Am I missing something as to why some people are paying for these and some people are getting it done for free? I was told it was a customer satisfaction recall and I didn't have to pay for anything if I wanted it done.
I've read about a few people getting them for free.
But for most you had to buy a topper from Ford to get the j-braces free and installed for free.

This thread prompted me to call my Dealer to ask. The advisor said maybe, but had to ask the manager, who said they were sticking to the verbiage of the CSP: J-braces + install covered thru 7/31/25 only if I buy the factory bed cap.

II visited my dealership to schedule my first service appointment and get the J braces installed. I had purchased the braces last fall but hadn’t had them installed yet. However, the dealership informed me that they couldn’t proceed with the installation because they had to order the brace kit to receive payment from Ford for the entire CSP work. They insisted that I contact Ford to inquire about any other possible solutions, but the Ford Rep went along with the dealership’s decision. They did check into the availability of the brace kit, but unfortunately, there was no date set for delivery. Consequently, I’m stuck in this situation even though I already have the parts. It’s incredibly frustrating!

Super easy to install! I got tired of waiting on Ford and got the EGR, vert stout! Took me hour and fifteen.

My first service for a 2024 Ranger Raptor. The dealer installed the J braces for free when I mentioned I'm planning on adding 3rd party rack and tent on the sides. Might just be this dealer I went to, who knows. Of course now I have to deal with bed rack manufacturers not having a clue that there is a huge gap under the plastic moldings on the sides and those moldings don't support any kind of weight on their own, even though they claim they tested them, so watch out 🙄
What's next, Ford? How many more surprises should I expect? I'm starting to get sick of them.
