Bed T Slot Rails?

[NPTR]

Struggling to find something pretty simple - my Tacoma had these rails that mounted on the front and sides of the bed (up top) that were just a super simple rail with a T slot that allowed me to mount accessories around the bed. Most importantly, I used the front rail for bike mount points and the side rails for some off road accessories.

Anyone seen something super simple like this for the RR yet? Feels like they should be around, maybe I’m just not searching right…

Thank you!

Many bed covers have the t-slots on the long sides of the beds for accessories.

I got rails with them when I ordered it, the cargo management rails. They have them on ford website, but it's only the sides not the front

Ford offers an accessory "Cargo Management Rail System." Someone did a post with pictures here:

I'm personally installing L-Track in my XLT, but that's a totally custom thing

I plan to add aircraft style rails on the sides, from Mac’s Custom Tie-downs, using 0.5” aluminum spacers to keep from crushing the plastic.

Anything mounted on top will require solid stake pocket spacers. What a #%^*! design this is….

For that rail on the bulkhead did u just use the existing holes there with rivnuts or what?

I used the center slotted hole which I'll use with a nut and fender washer. I'm using the two existing M8 weld nuts for the ends (won't be able to place the tie-downs on the end). For the rest I drilled on 6" centers and will be using nut and fender washer. I try not to use rivnuts when I don't have to for higher pull-out loaded items like this.

The track I'm putting under the bed rails is using mostly existing weldnuts but there are a few places where I am drilling and using rivnuts to keep the span short between attachment points.
