I just looked this up today, the tailgate assist requires a t50 and a t30. Modular bed liner requires a t30, t25, and an ip40, along with a 7 mm socket.

I didn't torque to the specified number when I put in the Drop-In Bedliner as I didn't want to strip them because they were about to slip.
Having the correct Torx Plus tools will allow me to tighten those and others to the right torque

I just told my friend who has a Lariat Lux about the bottle cap remover on their lift gate

I'll just use an extra regular torx plus female headed screw.
Are those regular Torx?

T50 and 30 are, the ip40 is not.

Well, without having the whole torx plus set it'd certainly be MAKIN' DO, FOR NOW 🫠I'll just use an extra regular torx plus female headed screw.

Just re-read this, does this mean the undershield or skid plate bolts are torx plus as well? (Don't have the truck yet)I hoping, and guessing not! But as far as other areas including the undershield or skid plate, etc, since we know 3 different sizes are used in the bed, might as well pick up a set with a good range of sizes like huunvubu did so that if the torx plus shows up anywhere else, you already have the bits/sockets on hand to prevent delays in completing your project or service.

I personally haven't crawled underneath yet to check those.
I believe the large bolt holding down the D-ring is M8 (TP40), the sidewall tie-downs M6 (TP27), and I discovered the 8 small screws on the tailgate panel are actually sheet metal screws (TP25)!

Ford is big on using Torx plus and E Torx Plus. Allot of the body panels mostly not so much the mechanical components unless we are talking cam phasers.

For the '22 Hybrid, the fibrous shield uses standard T30. T25 if you don't mind a sloppy fit.

Or stripping the bolt heads and/or your T25 lol. Why would you use a T25 when a T30 is what they are? This is a weird post. First time I've seen someone say that too.
Well, to anyone who decides to use a T25 instead, be prepared to use a rubber band to fill the gaps around the bit once the bolt heads are stripped.
TL;DR
If all you have is a T25, get a T30.
