Has anyone noticed their front bumper at an angle to the front grille? I was washing our brand new 4xe and noticed a gap difference. I got out my tape measure and there is over a half inch difference from side to side.

Wow, I'm used to this from Ford! I just checked mine and I'm about near 3 inches measured at that same spot at both side. Mine is in perfect balance.

I've actually been impressed with the alignments and paint on my 4xe so far.

I'd get to dealer ASAP in case there was some kind of mishap before you took possession or you have some potential safety issue.

Good luck and let us know the outcome.

Look up under there and see how it’s mounted. See if it’s something loose or missing piece of some kind.

Just checked mine. 3” from grill to bumper on each side. The piece under the bumper is not spaced evenly to the grill. Half inch off maybe. I will crawl under there tomorrow if I get a chance.

I agree the paint job is very good on these, especially the fenders. Overall we are happy, just a few things I would have expected them to catch. Here is a sticker on the backside of the charge port panel that is hanging over on the class A surface.

I have some of that white stuff too where the wiper insert is located. I guess it's a protective film. I haven't been able to get it off.

I found the problem! I crawled under the Jeep and found the front grille was not fully seated. Once I snapped all those features in, the grille is now parallel with the bumper.
