On February 20, 2021, Ford submitted a trademark filing for the name “Flexbed” with the USPTO. The trademark registration is “intended to cover the categories of land vehicles; customizable and organizational system for cargo area of vehicles.”
There isn’t much else in the filing to draw information from, but we gather that this may not be the multi-function tailgate competitor we initially thought. Instead, it sounds like the Flexbed will offer dividers inside the bed, likely to help owners arrange smaller objects that could roll around on the move.
