Was there a definte Change for the Bed Support?

Same question... Door placard just says the month, I'm also 9/24.

Ford's "social media" people here said to lookup recalls by VIN and said mine was in the recall, then when I tried with the VIN it said it wasn't. ?‍

I have a 10/24 RR USA build date. I ordered the j braces mid November directly from Ford...and they arrived today. Sooo...is it 100% confirmed that any build after September will automatically come with the j braces (it would be a welcomed surprise if it did)?

It is - says 9/24 ................................. so that doesn't help much if a date of 9/12/24 was when they started installing them. Presume I can see this if I crawl underneath and look ................... has someone posted a picture of where to look and what they look like ?

If you have your window sticker, you want to look at the "Blend" date at the top.

It goes Year/Month/Day so in this example the truck was built on November 19, 2024.

If you don't have your window sticker you can look it up with the VIN here: https://fordwindowsticker.com/

Without removing any parts, you can confirm that your Ranger has the updated design by looking up in that area while under the truck.
