Truck Bed Camper Tie Downs for a 2016 F150 Super Cab Truck

Question

Question:

I am looking for Truck Camper Tie Downs for a 2016 F150 Super Cab pickup truck. I have a Sun Lite truck camper that is 1280 lbs dry weight and would like to utilize the truck bed style tie downs. Camper came with a version, brand unknown, that do not fit down into the bed pockets. All four of these particular anchors were the same size, with the same angle of the extending tab/support, and the front pockets and side walls of the truck bed appear to be thicker/wider than the rear pockets of the bed. Please advise at to which of your products will work. Thank You The truck bed is 6’6” long. The Lip is 1”. The rear truck bed side wall thickness is 4.25”. The front sidewall appears to be thicker @ 6” thick. This a 2016 Ford F-150 Super Cab.

With your front sidewall being 6" wide you won't be able to use the truck bed style tie downs like you were wanting because they are only 5-1/4" in length. Instead I recommend the TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs - Front # TLF2018 and TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs - Rear # TLF3007.

I also recommend TorkLift Locking FastGun Turnbuckles for Frame-Mounted Tie-Downs - Stainless Steel - Black - Qty 4 Item # TLS9529-2-LK.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
