What are the 4 brackets/plates in the bed for?

 

I have the bed cleats locked in mine for strapping down motorcycle. I think if you can buy the stowable loading ramp, it'll lock on there with a bracket.........etc.

There should be a present for you to use on those brackets under your rear seat driver side.

 

Anybody know how much weight they can hold? I haven't used mine for anything yet, I've only used the lower metal ones.

 

You can also use E-track attachments with them.

 

 

Thanks guys. I don't think mine came with any attachments under the back seat.

 

if you bought it brand new, go see your dealer. It should have came with the cleats. Everything else is an accessory. The Cleats come from factory with the truck, or at least my 17 did.

 

Hmm I'll have to check harder. Mine is an XL.

 

It's always difficult loading cargo and having the right hook locations, or something is in the way, etc. We actually came up with a solution for that.. our mounting rail system hooks on your bed header, takes up little room, and everything is modular. Pictures below!

 

My XL didn't come with the brackets, or the mounting plates pre installed. It does however have the mounting holes for the brackets, which maybe what you are talking about. I would take a look at your sticker and see if they were to be included. If you have the mounting plates, I assume you were supposed to get the brackets.

 

I definitely have the mounting plates, as well as in bed lighting. I either didn't notice the brackets, or my dealer screwed me.

 

They come blister wrapped to a piece of cardboard backing...maybe 5"x8" in size. 4 cleats/brackets with 2 keys. Mine were stashed under the back seat.

 

when I bought mine it had the cleats installed already any idea where the keys would be??

 

glove box probably
