Dang man. After seeing your bumper photos I went and looked at mine and sure enough I have the exact same issue. Built on 11/5. Any other new owners noticing the bumper issue?

Sorry to hear this Bob.
I'm sure others have this problem too.
Post up some pics if you are able.

Yup, I went out and checked mine, which went to the same dealership as R1 and sure enough I've got about 1/2" larger gap on the drivers side.

Good find

Update

The service writer at the Ford dealer called me up.
They are not able to put my Raptor on the alignment rack to fix the steering wheel.
He needed my permission to drive it over to a specialty shop for that. I said "Drive it over there".

Also.......He contacted Ford regarding the bent bumper.
Ford requested pics. So he sent over 8 pics of the bumper.
He will let me know if Ford responds back today on the bumper.

Here some pics of my bumper. The left side hangs a bit lower and is also shifted to the left. I haven't laid on my back yet to see if I can see the cause. Yeah it's dirty, has been a couple of days of wintry weather in VA.

Well that sucks to hear your new rig has issues. I've been there before.

On my '14:

My steering wheel was off center also, however the rear bumper lines up good.

I did the mid-perch mod so an alignment had to be done anyhow.

I did find my front drsd flare was popped out. You could see all the clips. Just pressed it back in until they locked.

No other issues on mine upon delivery.
