The Cargo Management Rail System installed

[StillwaterRaptor]

So I used my ford points to pay for most of these rails. Install was relatively simple. You pull back the bed cap as part of the install rather than remove it all together.
It does look like it will interfere with a rack like the Kuat Ibex, but I’m not totally sure. The three brackets probably get in the way of anything that clamps to the bed rails.
It doesn’t interfere with Decked though. So that’s nice. The instructions were impossible to find pre purchase so here’s a link to them now.

Gotta say that motorcraft instruction link is really nice if you’re looking at any ford accessory.

@StillwaterRaptor, I've been thinking about getting these but seen they were a little on the pricey side. What did you pay for them ?

 

[StillwaterRaptor]

It was like 400 but at 200 with my points.
The OEM parts providers have them at 300ish

so 200 wasn’t bad in my mind.

Odd to me they are white? Usually accessories like these are in black?

Wouldn't really say that they are white, it's just anodized aluminum.

Wish you could use these with the Bak x4s tonneau cover. Ended up with a bed extender instead.

I have a Bak x4s and have the rails on order. I think I can make it work after looking at different install pictures.

Let us know how it turns out! I’d be interested in doing the same if it’s possible.

I too am interested in them but don't want to pay that much for a few pieces of metal. I'm looking at and trying to figure out how to mount L-Tract or Strut Channel to the bed as a DIY approach.

There are 4 captured nuts tucked into the sides of the bed at a slight angle underneath the bed rail. They are basically in the front half of the bed only, but shouldn't be an issue running a channel strut the length of the bed inset.

There are quite a few captured nuts positioned around the bed and along the bottom of the rails. No idea what they are all for, but definitely handy to have.

Wish they had one piece that ran across the front of the bed. My Tacoma had one and that's how I mounted my mountain bike fork.

 

[J.Dub]

Could you use this to mount a bed rack too?

 

[StillwaterRaptor]

Not sure. They kinda look like t-slot systems but they seem a bunch wider than a-slot hardware I’ve used before. I think it’s a No.
