Tie Down Cleats

[BigJim]

My 2024 PB has the new system of tie downs that started in June. Does anyone know where (hopefully Amazon) that would fit?

The plates look like this:

Did you look under your rear seat? My 22 came with them but no one told me.

Just looked. Did not see any. Was it under the Jack - I did not remove it?

The ones that came with my 22's were in a plastic bag laying on the seat. I may be wrong, but I think those are part of the dealer prep, so they should have provided them in a fairly obvious place.

This a off this topic, but it looks like when they "installed" your spray-in bed liner that they did remove the tie down bracket. I had mine done by Line-X, they removed all of the brackets, sprayed almost everywhere, and then reinstalled the brackets. I assumed this was how everyone did it, but apparently not. I can see some advantages and disadvantages to both approaches, but I think I prefer the having the brackets removed before spraying.

The new style plates that came on the trucks built starting the week of 6/10 do not come with the cleats. You would need to buy the old style plates and cleats if you want them. Ford went cheap on these. Fortunately for me, mine was built 6/3 and I got the cleats. The 2024 Super Duty comes with the same plates that came on yours.

No they were just under seat on the floor. I will go look at my mounts see if anything changed.from 22 to 24,

My spray in liner was done by Ford. The keys for the tonneau cover, also installed by Ford, were not delivered when I picked the truck up - just got the keys late yesterda.

Thanks for the info. Would you know how I would find what fits on the new style plates? Ford just have changed them for a reason is my thinking.

I haven’t seen anything that fits the new plates. Best bet may be to order the old style plates and cleats.

Or possibly your dealer has a used truck on the lot with the old plates and cleats that they would let you make a swap?

I'm glad my 2024 KR was made on 6/3 because I got the old system.

Boxlink is mostly useless. It looks to me like you have nearly the same functionality with less complexity and protrusion into the bed. Unless you have a specific need, I wouldn't go out of your way to install the old system.

I have the old style as well and honestly dont even understand the design. I would be perfectly fine with the new ones. Seems easier to get a strap to it. I do understand the old plates work with E-Track accessories but thats about the only loss.

It'd be nice if the plate they came out with was actually e-track compatable. The Boxlink plates left something to be desired with fitment.
