5th Wheel Mount Point Covers
Where can I get the plastic cap and flange that covers the four mount points in the 2017 F250 bed? My dealer is 75 miles away, and I don't really feel like driving 150 miles for a couple of plastic pieces...

Reese might make some for the hitch since they are the ones who make the Ford setup. I would call the selling dealer and tell them to mail a set since they were not in the truck at delivery.
Also, have you check your truck for them? They should be in places such as under the rear seat or behind it.

I'm new here, so if I wind up in the wrong area on the starting line, don't shoot! I just bought a like new (4275 miles!), show room new, 2017 F250 XLT 4x4 Lariat 6.7 yada yada yada, and am just getting started learning about it. I go way back with trucks, diesels, and all that, but this thing is something else - me & my neighbor, school trained diesel mechanic/electronics technician have yet to see the motor under all the stuff under the hood! Used to piddle with deuce & a halfs, but they are like lawmowers next to this thing. I plan on spending some time here to try to learn from you guys - appreciate the opportunity, too.

Larry,
Been through the inside but nothing there. I'm trying to guilt the salesman into getting them for me - paid cash for the thing, I figure the dealership can spring for a few pieces of plastic. I just hate to leave something uncovered that has a cover made for it. Like old farm guys who put cans over all the vertical tractor/implement exhaust pipes (guilty...)...

Welcome aboard MajDad. I would try the dealer first and then try Reese. If you need a template to fabricate from I live in Camden, SC and my truck has the cheap rubber inserts.. I regularly commute to Sumter as my Dad retired from Shaw, AFB.

Thanks - I'm talking with the salesman at the dealership (Berkeley in Monck's Corner) and I think he will get them for me. I sent him the parts numbers; if that fails, I'll find them somewhere like Reese, or maybe the local dealership. Or Bubba's Junkyard

Thanks, bobv60 - I found some on Reese for the gooseneck hole cover, but not the 5th wheel. I did find them at FordLincolnPartsDepot.com, but the set of cap & flange is ~$20 + shipping. I'm going to badger the dealer for them for now...

Just a quick update - the dealership ordered me a complete set of all the caps/covers in the bed - as usual, I get myself worked up prematurely. Just call me a cynical paranoiac...
