Ford 2016 F350 4x4 Vacuum Cleaner
My 2016 Ford F350 with topper sucks dust into the bed and along the door seals. I would say a 'Dust Bucket' but a Vacuum Cleaner is just as appropriate.
My Tundra's from 2006 to 2014 were much tighter in the seals around the four doors and the tail gate was fitted tighter. I took some rubber foam tape and even sealed the gap at the tail gate hinges to minimize that for dust 'inhaling' on the Tundra.
I will have to find a dealership and compare body fit and seals with a Tundra, but maybe the Tundra door seals are positioned closer to the edges of the doors.
My first Ford Truck. The body fit seems to be a bit loose in the gap between panels. The gaskets around the cab doors could use some work to prevent dust from piling up. The hinge line at the tail gate you can see daylight when closed.
Yes... I use our truck on roads that are not paved. Some in Nevada are 75 miles, or a hundred miles of 'improved gravel'. The dust plume is like a rocket launch from the rear view mirrors and the dust coming in is excessive.
The Airstream had minimal dust inhalation into the interior... But my F350 cannot resist hauling all of the dust it can. Has any new Ford owner discovered this? Maybe I had expected better sealing, but was a bit surprised at the volume of dust.
