Wish the cover had a lock. Heck I wish it was beefier or made of metal too.

Great option, I‘m assuming that the Ford spray in bedliner doesn't affect access to the face plates. Can anybody confirm?

Cam locks are readily available for under $15. You do need to know the length of the shaft.

I want to add a 2nd cubby to the drivers side of my XLT. Where should I order the cubby (I assume it's the same L or R) and bolts?

What about the bed light option will that be something us XLers can add?

Not only that, how about the bed light/outlet panel? I can't believe it would be that difficult to hook up if you already have the inverter.

I'm interested in that too...the XL I just picked up has the inverter. Although my wife keeps reminding me that we still have the Lariat on order and this is just supposed to be a stop-gap until that one (finally) arrives. But I'm impatient and want to start tinkering!

What is the difference between the XL and the XLT cubby .........

Can either of the rear cubbys on the XLT or Lariat have a simple keyed lock installed?

 

[STARCOMMTREY1]

I'm sure they can. The factory lock on there looks very much like one you'd see on an office desk without the key slot.
I'm going to bring the door to a locksmith. I'm hoping it'll be a simple thing

Do a mag lock. Simple, cheap, and no one will figure it out. Just a steel barrel pin and a magnet.

If you look at the inverter - located in back of the rear seat back on the driver's side - you'll see a thick [wrapped in black] cable going to the back of the front console to power the console outlet. From the same inverter box, there should be another thick black cable that would be going to driver's side of the bed to power the bed outlet on those vehicles that are so equipped ... the trick on the XL is to find if this cable is indeed available somewhere reachable behind the bed panel ... to find oiut, if someone could remove the cubby hole cover on the XL driver's side and stick a phone camera [shooting in "night sight" setting] and see if the pictures show some kind of wire bundle/ harness just attached somewhere reachable on the inside of the bed panel ... if this indeed is there, then on the driver's side of the bed one could install the bed outlet + the light by simply having the right cubby hole cover install ... so, those of you with a XL with an inverter in back of the center console, could you shoot a few "night sight" pictures inside the bed walls looking towards the driver and see what you see ... if you have one of those "real time" flexible scope cameras, even better. And lastly, it wouldn't hurt to look at the unrside of the bed from below to see if the cable is attached/ terminated somewhere in there. I don't have my XL delivered yet. Happy hunting.

That's actually not bad at all. I didn't know that, thanks.

Just register the truck in the app and points will show up. Putting the VIN in alone doesn’t work
