So it's fine other than having to remove the tie down? No rubbing or anything? That's good to know. That must have been what I saw was referring to.

 

Have you installed it yet? I see your signature says your truck is on order. The reason I ask is that one of the reviews says it doesn't work on a 2021.

 

If it is and does fit a 21, you can buy a little cheaper on ebay. FYI

 

No...I put it on my '20 XLT. I'm pretty sure the Lariats have them from the factory, and that is what I have on order. I was thinking I had saw somewhere where someone had put one on a '21 model and it fit. I could be mistaken on that though.
There are parts / accessories that will interchange from gen 13 to gen 14...but I do not know first hand if this part will.

 

I would not remove that tie down to install the 3rd party device. Spend the money and install the Ford part, IMO. Do it right!

 

Here is a pic of the Dee Zee install. This tie down is in the way and must be removed. The cable hits it when closing. When this is removed, it works great.

 

I put one on my 2016, thought only seems effective about 3/4 of the way down. Till then, it feels like it is not doing much at all.
