Expert Answers about Truck Bed Tie Downs


  • Recommended Camper Tie Down for 2019 Nissan Titan XD with 5-1/2 Foot Bed
  • I recommend the Brophy # HSAB. This does not show in the fit guide for a 5-1/2' bed as that short of bed is not generally used for truck campers. So you have to go by how they install to finish verifying. The external bed rail width cannot be more than 5-1/2 inches wide. There will need to be at least 2 inches space under the lip of the bed rail. This install by clamping onto the bed rails of your truck, no drilling required. You will want to use the Brophy Basic Turnbuckles w/ Hardware...

  • Will Tie-Down Anchors Stop Water Getting in Stake Pockets in 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 With Tonneau Cover?
  • The Erickson Retractable Tie-Down Anchors for Truck Bed Stake Pockets # EM01003 will provide a type of seal to the stake pockets of your 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 but they are not designed to keep water out so I could not guarantee you that it will eliminate water into your truck bed. It should give you some relief from the water pouring in, however, as well as providing useful attachment points. There are also simple stake pocket covers, the TruXedo Stake Pocket Covers # TX1704210 which are...

  • Truck Bed Camper Tie Downs for 2000 Ford F250 with Plastic Bed Liner
  • As long as your camper is no longer than 8 feet, and you do not mind having the tie-downs permanently installed in the stake pockets, the # TDSF tie-downs would be my recommendation. Unlike the # HSSF, trimming or cutting the bed liner will not be required. The # TDHP tie down hardware will also be needed to attach the camper to the tie down bracket. You can see current pricing by clicking the provided link.

  • Do Brophy Camper Hold Downs Black Powder Coat, Part # HSSF, Stress Truck Bed Top Rails?
  • The Brophy Camper Hold Downs, Part # HSSF, install without drilling and use the included padded T-bar hardware to evenly distribute forces downward and inward toward the inside of the truck bed. The top rail itself bears only some of the load from the tie-down points since most stress is distributed to the inside of the bed. I have attached the installation instructions for this item for your review. You will want to review this part for compatibility with your specific year/make/model...

  • Installing Frame-Mount Camper Tie-Down On 1984 Chevrolet C/K Pickup Truck
  • We do not have a custom tie-down kit for your 1984 Chevrolet pickup but I may have a solution for you. I called my contact at TorkLift and they told me that you can look under the front of yoru truck bed near the cab and see if you have a 4x4 inch space available, you can install part # TLR3500.

  • Can a Trailer Hitch Mount to the Front of Ford F-350 Bed to Tie Down a Power Washer
  • What you could do is use the Curt combo bar # E-9. Mounting something to the actual bed is not the best idea because the walls could be too weak or flimsy to hold or stabilize a heavy load. I wouldn't take the risk since the power washer is likely pretty heavy and if the straps failed, it could crush the truck bed where the ball mount is attached. You may need to fabricate something that is integrated into the bed supports or truck frame. Once you secure the Curt combo bar # E-9, you...

  • What Are Cargo Management Rails And How Do They Work With Truck Bed Bike Racks 2014 Toyota Tundra
  • The cargo management rails that our truck bed bike rack selection guide is referring to are side-rails that are installed on the inside of the truck bed frame rails. With these internal side rails installed you can add cross bars which will then give you two layers of cargo carrying ability. These rails are typically dealer installed and are not offered with all makes and models of trucks. I could not find where Toyota has these rails however this is an option on Ford trucks and Nissan...

  • Does TorkLift Offer Camper Tie Down Draw Bars as a Separate Item
  • This question has come up before. In order to make the drawbar portions of the tie downs, TorkLift would need to do a special manufacturing run for just that particular item. This would considerably add to the cost of the product, which would end up costing you about the same amount of money, if not more as starting from scratch would. Given this, I'd recommend simply starting from scratch. If your truck does NOT have running boards or a side step that extends under the bed (wheel to...

  • With the Demco Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # DM8550022 weighing in at 300lbs the likelihood of it being stolen is pretty slim but there are still a couple options that you can take to help prevent theft.

  • Is the TracRac TracOne Ladder Rack Lockable
  • The TracRac TracOne ladder racks aren't lockable, but you could use a cable lock like the # e98891 ran through the tie down points located in the corner of many truck beds or the stake pockets to secure the ladder rack. Luckily enough, most thieves are lazy and just the sight of some sort of lock will make the majority of them move on to an easier target.
