Will Camper Tie Downs that Attach to Factory Hitch on 2000 Ford F-250 SD work on Aftermarket Hitch

Expert Reply:
On your 2000 Ford F-250 SD, the camper tie downs used for the factory hitch will usually be different than the tie downs used for an aftermarket hitch like the Draw-Tite Class V 2-1/2 Inch Hitch, part # DT45508. The front camper tie downs will be the same since the attachment of the front tie downs is to the frame.
I checked the Torklift brand camper tie downs that we carry and it list the rear tie down for the factory hitch as being different than the rear tie down for the aftermarket hitch.
You might want to check with the manufacturer of the tie downs you have to make sure that the rear tie downs will need to be different or not.
If the rear tie downs are required to be different I can only recommend to purchase new tie downs for the rear of your vehicle.
