Yeah Ford says use M6 bolts in all their documentation for the DIY bed rails - it's actually M8 tho.

The tailgate threads likely use the same M8 bolts

I would say m8 also but I haven’t found any threaded holes on the tail gate of my xlt either.

The holes are on either side of the tailgate,3 near the top and 2 at bottom.

Mine are all M8. The cubby bolts are M6. On mine anyway.

I used these to install some D rings and they were a perfect fit

They may be M8, but the M8-1.25 bolts I bought at Tractor Supply don't want to thread in. Looking at the hole, it looks like a finer thread. I plan to try M8-1.00 bolts, and will try to remember to report back.
