Ha Ha. Okay, so I went to go check my FX4 to see about this gap.. I never knew I even had a sliding door. I just thought maybe the cover didn't come on the XLT versions and only the higher trim levels. Turns out, I do have the door, but always leave it opened because of the USB cable and/or charging pad. And of course, the handle for the door slides back into that gap if the door is open.

After reading a few of these threads I had to go check the gap. No way I would lose my IPhone in there. The iPhone charger end just fits in to the gap.

Man, that's messed up. Guess it varies by year, trim, maybe even truck to truck. I can actually fit a finger in my gap. Guess it's weatherstrip time.

I tried to send my iPhone into the gap on my 19 Platinum and no way it would fit. There is definitely a gap, but no where big enough for that.

Big enough for some papers, license, credit cards, etc... but not a phone or glasses.

We lost a $25 restaurant gift down there in my 2018 - it slid out of sight when I braked in the restaurant car park. We got it back by carefully prizing the trim on the side away from the carpet (in the driver’s foot well) and voila, it slid out. I don’t see how on earth you could lose anything much thicker than a credit card in there. Anyway, we are more careful now after that scare!

I agree with both of you, but did you see my picture? My gap is pretty big. So again, either Ford fixed it, or it just varies. Perhaps on earlier 18's it was worse. As you said, I'm MUCH more careful.
