Ford's pop-up bed rail system could secure taller cargo and be used to lift cargo to bed height.
According to a patent application published on April 20, 2023 , the Blue Oval is designing a pop-up bed rail system. Rails would be housed in the bed sides and raised up using actuators, according to the application.This kind of rail system offers a few possibilities, Ford says in the application.
Ford also proposes using movable rails in some more unusual ways. The patent application describes using the rails to lift cargo from the ground to bed height with a pivoting attachment, a bit like an in-bed crane. A pair of pivoting crossbars could also support a cargo cover, which could be made flush with the top of the cab to improve airflow over the truck while still providing room for taller cargo.This is just one of several truck-related Ford patent filings.
