Hole--eee Ranger

[Grumpaw]

Ever taken a close...really close look at the bed of your Ranger...at least the Supercab ?
On the top rail just behind the rear window, 2 holes exist. But, drivers side is an oval, while passenger side is round.
Drivers side wall...large square hole with small round hole next to it, but on passenger side...nada, nothing, no holes.
Plus the 2 extra holes on either side of the front upper bed walls (a 3/4 inch rubber plug fits those perfectly)
Not counting the holes that are threaded for the non-existent tie downs. Those are there so Ford can get $$$$ from us for their stuff.
I can only surmise that the person whose job it is as a "hole puncher" has an eyeball problem.
That and, what are all the extra holes for ???

I would reduce my caffeine intake. Or find a hobby.

Steve, I looked for those on my 2020 and didn't see them but have a spray-in and might have been covered. It would interesting to find out what those are for. Could you post a picture?

That’s to lighten up the driver side to lessen the “lean” of the truck! ?

Maybe get a dog

I do have plenty of hobbies....
I am constantly searching for the elusive "Giant Shrimp", and the guy who "digs holes". Have met lots of people who dig dirt to remove it to leave a hole, but never met anyone who "digs holes"
My quest continues.

Yeah, I'll take a few pics.

...but never met anyone who "digs holes"

Reminds me of a line from an old British sitcom 'The Young Ones'.

"Do you dig graves?"
"Yeah, they're alright"

2 odd holes...
Square hole on one side...
Extra holes (I plugged) on front upper bed sides.

The rectangle hole is for the wolf-haus plug!

 

[Grumpaw]

Figured it out...their drain holes in case the water level gets too high in the bed !

My service department told me:

These are for one of the Ford tonneau covers.

Ford bed lights.

Bolt holes for the tonneau cover previously mentioned.

If the holes are "standard equipment" then the stuff that fills them should be "standard" also !!!
Common sense !!!

I have a thousand inappropriate replies for this.

I agree...a hole that is not being used is worthless !
