It’s not an excuse, but I can’t see any tie down point on that thing. What kind of moron designs (and buys) a vehicle made for moving stuff without tie downs? Dumb as fuck

The anchor points are usually in the bed or the side of the stake holes. On my truck (half ton dodge) none of the places to tie on to are visible.

Good point lol, guess I don’t have much experience with these style of vehicle. I’ve only ever worked with the aluminum tray back type with anchors on every visible surface.

On my truck (old Ford Ranger) the stupid plastic bed liner obstructs whatever tie downs there might be, so I end up hooking my ratchet straps on the lip of the fender/bed side.
(I’d get rid of the bed liner, but I’m scared to look at how much rust there might be under it and also can’t justify the cost of even a DIY spray-on/roll-on replacement.)
