Looking at installing my amp and sub, and a coworker suggested that I check for existing read speaker wires since Ford may NOT use a separate harness when they do not install rear speakers.
My XL regular cab does not have rear speakers but I found this "y" in the harness on the drivers side.
If these are speaker wires then I'll use this location for t-taps for a line level input.
It would be strange for them to have stopped putting speakers in the rear when they have had them in the previous 4 generations. I'm not really sure what advice to give you for wiring unfortunately.

They did. I can't imagine that my audio system would be any lower than the lowest tier available.
Maybe it is different in your truck but usually the speaker wires are in twisted pairs though. I googled a picture because I didn't have one handy, but they should be like these twisted wires. Not sure of the color speaker wire on your particular truck.
If you really don't have rear speakers, then try tracing the wires from the grommet of your front door into the cab. You will have to pull the cover by the parking brake but should be able to find that grouping of wires which should have your speaker wires in it.

The wiring harness in my photo runs along the drivers side seat under the door sill. I didn't see any twisted pairs though.
I've been searching for a wiring diagram all day online as well and I keep coming up empty handed.

Are these the speaker wires?
