2022 without Bed Utility Package Box Link Options?

[cozoomzoom]

I ordered a 22 without the Bed Utility package and the box link mount points are not threaded. What are my options?

Maybe drill then tap and dye ???

Wow. Even my base '21 XL had the holes ready. Can Ford cheap out a little more?

Seems like it would be a mistake. Can't sell the BoxLink kit aftermarket to someone who doesn't have the threads.

A hole. I don't see

any threads.

 

[hotrodmex]

I meant Ford not putting the threads in on purpose, not your assessment of the lack of threads being the mistake.

 

[RedundanT]

I believe some of the kits come with self tapping screws, just don't remember if the one I got did.

Could threads be painted over?

 

[WRS]

The bolts are self-tapping.

Thanks for the clarification!

Thanks!

I ordered when the 2022 order guide wasn't available and really got screwed by the zone lighting and boxlink being included on the 2021 build sheet I submitted... Any idea how to retrofit as much of the package as possible? I'll probably make my own post on this.

I almost did the same thing and did not get the Bed Utility Package at first. I was thinking the tailgate step just came with the Lariat but luckily Chip at Granger told me that it was changed for 2022. I needed that bed package to get the step and a number of other bed options.

I would have been totally bummed if I did not get that step. Good luck hunting.

Correct, am bummed. Unfortunately my status was "being built" all the way back in January and my dealer said there was nothing they could do. Not sure how true that is but i got my shipped email last night.

Just wondering if you found a solution here. I'm In the same boat and going to pick up my truck next week. Ordered in December when this stuff was included. Argh. I really need the locking cleats asap and was planning on just ordering a battery operated bed light.
Thanks
