Does everyone have this padding underneath their bed? I noticed it had come loose on the passenger side, but isn't on the driver side. Maybe it already fell off on that side. I'll likely just rip it off as I'm not sure what purpose it really serves.

Call your dealer... there is a recall for the sound deadening material coming off and causing damage to the driveshaft

That looks very different than the material above the driveshaft.

Looks like that's above the exhaust that bends around the rear axel. Not sure I'd rip it off if that's there to prevent a spot in the bed from getting hot.

It's definitely not the insulation above the driveshaft, and this is partially laying on the frame, not the exhaust system.

I had the same issue a few weeks ago and took my truck into the dealer. The adhesive holding mine up failed. They cleaned the area and reapplied the adhesive between the bed and that material. Quick easy fix

My Plat had/has the same issue. Seen it the day i brought it home. Got underneath to check things out. Discovered several places where harnesses weren't plugged in with their fasteners and hung loose. Ford quality?

Mine was a little loose at one corner. Cleaned the edges and put foil adhesive tape all around, staying up nicely now.

Yeah, that's even worse. I've not done a full inspection, but everything around the generator wiring looked good.

I still don't know what purpose this material even serves though?

I think it's to keep heat from the bend in the exhaust pipe as it goes over the axel and gets near the underside of the bed from making a hot spot in the bed.

Just clean up both surfaces to get rid of any loose dirt or gravel, spray both sides with contact cement, wait 10 min and then push it back where it belongs. Easy-peasy...

Pretty sad that’s still falling off 1.5 years later my early build 2021 was. I just used adhesive to glue it on. Sad they still haven’t fixed it. I sold my pos truck. Wayyyy to many problems and recalls. What a joke.
good luck just glue it takes 5 min.
