Default Bed Torx screw size

I'm going to be adding a Dual Liner bedliner in my 2012 F150 tomorrow. I was wondering if anyone knew what size torx the torx screws are for the cargo tie downs and the tailgate screws.

Thanks for the info, it makes it a lot easier knowing a head of time.

Thanks, the T30 Torx spec helped me get it done without having to size it. Thanks, it saved me some time.

I tried 2 different T-30 and although they will turn if you hold the tool with both hands, they are too loose. They really feel like im using a T-27. I double checked my tools because of it.
Any other thoughts?

Third times a charm. I bought a Craftsman 3/8 socket T-30 and it worked fine. It went in deeper than the ones I had been using.

Ftr they are Torx PL screws not regular torx. Might explain t27/t30 issue. Wiha makes a set I grabbed for these. The fit much more secure.
