Cannot be used with a bed extender and absolutely can be used under a flat, folding cover. While researching mine, I saw several trucks with the folding covers that had them. There's easily a few inches of clearance.
Who does this? Glad they weren't running low on lug nuts... "Just put 5 on each wheel, we'll let the customer buy some more"
Knowing Ford (and most manufacturers) I'm honestly happy my truck came with any at all. Most of the time those are add on accessory items.
Not sure how you know Ford, but if these tie downs are purposely deleted, there is a paperwork trail to be able to accomplished such a deletion. I wish I had access to this sort of info to help nail down the reason some folks get all six and some only get 4.
Just a general statement about seeing what vehicles come equipped with from the factory after 5+ years of dealership parts counter work.
Hi Erik,
They supplied 6 all along.. then for a couple months they supplied 4.. now they are supplying 6 again. Folks ordering them from parts couldn't get them, now they can. All the documentation online says 6.
Mine only had 4 which I thought was odd and have not spoken to dealership about it yet. So has anyone been able to get the missing 2? If so did you have to order and pay or did FORD send them to you at no charge? BTW anyone have any preferences for bed floor and tailgate liners? Rug or rubber? I reside in SO CAL Desert so not sure if there rubber would suffer even though under a tonneau cover? Thanks in advance.
Bed Rug
I talked to the dealer last Thursday. They ordered 2 tie downs and 4 screws which totals out to about $45. The tie downs are back ordered until mid November. The Service Manager said he would turn it in on a warranty form, and they'd take care of it for me.
Thank you, mine only had 4 with middle 2 missing also. Will talk to dealer about it and show this forum if need be.
My 1st ranger had them all. The V2 only had 4 so the dealer removed two from my original truck and gave them to me. At least they did not remove from another truck on the lot and pass the problem to another buyer... I really like Vista Ford.
