2018 front stake hole pockets
I have a 2018 Lariat SuperCrew 5.5 bed. Can anyone confirm that it still has Front Stake Pockets under the plastic rail covers. I want to cut it out and put some tie downs (DIY Bike rack over BakFlip MX4). Thanks! |

2018 Front stake hole pockets
the truck came with a drop in liner so I cannot see under and that is why I am asking. |
Ok thanks. Why Ford decides to cover this hole is beyond me. The back one, as you say is perfectly capped and easily accessible. They make the customer drill and cut a brand new truck. I asked 2 Ford dealers if the pocket holes exist and if the measurements are the same as previous years and they both had no clue. |

The front pockets have no such cap. You have to drill a pilot hole in the plastic rail above the pocket and use a utility knife to cut the plastic out to the edge of the pockets.

I think uts Bull Ring that has the patented router bit. They named it Bull Ring Router Bit :) Again, why they are not pre-cut is such a scam. |

Installed an adarac on my 2018 Lariat. Drilled a hole in the centre of the pocket so l could see my exact location, then drilled a hole in each corner. Then used a jig saw to cut the plastic cover using the metal pocket side as a guide.If you don't get the cut line just right, the large size utility knife cuts the plastic pretty easy. |
