Robbery

[wanted33]

I'm going to try these tie downs. I will report back in a few days if they fit or not.

I'm in for your synopsis.

Yeah I wanted these since I'm a 2020 and got screwed outta the middle tow hooks.

I'm still "trying" to buy them with my Ford pass points but dealers around here are telling me they're not on the Ford pass program yet. 40k points are gonna expire before I can use them...

Tell the parts dept. to run them through the service dept. That's what many on the forum have done.

What's the proper bolt to use with these?

The ranger uses m8-1.25 bolts. I used some sourced at Lowe's to attach my builtright bedside racks. I'll find the post and link here in a moment.

Update: Here it is

Very easy to make yourself.

The handles would be very easy to make. So, I have $300 worth of handles. LOL

if people dont buy it, prices come down. Its all supply and demand.

And if people don't make it, prices go up.

Don't let them expire. If anything buy something and then sell it here.

I bought an extended warranty a week before my points expired.

I looked for alternatives for a few months to solve this problem and I ended up with the eyebolts as other have suggested.
The closest hardware that I can find that looks OEM was at McMaster Carr https://www.mcmaster.com/8030T42/ and It's 1/8 shorter from center to center than the stock tie downs. Maybe someone with a drill press can make this fit in their trucks.

The price of these on Ebay are $94.95. What in the hell is wrong with these retailers/people? Ammo, guns, parts, food, clothes...they are robbing us and this COVID excuse is a scam as far as I am concerned. $94 bucks for this? Totally outrageous...Covid my ass

Someone posted these a while back and said the dealer put it in as a warranty claim. I spoke to my service advisor when I took my work truck in and he said to bring my ranger in and they'll get it taken care of.

Ah ha. Thanks. Still sort of expensive, but not $100

This is more than likely a typo, maybe $9.49? I have seen this before with other sellers. One would hope they are not stupid to ask that much for a set of tie downs.

I just had the dealership quote me $110 for the two tie down brackets and 4 bolts.
No thanks!

Exactly why I don't do ebay, craigslist or facebook.

How about $14 for stainless steel with a load rating of 6250 lbs?

Well, you just need to search around. I posted a link above with much better prices. Ebay, craigslist, and facebook are just outlets. Don't assume they have the best prices, else you'll get screwed.
