When I look in the side mirrors, the bed curves inward towards the back!!

I’ve not really noticed any curvature of the bed just less width than the cab.

Wait till you see the slight crease in your rear view mirror from the back of your fuel door straight up to the bed rail … I’ve had 3 white gladiators and all 3 had it …

Already spotted that and I didn’t notice it on my 2020. I thought it was a little wavy or dent

OP: The bed hasn't changed. Your mirrors, fender type or perception has.

I can't know if you are going insane. But maybe your OCD has adjusted. LOL. Love of a new Jeep, or any vehicle, has it's mental stimulation. One may be always looking for errors... especially if you financed it. LOL

It's all good.

Be well. Jeep on.

This reminds me of the day I realized my Comanche's bed was wider at the back than the front. Bought wheels that were perfectly flush with the front flares and when I installed them in the back they were tucked in. Whole truck is tapered front to rear.

Sometimes things that appear to be flaws in design are intentional, because when you do make them correct they look weird. Like slight asymmetry in logos or how you need to make certain letters slightly taller than others or they look wrong. Other times things are just off.

If the bed is narrower than the cab, it's 100% intentional for one reason or another. If the bed is off center, it's just assembled sloppily.
