Name of Driver Side Electrical Panel Cover in Truck Bed

[RedHotChiliPickles]

Does anyone know or have a link to the large electrical panel cover on the driver side of the truck bed? I am trying to add bed lights with a switch and don't really want to cut into the OEM part. Anyone search query I put into Google is not producing anything. I would be forever grateful if you have a link or perhaps even a 3D print file for a replacement. Thank you!

If you mean the bed cubby faceplate, I am not sure if you can just buy the faceplate versus the entire cubby.
Part number for the cubby is:
NZ6Z-60286A72-A

Thank you! Does this fit on both sides? This looks like the one that's on the passenger side. The driver side on mine just has 4 bolts and not the removable door panel.

It does fit both sides. I confirmed that when I bought 2 of them. There was a time when some people claimed there was both a NZ6Z-60286A72-A and a NZ6Z-60286A72-B (A being for one side and B for the other).

But after having a parts department look into it, B doesn't exist. Only A. And A does fit both drivers and passenger side locations.

I appreciate your response!

if this is what you're talking about-
not exactly a cover but rather an outlet/light/switch plate.

not interchangeable with a cubby cover plate. sorry can't help with part #

I have a base model XLT, so mine doesn't have all that newfangled electrical wired into it. It's just a cover that gives you access to the electrical wiring just to the left of it.

Tangentially related, can people give me an idea what they use the 400w outlet for? My calcs show that is about 3.3-ish amps and I don't think that will run a blender for a tailgate party or when camping.

A fellow Scoutmaster uses the bed 120 volt outlet for a CPAP device when camping.

As most blenders are rated 1000 to 1500 watts, wouldn’t recommend using it for this purpose. Both the bed and backseat outlets are rated for 400 watts. I recall the owner manual stating this is the max wattage when both are used simultaneously.

Thankfully I don't need to use a CPAP. I was wondering out loud here in print why Ford goes to the expense of including the 400 watt outlet since its use seems so limited?

I suppose it will power a small air pump for an air mattress, etc. I guess I can plug the charger for my Milwaukee 20v power tools into it. I'll check the amp rating on that. But with all the battery issues hybrids have, how smart is that? [I don't expect you to have that answer - I am just musing]
