Default Drop In Bed Liner

My wife just bought a 2013 FX4 with a Ford drop in bed liner but it has no tie down points, no cut outs or anything. Could someone tell me if there's a template to cut out or where to add some tie downs?

They are typically east to remove and put back in. Push sides in, put some scrap 2x4 between side of liner and bed. Do same along other side. Pull out.

Hopefully tie downs will be there (under liner).

Take the bed liner to the landfill. Replace it with a bed mat. Thank me later.

Or even better, a spray in liner and a bed mat. I couldn’t imagine using a drop in. Nothing would stay in place.

There should be access holes with plugs that can be removed to access the tie down points - If you don't want to replace it and slipping is a concern, Bedrug has a product that just covers the floor of bed.

My old drop in in my '77 (put in in 1992) was slick enough was easy to adjust loads. Every thing slid in it. It was a Dura-liner.
I just put a new one in last year after a complete body / bed redo, this one is a Penda-liner, and it has a grippy ingredient in the mix, it's damn near like rubber in grippy-ness, stuff does not slide in it ... not at all. My old one, when wet, would put you on you'r butt in a hurry ... not so with this new one. If seated, it even grips your jeans.

In my '07 with 6.5 bed, it has a spray in Line-X. A friend was gonna burn a short bed Chevy drop in just to be rid of it (he bought a new Ford SD truck, liner wouldn't fit long bed), so I grabbed it, cut the sides off, kept the front wall and parts of sides that were beside the fender tubs, it fit a 6.5 foot Ford perfectly lengthwise. and is an "easy to drag out to & spray clean" floor to protect the Line-X from cuts or other damage, like cinder blocks, metal, etc.
