Hello All

I just picked up a 2016 XLT 302a Sport with the 3.5 Ecoboost and a 5.5 box.
I have two questions does anyone have a back rack on there 5.5' bed and how do you find the stake pockets?

Thanks and sorry if this has been asked I tried to search it.

 

Do you need the stake pockets for a back rack?
I thought they just clamped to the side bed rails?

 

Is that a 2015/16 ?? Looks like a 2014 tailgate

 

The rack uses the front stake pockets to bolt onto.

 

Third video down on this page shows details - they also have a special router type bit for clearing out the front hole space.

Thanks for the info. I'm thinking my 2016 my be different. It has different looking plastic box rails then that shown in video do I'm thinking that for a 2014 or before.
