    My 2020 had a damaged bumper cap (by the dealer) when I bought it and part of the deal was for them to replace it with a new, painted one. Normally things like this don't bother me but I can't NOT see the gap between the cap on the replaced side is noticeably different from the other side.

    Do you think perhaps the metal frame behind the cap was damaged also and not allowing things to line up? Should I just try and ignore it?

    Take it back and have them look at it first.

    The dealer is 3 hours away and honestly not an issue worth that much gas. I didn't notice it when it was done as I was in a hurry and the truck was filthy. And....being a dealership they only "owed" me the cap....didn't specify any other parts.

    Too many, but not enough....
    Is it actually the bumper end cap or the center valence? I looks to me like the bottom part of the center valence is sticking out. If that is the case, i think it would be an easy fix to pull it back by making another hole on the tab under it that bolts to the skid plate.

    Good info! If it isn't the center valance as suggested below I'll pull it off when I get time and see what adjusting I can do.

    I'll check this tomorrow if I get some time. I did go push on the center valance is it does seem overly flexible and can be pushed into correct position.
