After looking at your pictures and another F150 with a BedRug in person and comparing to the Ram, the fit issue is two fold. The F150 bed is designed differently than the Ram, allowing the BedRug a tighter fit. I also think BedRug rushed these and the quality of the build/cut isn't the same as the on I purchased in 2016. It fit tighter around the wheel wells and I couldn't see sewing marks from where they sewed the velcro on to it.
Bottom line - I'm keeping it in the Ram. I got a better price than on my F150s so I guess you get what you pay for LOL
I'm completely in agreement with you about BedRug having rushed these into production. The quality of the fit is absolutely terrible, compared to the ones that I had in my Dakota of years gone by, my '15 Longhorn, and my '16 Longhorn, but that's only half the story.
The major issues I have, along with the overall fitment, is the belief I have that the BedRug engineers didn't do their due diligence in taking into account those of us who have the Bed Utility Group bed rails. Once you have the BedRug fit in, and placed as tightly as you can through the whole box, soon as you reinstall the bed rails it sucks the back end of the BedRug so tight that you can't get the end/side portions of the BedRug to wrap around the rear 'posts' of the box. Not only is there too little material, what there is gets pulled along at an angle, so you have exposed metal where you're not supposed to.
Oh, and the only way that you can get the bed rails reinstalled, is to either drill the mounting holes out to 3/8", allowing the rail to move towards the front of the box, or elongate the mounting holes, whatever it takes to allow the rail
to move ahead. Otherwise, the BedRug material at the back corners of the box is so think the rails can't fit back in where they're supposed to.
So, that's the fitment issue at the back end of the box, moving on-the BedRug engineers obviously didn't account for how tight the tailgate is to the box edge itself. This is very apparent given you can't close the tailgate with the 'hinge' section of the BedRug, which ties the tailgate flap to the main part of the BedRug. The material is way too thick, even though it is somewhat reduced in that area. I know that many of you are possibly used to lifting the hinge section up, so that it sits above the floor, but the actual premise is for it to fit down in between the tailgate and the box.
This was not an issue on any of my other trucks, but it certainly is with this one.
Overall, I'm not a happy camper, and it remains to be seen what BedRug does about it. My dealer friend has already reached out to BedRug almost two weeks ago, but so far the silence is deafening!! I do know he's going to be seeing them at SEMA next week, so it could be interesting.
I'm resuming others have had some, or all, of thesesame issues, so it would be nice to hear from whomever has.
