I've never noticed if there's a key number on the lock. If there is you can try the dealer or search on line.
The only thing I've been able to find is a set of cleats with keys or the official "Contact your dealer"

That's a fairly easy lock to pick if you are unable to find keys. Should be cheap with a locksmith. Then you could replace the cleats with factory boxlink or any number of E-track attachments.

There is a number stamped next to the key port. Ford Parts should be able to supply a key. I would go back to you dealer and tell them was no key in the box.

Last I checked it was cheaper to have a locksmith pick and re-key the cylinders than to order a set off the key code.

Ordered a set from a Ford dealer for $24.95.

My dealer had no idea, so I visited another. They knew exactly what to order. Simple & cheap.

Default Same thing

i bought a used '15 a couple of months ago and it too had no Boxlink keys. The salesman was able to get a new set through Ford in a week or so using the code on the lock itself.
No charge for me!

I took the cleats off, brought to a locksmith, and he installed new tumblers for a few bucks each that I negotiated the dealer pay for.
