Your best choice in a camper tie down will depend on how your F-250 long bed is equipped. On the linked page you can use the drop-down menu at the top of the page to select how your truck is equipped, specifically whether it has a board or step underneath the bed and the type of hitch that is installed.

For example, if you have a factory hitch with an open cross tube and no board or step underneath truck bed Torklift offers their # TLF2011-TLF3004. The linked video shows installation.

The Brophy Camper Tie-Downs # HSAB will fit most full-size domestic pickup trucks EXCEPT some duallys and trucks with drop-in bed liners, plastic bed rails, side-step beds, and double-wall beds.

Answer 5

I'm assuming your 2024 F-250 has the 6-3/4' bed. If that is correct, the right tie-downs are in fact the #TLF3008 and #TL77CR. TorkLift has accounted for the bed access steps on the 2024 model and confirmed these will fit your truck.
