First, thank you so much for providing all the necessary info for a fit, it is a big help. And with all that info provided, I checked with TorkLift and was able to confirm a fit for both front and rear aluminum camper tie-downs on your 2021 Ford F-150 with a 6-1/2 foot bed, factory hitch, and no step/running boards, which are the following:

- Front: TorkLift Talon Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs - Aluminum # TLF2018A

- Rear: TorkLift Talon Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs - Aluminum # TLF3007A

The aluminum is a really nice choice because they're rustproof, and frame-mounted tie-downs are great due to the fact that they don't require drilling, and also because of the security and stability they offer compared to bed-mounted tie-downs.

For turnbuckles the best option by far are the TorkLift Locking FastGun Turnbuckles because they are the easiest turnbuckles to use due to their lever-action handles, and because they are locking to help protect your investment. What you will need are the TorkLift Locking FastGun Turnbuckles for Frame-Mounted Tie-Downs # TLS9529-2-LK.

The Locking FastGun are a premium option however, so for more economical turnbuckles you will need a quantity of two of either the TorkLift Basic SpringLoad Turnbuckles for Camper Tie-Downs # TLS9000 or TorkLift SpringLoad XL Turnbuckles for Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs # TLS9050A.

You can definitely install the HappiJac tie-downs in the front and use Torklift tie-downs for the rear, but you'll have to purchase the whole Happijac kit #LC236326-205221 since we don't currently offer the front separately. For the rear…
