ok - found something for my 13:
Amazon.com: headrest clothes hook

I got the talus car hooks - hangs off the back of the headrest --- not a solution, but better than nothing !

Following.....

This might be worth looking into...won't solve the problem of the rear window but would make it easier to hang clothes.....

We just purchased 2 new trucks from Ford. One was the 2016 F150 (it has the hooks right over the side windows where you'd expect them to be. Perfect for our Clothing rod) The other was the 2016 F350, and we never thought to look for hooks when we were testing the truck. That would have been an extremely important factor since we travel from Texas to Canada and coast to coast. We (being Hubby and myself) NEED a place for clothes to hang constantly. We have only found 3 options for this problem.
1. (not our best option) Take the smaller truck...
2. Raise the back rest on the back seat and place the hangers around the metal part of them. We have to divide the clothes up, they then have to lay across the seat or across whatever other luggage we have in the seat.
3. On the hooks in the back window, place a metal ring (like the bathroom towel rings) or a zip tie that is securely hooked. this allows us to hang more clothes on the ring (or zip tie) than we could have on the hook. - Problem with it is the hook comes off every time you take any of the clothes off Unless your lucky enough to have one with a hole in it. (Hubby is looking into drilling his own hole into the thing)
Not a solution really ... but options.

I just put I zip tie through mine and use that. Stock only hold my light jacket. My Carhart just falls of it even on a hanger.

clothing hooks in my 2013 explorer

I travel back and forth from Florida to Michigan and like to hang some of my clothes on a bar suspended between the 2 hooks. On two separate trips the plastic hooks have broken as soon as I hit a bump. The hook itself is very thin plastic and cheaply done, given the $40k plus price for the vehicle. i will now suspend the bar from twine and tie each end to the roof rack rather than replace another plastic hook for $75.

I found posts about this problem going back to 2012 and now in 2022 there does not seem to be a viable solution. If the plastic clips are as fragile as they look then I need to investigate replacing them with a metal hook that is larger and stronger.

Holy necroposting, Batman!

All kidding aside, I have a 2016 and HATE the flimsy, tiny hook over the rear window. It's useless.

I've used the clothes bar in my 2012, then moved it to this 2021. This bar is from wally world and have not had a problem with it breaking the hangers above the doors. As seen in the pictures its secured using zip ties to keep it in place.






Almost 10 years using it.

Very familiar with the clothes bar. Unfortunately, the design changes made to the Super Duty Crew Cab since 2012 did not lend itself to using it.

My 2016 Supercab is like that with the hooks on the back of inside cab instead of above the rear door. I hate that change and glad the 2021 was switched back.

I think the newer crew cabs switched back to the side hooks too. I believe Ford originally moved them to accommodate the side-curtain air bags. It looks like it took a couple of years and enough people to complain to convince Ford to figure it out from an engineering standpoint.

I have decided to use cable ties to hold a clothes bar in place. Pulling on the plastic coat hooks there was a lot of movement with very little force applied. I would expect a full clothes rod to either break off the plastic clip or pull it out from the headliner. The advantage of the grab handles on my Chevy truck was that they were engineered to support the weight of a person getting into the cab. The Ford clothes hooks are only intended to support the weight of a couple of coats.

Every truck manufacturer has serious design defects made by product development people who do not bother to talk to customers or review forums. My Chevy 2500 4WD has the 4WD selector switch and lights located where it cannot be seen by the driver. With my 2022 F-150 the light control is in the same location and I cannot make changes safely while driving, like turning on the fog lamps.

I used a piece of rope to make a loop between the hooks, worked out great.
