The BoxLink plates mount over most covers. I already have a few E-track accessories. I figure, whoever has the most tie downs, bungees, and ratchet straps, wins!

I plan to get the OEM bed light switch, and connect it to a strip of lights that run the length under each bed rail. I will top it off with a BakFlip G2.
The Ford drop in liner has cutouts for the Box Links such that mounting plates remains attached to bed wall (metal to metal). The Duraliner has molded the bed wall whereby the Box Link plate must be removed and reattached sandwiching the liner between Box Link mounting plate and the bed wall. That seems better as it prevent material like sand and mulch from falling inside the liner and bed. So why did not Ford do it that way? Knowing Ford Engineering, the stability of the Box Link is not as stable with the plastic sandwich. I really Duraliner a lot but opted for the Ford factory drop in liner.

My 2016 came with a Ford drop in. So did my 2013 STX and 2000 Lightning.
My 89 Shelby Dakota had a drop in. The Lightning had the drop in for 16 years so far and the Dakota had one for 11 years before I traded it.


I have never had any trouble caused by drop in liners. They are tough as hell and easy to clean. So what if it scuffs the paint. I have never had any rust problems but then again I don't live up north.
