They are on both sides

It’s normal. Always has been on any F-150 I’ve owned.

I don't think that's the problem...it's the giant gaps at the bottom on the tailgate. Turn the bedlight on in darkness and close tailgate+tonneau. They're huge.

Still trying to figure out a solution to "reasonably" seal it on mine, the weatherstrip I bought is way too small for the gap.

Ok, thank you, I’ll try to weather seal/caulk. I get a kids go bag and my tow/recovery items back there and they are getting wet.

Make sure to use aluminum safe caulk if you choose to go that route

Same on my 2020. Gaps were in front on the GEN1.

My 2020 is the same. It actually looks like poor build quality.

There used to be 2-3 intentional looking slots in the front of the beds of my '08 F-350 and my '99 F-150 for water drainage and the rest of the edges had no other gaps.

I am guessing that this is the OP’s first truck. My 1988 Mazda B2200 if you want to call that a truck, had drain holes in the front of the bed and every truck since has them.

I have his too.
