Gap between Cab and Bed has foam stuff?

[Bob340]

I checked out the gap between the bed and cab and found this foam thing in there. Does it belong there? It seems to be glued in there? Any ideas?

I'm actually glad you posted this thread... I was not aware of this "foam-stuff" as a new Ranger owner.
I read the other older threads and got up to speed.
THANKS!

Ha! Have noticed that stuff as well but haven't done any searches on it yet.

“Keep out road debris and small bits…” is a lie - mine catches all kinds of leaves and junk, I flick it out with a piece of dowel every month or so, might just rip the whole thing out…although the cab’s already wind-noisy…I’d hate to enhance that by removing some insulation….

It's useless in my opinion. Leave it. Take it out. It doesn't matter.

I assumed that was there so that they don't bang the bed against the cab during assembly.

take it out. its more a moisture and debris trap than anything else. Its not properly attached. It doesnt belong there. at all.

Had mobile oil change service the other day and ask about that. At first he said yeah they probably left that in during assembly. But then looked under truck and said no, I think it belongs there as it is attached via clips that don't look temporary.

Mine has been in since I got the truck in April, '24. I'm actually planning to remove it when I reaffix my canopy's front flap/window to the bulkhead. I don't think it's doing any harm, but it's collected a lot of leaves and gumballs from the trees in my yard, and that's not cool.
