Brackets are a Ford item, unless you just use some simple tie down hardware...
But the bolts are nothing special...just standard M8 x 1.25 metric bolts available at any Lowes or Home Depot here in the US, probably available all over the place where your are.
10 bucks apiece is more than you will pay for a box of 25 here in the US.

Nothing says "thank you for spending $55K on a new Ranger" quite like 800% mark-up on factory add-ons, they they once included but since cut for cost savings. I don't know the word to describe how vulgar I find it.

It's not like someone who bought a taco is coming in to buy these bolts/brackets and Ford is sticking it to them. It's literally only the people who have bought a Ranger already. Disgusting business practice and has definitely lessened my chances of buying another Ford.

So to my understanding you will most likely pay about that price due to the currency difference from U.S. to Canada unfortunately. But as mentioned already definitely check out @LevittownFordParts.com as they seem to have nice prices overall.

I installed these. The d-rings were $20.00CAD for all four. I purchased the bolts for $15.00CAD for 25. All from Amazon.ca. Considered moving the brackets from the front to the middle and putting these up front. Instead, I installed all four of these new ones in the middle. I like the lower profile when they are not in use.

I got the bolts that jesses suggested and they work great and were much cheaper than the tie downs and hardware.
I am annoyed the truck didnt come with them since the owners manual clearly says six. mine came with 4. called the dealer left a message asking about them and got nothing but silence in return.

I wasn't about to be ripped off by Ford on these, so I got some M8 1.25 ring eyebolts from Amazon. These screw right in and work just fine for what I need.

The parts guy actually laughed when he saw the total cost of everything. Not sure why they want to loose money to cheaper after market options. I also agree on the bad business practice statement .

I can second these. I added them to the extra holes at the front of the bed and they work great, actually like them better than the OEM unit. and you cant beat the price.

What are length of those cap screws? Did you chase the threads because of the bed liner?
