I work in a warehouse where lots of truckers leave their brand new straps behind in the trailers. I’ve got about 40 of them sitting in a file cabinet in my office. I stopped collecting them years ago because I ran out of room to store them.

He has the plates from a '23 or older, which you can buy from Ford or on Amazon and they swap right in place of the 'new' plates. Then that is a ratchet strap meant for E-track, but it hooks right in to that style of plates. It is 100% incompatible with the new plates.

So the new style Ford put on my truck, doesn't have anything that works with them?

A good portion of truck owners do not use their trucks as trucks, they just go online and buy stuff, those people are soccer moms with dicks. I recommend that you either buy the D-rings I bought for $50, a set of knockoff box links for $40 or a set of stake pocket anchors for $50.

Any of those three will work just fine for 99% of the people that actually use their trucks. The high $ stuff is just for bragging rights.

Nope. They are just a loop you can put the hook of a ratchet strap or bungee cord in. Thats it.

Westin mat came in this morning, this thing is a beast, 8ft long, 1/4" thick, 60#. Had to get the misses to help me get it in the bed.

This completes my bed for now. Down the road I may add the 400w AC outlet to power my 36qt cooler.

I just worked with a gentleman off the forum trying to source the 6 pin connectors for the 120v/400w dash plug. I haven't heard back from him yet if they are correct or not. They were not an easy find.

Dislike those oem plates. The hooks on my straps didn't fit in and I had to screw around with them. The D-rings are much easier.
