2015 Rear Bumper Alignment



Notice the vertical gap is not parallel between the bumper and the bed.


Picked up my new 15 F250 a few weeks ago and noticed that the rear bumper isn't lined up with the body lines. I stopped by Ford and about half of the trucks on the lot were the same way. They'll take it for the day to see if they can straighten it. Anyone know if the holes are elongated for adjustment? Will do it myself probably. Just thought I'd ask if anyone else noticed this.

Picked mine up last saturday and noticed the same thing. I looked under and think it can be realigned. I dont think its worth to bring back to dealer for a day.

Mine is like that too. Doesn't bother me because you have to look for the misalignment to notice- it might aid in draining water off the top surfaces.

My 2015 350 is the same way.

Let us know if there is a fix for this. I would rather do it my self then take it back to the dealer. I've had some bad experiences with the hacks there.

Mine is more like the first picture. I would adjust it if it looked like yours.

Very easy to adjust yourselves fellas (just look where the bumper bracket contacts the vehicle frame) the Rear Bumper has ALOT of adjustment

Easy adjustment to do yourself. However there is two ways to look at this.

#1. would be that if this is your biggest worry in the world you have been very blessed.

#2. If this bothers you and is a real concern, you maybe better off to sell the truck. In the over all scope of things it is unrealistic to expect perfection on a vehicle assembled with human hands.

Yea, I know, it stickered out for $70,000 dollars and for that kind of money you have high expectations.
