I just sold my Lance to a friend with a 2016 Super Duty 350 SRW with the tow package on it.
He had the TL front mounts installed but we found out the Ford Factory Class 5 receiver hitch has a square tube carrier that's just right to mount tie-down extensions so thats what we did. We mounted the rear tie downs (made them up from square tubing with welded bolsters on the ends) and attachment points for the back tie down's. Worked slick. I welded an 'eye' on each inboard of the fender well and he runs a chain and turnbuckle between the two, to keep them in place. Saved him the cost of the rear tie down's.
FYI, some Super Duty's have the DEF tank mounted real close to the drivers side frame rail so have a qualified installer install the front tie down's. No room to get it done in your driveway.... without lots of cussing...lol
His 'tow' package came with double plugs on the rear for an extra harness and a plug in the bed as well. Pretty slick set up. His is a 4 door with the console and buckets in the front and a split bench in the back.
He had the Ford Plastic bedliner, which we left in and laid in a sheet of 3/4" marine grade plywood. He's has no issues so far.
Nice truck, Being retired, I cannot afford one.
