Bed cracks question

so the last truck I bought and with a plastic bed liner so I never noticed this before but on my new f250 plat cc I had linex in the bed but standing in it the other day I noticed the corners near the cab on the floor of the bed look like there is a small gap where I can see light coming through. It doesn't seem like a crack just how the bed is assembled. Does ford leave this crack to drain water or something. Seems kind of odd that it wouldn't be completely sealed up..... in not delusional right? The separation in the floor from the walls of the bed in the corners is normal?

I saw the same on mine, looks intentional. Glad because my 2014 F150 did not have the gaps, Linex sealed the bed and it would fill with 5-10 gal of water and freeze in the winter.

So far that is not happening with the new truck

My 450 has em also. I personally like it as water and debris clear out faster.

Water drain. Otherwise rain water would stand in the bed.

They are double as great places for debris to accumulate, clog the holes, and turn your bed into the much desired swimming pool...
