Integral Truck Bulkhead Rail - F150 & Raptor 2015+ (5.5' Bed)

The Integral Bulkhead Rail is a rugged, bolt-in rail system built to mount directly to the cab wall and bed anchor points of 2015 and newer Ford F-150 and Raptor trucks with 5.5′ beds. Once installed, this rail creates a stable base behind your cab for mounting Packout panels, tool trays, tie-down cleats, and other modular accessories—turning underutilized bulkhead space into a high-function, gear-ready mounting zone.

Because the rail installs without drilling or permanent modifications, it preserves the truck’s original structure—making it a flexible addition for both overland builds and trade work rigs.

Core Features & Build Quality

Use Cases — Overlanding, Trail, and Work Applications

Overlanders & Trail Setups

• Mount Milwaukee Packout boxes filled with recovery gear, kitchen tools, spare parts, or camp equipment behind the cab, which helps free up bed floor space for bikes, fuel or water, and spare gear.
• Build a “gear wall” that stays mounted and ready to go, making camp setup and trail-side tool access faster and cleaner.
• Because it’s bolt-on and reversible, the rail can stay installed for long overland trips and be removed when returning to a stock or daily-driver configuration.

Contractors, Trades & Service Professionals

• Use the rail to mount tool trays or Packout storage panels behind the cab—creating a mobile workshop or tool wall that’s accessible when parked, without unpacking the bed.
• Mounted Packout boxes stay secure and organized in transit—reducing tool clutter, gear shifting, and cleanup at job sites.
• Tie-down cleats and accessory mount points offer versatile anchoring for ladders, materials, or cargo—helpful for contractors shuttling tools and supplies.
• The non-invasive installation preserves the truck’s original body, which is especially helpful for lease vehicles or trucks used for both work and recreation.

Installation & Setup Tips

1. Verify vehicle compatibility: Ensure your truck is a 2015 or newer F-150 or Raptor with a 5.5′ bed.
2. Mount the rail to factory cab wall and bed tie-down anchor points using provided hardware and anchor replacements—no drilling into the bed is required.
3. The included Slide-N-Lock cleat can be repositioned along the rail by twisting, sliding, and locking—no tools needed.
4. Once installed, add Packout panels or accessory mounts to build out your gear or tool storage system.
5. Before final installation, check clearance if using drop-in liners or tonneau covers—some plastic liners or retractable cover clamps may interfere with the rail or mounted gear.
6. After rough roads or trail driving, inspect mounting bolts and connected gear to ensure nothing has shifted or loosened.

Final Thoughts

The Integral Bulkhead Rail for F-150 and Raptor (5.5′ bed) is a smart, flexible way to make the most of the space behind your cab. Whether you’re setting up an overland rig, mounting recovery gear, or building a mobile workspace with Packout systems, this rail adds usable storage and tool accessibility without permanently altering your truck.
