Are any of you installing stack hole tie-downs? What you're using, aftermarket or FORD accessories?

 

why would you need stake hole tie downs when the in bed anchors (on the side) are E-Track compatible?

E-Track Straps & Tie Downs for Trailers: Ratchet Straps & E-Track Tie Downs

there are (seemingly) a million options for e-track straps, board holders, d-rings etc.
theres even a bottle opener available

 

I would be interested also in what others are using for stake hole tie downs.

On my previous trucks I have placed tie downs on the outside of the bed rail as these locations are for me more stable when strapping down multiple motorcycles (needing to compress to bike's suspension). I also find those locations better for tarped loads that are above the bed rail line.

I would prefer to not drill into the sheet metal on my new truck and will want to use the stake holes to get above the bed line.

 

These are great and what you are looking for to fit inside the stake pockets

 

The stack hole tie-downs are just added option if you need to secure something a little better. If someone is hauling something tall the stack hole tie-downs help stabilize anything that may be top heavy.

 

I have the Bullring tie-downs like MJR777.

It's kind of funny how much mark up there is just to have the BRAND name on a product. Here are the same stack hole tie-downs with the FORD name on them. Bed Hooks, Stainless Steel | Genuine Ford | VAC3Z99000A64B : Genuine Factory OEM Parts & Accessories | TascaParts.com
