I personally like the TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted tie-downs like parts # TLF2014, and # TLF3005 which fit a 2013 Ford F-150 with the 6-1/2' bed and no board or step under the bed. There are variations of this type of kit depending on the configuration for your pickup and they provide you a clean look when you don't have your camper in the bed.

For a more cost-effective option you can use a Brophy stake pocket mount like part # TDSF but you need to make sure that the 5-1/2" high x 1-7/8" wide x 1-5/8" long post is compatible with the stake pockets on your F-150. It is also worth making sure that the 3" overhang of the tie-down arm is sufficient for your bed rail.

I have attached a review video for you to check out. If you're interested in the TorkLift option just let me know the length of your bed and if you have a board/steps and a trailer hitch and I can make a recommendation for you. If you like the Brophy option better but the dimensions won't work just let me know and I can help you look for a different solution.
