Somewhere in Ontario. I meet with the dealership tomorrow to see what they can do for me. As mentioned above I might get them to put some fender flares. So no one has problems with their trucks being the sme as mine?

Hey man, I never really looked that closely on mine, but if I really pay attention, I think it is the same as yours. Somebody else mentioned putting on some fender flares. Mine came with the flairs from the factory, and they seem to hide it really well, comparing your pictures to how mine looks in person. The tires don't stick out past the flares on any side. It might be worth looking into.

Well dealer told us to contact Ford as they did as well and the truck is made to be this way. ??? Why I asked? No reason given. If it causes more wear on this side of the truck that is my problem as they don't cover paint if it is chipped by rocks etc.
My boss has a 2009 and the tire does not stick out the same as mine does. So Ford said that this is an issue for the dealer and the dealer seems to think that the truck is fine. So I guess I take it to the next level.

I spent way too much time at Ford service departments with brand New Ford's only to have the Service writer tell me" That's the way it's supposed to be" or "it's normal" or " There's nothing wrong with it" Or the famous most used " we couldn't get it to make that noise or problem when we drove it"
It looks like Ford service or lack of is still the same as I experienced it in the past.

In this case, Ford isn't denying the owner warranty coverage. The owner is caught in a circle between Ford and the dealer. Still, this isn't right. Nonetheless, the owner is working his way to forcing the dealer to state the box is off alignment and then, the fix can be made. But, I agree that service side of the ownership equation is sorely behind the other manufacturer's reputations.
To the OP, I'll try to snap a couple of pics this afternoon. Can you be more detailed on what must be in the picture(s)?

I sure don't think that I should have to settle for this when there are other trucks out there, not like mine.
