2022 Ford Ranger SuperCrew Bed Question

[JT2022RangerOwner]

Does anyone know what accessory or purpose is of these bed side slots and what appears to be screw holes (see arrow pointer) that are on each bed side directly behind the wheel wells. Thanks...

More anchor points.

Those holes can be used for another tie-down point and also for the bracket for the swing-out tool case.

You can get M8 bolts on Amazon and put them in. I just had to chip away a bit at the bed liner in those holes with a punch tool.

I bought a set of factory tie downs for that location. I use mine all the time, as it provides a 3rd contact for strapping down wood.

I also have a pair of eyebolts up front as there is 1 extra M8 tapped hole above the front tie downs.

The ones near the tailgaet are M6 size for accessories, like the bed extender, or swing case

An artifact of a by-gone era (AKA early 2019), when tailgates were damperless and all trucks came from the factory with 6 (yes 6!) tiedowns. If you're willing to get a second mortgage on your home (exaggerating, but only slightly), you can buy additional tie-downs from your dealer to put in that spot.
