Got them as an add-on to my 2018 XLT and transferred them to my 2020. I haven't used them very much yet but I do like having them there.

Favor to ask you, or anyone else willing to.. Can someone post some pix if the different Etrax tie downs installed in the box link? Thanks!

You could probably even do it yourself with a scrap metal strip screwed to the plate to fill the gap...that would probably only cost you $10 for everything (for the mod, not Etrack) from Home Depot.

They have been steadily decontenting the trucks by moving included features up the trim packages since.

It has never been standard on any 01 trucks.

In Canada, it was / is standard since 2015 on the 302a and above, on 301's it is not standard. (bought 2 of each truck since 2016)
