? F-150 LARIAT Lounge ?

[ZOSICK]

I’ve never added this myself but it looks fairly straightforward. Found this website from another member. https://www.f150leds.com/collection...grated-f150-bed-cargo-area-premium-led-lights

Awesome find, thanks! I will be ordering one of these kits!

Happy New ear!

I took delivery of my 2022 Lariat 502a on Christmas Eve.

Much to my disappointment, it did not come with the bedlighting. Sadly, this was one of the reasons I upgraded to a Lariat.

Anyone know hos difficult this would be to add?

Jeez man. So what else are we not getting on the lariat? So from what we thought we were gonna get from the previous year..we’re not getting some ambient lighting, numbered a/c knobs, bed lighting. What else??

Boxlink is the four cleats and tie down anchors in the bed. Its like a $80 dollar option, but was included on 2021's but not on 2022's.

I would have happily ordered the "bed utility package" if either the Ford dealer or Ford website indicated I would need to do this.

Can BoxLink be added at the dealership or is it a factory-only item?

I didn’t order the bed utility package in my Lariat because I did not want the power tailgate or step. Disappointed that I now don’t get the bed lighting or BoxLink.

Same. Very little vague info dealer had when we rolled it into a 2022. I’m sure they were blind as we were too

Hard to believe though cuz the bed lighting is supposed to be standard on the lariat. And the guy on YouTube showed it at nighttime.

Gonna be wild if my 15 302A came standard with the bed lighting and box links, but my 22 502A doesn’t have either.

They keep cutting back they will loose customers! Fact

Super frustrating if these can’t be added by the dealership.

The removal of the bed lighting from the '22 F-150 is frustrating because it's combined with 'zone lighting' for the 2021 F-150: "LED cargo box lighting with Zone Lighting," optional on an XLT, standard on higher trims. Re-reading the 11/3/21 Order Guide for the 2022 F-150 though (pissed I missed this), it does differentiate the two under the Bed Utility Package (68L): "LED Box Lighting" and "Zone Lighting (already std on XLT (302A), Lariat, . . . "

For the 2021 F-150, "BoxLink with 4 premium locking cleats" is standard on the Lariat and above; for the 2022 F-150, per the 11/3/21 Order Guide, it's part of the Bed Utility Package (68L) as well.

To add BoxLink post delivery: Standard Interface Plate Kit
- Part No: FL3Z9928408AB
- $50 (+$10 installation).
- I think this includes 4x cleats

Premium Carbon Black Cleats (4x)
- Part No: HL3Z99000A64A
- $90

F-150 2021-2022 Bed Cargo Illumination Kit
- Not listed as a Ford accessory on their website.
- Not sure if the 2018-2020 Illumination Kit would work.
--- Part No: JL3Z13E754A. $215 (+$100 installation).

So, in summary, I specifically chose not to get the Bed Utility package (68L) on my Lariat because I didn't want the power tailgate (payload weight hit on my PowerBoost, plus it's overkill - the tailgate is light as hell) . . . now I'm going to end up paying half the price of the Bed Utility package anyway (but no tailgate work surface, no power tailgate, no tailgate step) simply to get some cleats and two LED lights. Not cool.

That was my same dilemma. Didn't want the payload hit because of the power tailgate, so now it's just a normal truck bed, with an outlet that can charge a cellphone... Until they remove that feature to save money...
