Installed the Ford swing out toolbox over my modular bed liner today

[RichD]

Used the Ford accessories code (SUMMER2026) and got 20% off. The installation was pretty straightforward other than a few little glitches. It turns out that there’s still some red Loctite left on my tiedown bolts so I had to get them cleaned up again. The main bracket that attaches to the side of the bed won’t fit unless you not the corner of the modular bed liner. A multi two tool works perfect for that. You also have to drill two holes to the bed liner where it mounts at the very back. I used a uni bit to make it a lot easier. I also had to notch the base of the bedliner at the tailgate. My main concern was that it might interfere with the handle on my tiger, trifold bed cover, but you swing the toolbox out, secure the handles and then put the toolbox back in place and it clears just perfectly. Very happy with it overall but be warned you do have to take the tiedown bolts out and those are Torx 40+.

Kinda blocks the plugs guess you can't use them at the same time.

curious on OP's feeback here - how tight is the clearance?

I ordered the passenger side swingout box for that exact reason, fearing the interference with the power panel there - hoping to get it situated this week
