Probably will not work. The Retrax model numbers for those two vehicles differ.

Measuring is the only way.

Chances are they (Ford) changed the dimensions ever so slightly.

I'm guessing that there are significant differences, in 2015 they went from steel to an aluminum bed.

That's part of it.

You'd think a 5.5/6.5/8ft beds would be identical in length and width. Depth is another animal.

I guess it drives up sales for these manufacturers.

I have an Undercover Flex on my 2017 supercrew 5.5ft bed that originally was on an 2013. Its fits pretty well, not perfect though. Undercover has different part numbers for the different years as well.
