Fake vents, you see them on many different Ford models. On some BS there is a tie down securement point but I personally think its not a good tie down location. I have looked into whether it would be worth it to open up the ventilation feature but I dont think it would be worth the trouble. I had thought about 3d printing a vent to fit there.

Part of Sasquatch.
In 2025 only. In 2026+, they’re an additional option on top of the Sasquatch package.

Once I figured out that they were tie down point locations (on vehicles equipped with the actual item) I started trying to figure out how to use them. They appear, nearly, useless (like many "better ideas").

IMO Ford needs to improve its institutional memory and stop hiring cellphone kids as engineers... For off road vehicles get ideas from some, experienced, people that actually use low range, on trails that, high center vehicles, break axles and twist driveshafts; and have (by choice) experience primitive camping in the actual woods/wilderness (where low hanging branches will quickly, and forcefully, remove anything above the roof line); NOT numbered spaces in ghetto like campgrounds/parks.

Enjoy!
