Stake pocket anchor recommendations

2000 Ranger XLT 2wd 3.0

Looking for recommendations for good quality stake hole anchors. Preferably a link to the right size.

havent used any but would not recommend they be used. Had access to several older fords and they all would tear out the pocket with use particularly if for heavy load. What are you trying to tie down?

Nothing major. Sometimes it's a four wheeler. Sometimes a fridge. I find them handy. Just not sure what fits this truck. Are the pockets the same size as an F-150 of the same year?

These are, imo, about as good as the stake pocket jobs get:

But I don't rely on mine for major loads. I use the OEM tie downs lower in the bed corners.

I would get some heavier duty tie downs or make some out of 3/16's steel, and bolt them through the bed side to a large plate with large washers on the other side.

The expanding rubber tie downs for stake pockets do not perform well at all. I had some for a couple minutes on my Ranger and they pulled right out.
