tailgate bike pad specifically designed for the Ford F-150 Lightning that features a full-width mesh window to showcase the entire tailgate light bar

[johaanryberg]

I’m looking for a tailgate bike pad that still shows our full light bar. I have seen some Rivians with them, but I’m having trouble finding one for the lightning. Has anyone found one?
Looking for one similar to the attached photo, but for the lightning.

I doubt you will find one. Rivians are marketed as an adventure vehicle, so it makes sense they would make a tailgate pad specifically for them to show off that bar, but I don't think you'll find one for the lightning that has the same.

I did quite a bit of research for a Lightning specific tailgate pad and came up empty. To my knowledge there is not a specific Lightning pad.

For what it's worth, the Yakima I got (in my profile picture) fits and works great. I'm very happy with it.

Thanks! I was looking at that one.

Nobody is going to make such a specialized items. There aren't enough Lightnings, and of those there aren't enough with the tailgate lightbar. In fact, many F-150 vendors aren't even making Lightning-specific versions of their products.

I'd be less concerned about showing off the tailgate lightbar and more concerned that if you HAVE the tailgate lightbar, those pads are also covering your backup lights. Really curious why Ford decided to cover the white lights in the taillight with the tailgate on the Lariat and Platinum trims... @MachLightning any issues with backup lighting using that tailgate pad?

I roll up the middle flap when possible (you can tell by the lack of dirt on flap). The flap is big enough to expose all the lights. You can leave the flap up even fully loaded with bikes if necessary, but you’d get some tire marks on the tailgate from the middle bikes.

At times I had five bikes back there with the flap down during that trip to Moab, but we were never out past sunset.
