Question:
Can I keep using my Ford factory tie-down cleats with the FT26GV tonneau on my 2025 F-150 6-1/2' bed?

Expert Reply:
Yes, Ethan - the Fas-Top soft truck bed cover # FT26GV for your 2025 F150 6-1/2' bed has rails that mount to the top edges of the bed and leave the cleats and tie-down points accessible underneath (not all F150s have this installed from the factory). You can still slide cargo straps or hook into the factory D-rings without interference. If you ever add the JayBar ladder rack # FT93MJ, it uses the same rail channel but doesn’t block your cleats either - it gives you mounting points on the outside of your setup for accessories.
What do you normally haul in the truck bed? And do you ever use it for overlanding or camping trips? That’ll help decide whether the topper shell add-on # FT44AV is worth adding later.
