Frequently Asked Questions

Choose the mounting style around where the anchor must sit and whether it needs to stay low-profile when not in use. Stake-pocket anchors fit compatible factory openings and can avoid drilling when the exact setup is designed that way. Pop-up or retractable anchors hide when not needed, while fixed D-rings or recessed rings suit permanent attachment locations. Then check the exact setup, mounting method and load rating. {{website}}’s Fixed and Pop-Up filters are a useful starting point, but the product requirements should make the final decision.

There is no single capacity for every anchor. Use the working load limit or other allowable load published for the exact anchor and installation, and don't treat a breaking-strength number as the working limit. The anchor, mounting hardware or structure, strap, and other securement components can each have their own limits. Putco, for example, rates its Push-Up stake-pocket tie downs at 250 lb per anchor. Check the exact product rating and mounting requirements before relying on an anchor for a load.

First check that your truck has the correct factory stake-pocket openings, then match the anchor to the vehicle. Stake-pocket dimensions and locations vary, and some aftermarket anchors are vehicle-specific even though the basic design looks universal. Putco, for example, instructs shoppers to select the exact year, make, and model for its push-up tie-down applications. Also check whether bed caps, racks, a toolbox, or another accessory already occupies the stake pocket. If the opening isn't available, a different anchor location-or a Bed Rail system-may make more sense.

They can, particularly when the anchor uses a stake pocket and the tonneau cover mounts inside the bed rails. Putco specifically states that its current push-up stake-pocket tie downs work with most inside-the-rail tonneau covers. Compatibility still needs to be checked for your exact combination. If the cover, anchor, rack, or rail system needs the same stake pocket or clamping area, one can interfere with the other. If you already own the tonneau cover, use its mounting layout as a constraint when choosing the new anchor.

No. Do not rely on a tie-down anchor or fitting that is bent, cracked, loose, or otherwise damaged. Kinedyne removes bent, twisted, gouged, or cracked tie-down hardware from service, and Erickson says damaged or incorrectly mounted anchor fittings should not be used. Repair or replace the affected anchor and mounting hardware before securing another load.
