The truck camper tie-downs offered for your 2000 Ford F-250 can be seen on the linked page. All options are from TorkLift and the correct one for you depends on your bed length and the presence of other equipment such as steps or a hitch.

At the top of the page there is a drop-down menu bar you can use to select your truck version. For example, if you have a 8-foot bed, no board or step under the bed and are using an aftermarket hitch receiver, then the correct camper tie down kit consists of parts # TLF2011 and # TLR3500. In order to work with your hitch, the hitch side pates must be at least 4 x 4-inches. This kit requires drilling for installation. A video is linked for reference.

Lance does have a proprietary plug, but many customers see a standard 6-way or 7-way round and notice it doesn't fit their factory 7-way as well. I've attached an article to help if you have one of the 7-way or 6-way round connectors…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two…

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.

We have run into this quite a few times in the past, and the best option will be replacing the Lance 7-pin connector with a standard 7-way blade connector like the #PK12706. This will give you a standard 7-way connector to plug into the factory…
