06 Bed Extender in 13?
Does an 06 bed extender fit in a 2013 truck? I know I'd likely have to buy the bolts and bushings to go in the holes, but are they there and does everything line up?

I just moved my bed extender from a 2005 Lariat to a 2010 XLT last weekend. I needed to tap the bushing in the center hole to install the threaded pivot points and then just snapped the plastic pieces from the old truck into the top and bottom holes of the new truck. I believe the tap was a metric 1.5. The alignment for my switch was spot on. I don't know if the 2013 bed is different from 2010 but for mine, no problem.

Just a note to say thanks for confirming that my old extender could be used in my 2013. I tapped the bushings in my 2013 XLT with 3/8-16 threads and it fits just fine. I am going to get the plastic bushings tomorrow.
