The Lean
'17 ccsb 350 srw. In the back, the left side of the truck is about 3/4" lower than the right when sitting on level ground. Front is pretty close left to right. Nothing obvious seems wrong with the springs.
Anyone else have or correct this?

I had Rangers with the same qwerk. Haven't really looked at my 17. I just use it. My bed and cab are misaligned. Had it looked at by dealer body shop. They couldn't do anything with it. Frankly it doesn't matter. You can only look at one side at a time anyways. Lol.

Bed to cab seems ok. The problem is that the side I look at most often is the back because of where I have it parked. I guess I'll have to start backing it in..lol.

I have the same issue with my ‘19 CC SWB Lariat with 550 miles. The local Ford service department couldn’t find anything. Afterwards I saw a thread on this forum about leaning and misaligned beds. That made me look closer and I found mine is offset from the cab by about 3/4 of an inch to the drivers side as well. Bugs the crap out of me!

71,000 or 40,000 they all have the same problems. So in this case you don't get what you pay for..... or do you? In my case I only paid 42,000 for the same problems you have. I guess I got a bargain!

I did not buy!
I'll wait until they get their quality control problems solved.

I don’t consider this a major problem and I’m probably among the top 5% in pickiness. I hadn’t even noticed the offset until it was brought up and I’d bet almost no one else would either. I’m happy with my purchase. Every manufacturer domestic and foreign has its quirks and imperfections. This is my third consecutive Ford pickup since 2012 and it continues to be my go-to brand. I paid well under $70k for what I think is the best looking, fully loaded F350 Lariat Ultimate out there. IMHO.

I've seen no problems with the fit or finish on my 2019 250XLT that I picked up in July...
