These heavy-duty retractable anchor rings serve as tie-down points for securing your load. The spring-loaded design enables the chrome-plated anchor rings to snap up or down. They have easy, no-drill installation in your truck bed stake pockets.

Tie-Downs were exactly as described. They work great. Easy to install, even with the upper plastic bed rail. I like that they lock in the Up position. I use them all the time when my Wife & I go biking. I built a bike rack for my truck and just use tie down cables to hold the bikes in place using the Anchors!
I give it a 4 because the front did not fit but I think it is because of the lousy design of the side rail guard that came with the truck when I bought it. As you can see in the pictures the before and after of the rear. You can also see the difference of alignments of the holes from front to rear. The only way I can get the front to fit is to either cut the rail guard or the metal of the truck. Searching the web I found other complaints about this same issue with other guards. I do so far recommend the Erikson but you will have do some modifying. It's not plug and play.
Also I wasn't happy I went through the trouble to put this review on a sitejabber site. After filling it all out, it asked me to log in or register. No time for that.
Love them work fantastic
Good fit, sturdy tie downs for a great price!
Very good quality and easy to install. I would have bought four except the toolbox is covering the front two holes. So I bought item WTD-823 to mount right behind the toolbox.
The installation was as expected but the tie down part does not work smoothly and you have to use a screw driver to raise it
Added these to the snowmobile trailer so that we could use it to tie down other items. Work great and we’re easy to install. Bought and sprayed a undercoating to protect my investment further.
The WeatherTech Mats fit nicely in my GMC 2011 Sierra. Unfortunately my truck does not have the in floor anchor points, so the mat still slip and slide. I have not a chance to use the Erickson Retractable Tiedown Anchors yet. However, they have a snug fit in the truck bed stake pockets. I like the function of retracting. The DeeZeee Tailgate Lowering bracket is not working well. The installation of the Blind Nut is not going well. The washer and bearing of the Blind Nut tool system is allowing the Blind Nut bolt to tighten and compress the Blind Nut into the tailgate. The Blind Nut keeps turning as the Wrench is being turned.
Great product, installed 6 on my 1997 f-350 to replace cheap tie downs that kept breaking and pulling out of the stake pockets, use them primarily to tie down dirt bikes, installation was very simple, did have to trim the inside anchor slightly on the front tie downs due to the inside dimensions of the stake pockets,
The tie down anchors are high quality, look great and easy to install. I have a 2002 Ranger but had the bed replaced with a 96 bed. So I was unsure if the fit but they worked perfect. I ordered another pair for the other 2 opening. Very, very pleased with this product!
Work fine with my truck. A lot of give when using tie downs so keep the ratchet tension low.

I checked with the manufacturer and you want to make sure that the anchor is not damaged and mounted securely before every use. And to make sure not to exceed the 1000 pound weight capacity.
These offer more options for tie down points in the back of the truck. I'm skeptical of their 100lb rating, but they work pretty well, just be careful when using ratchet straps, I bet you could bend sheet metal around your stake pockets a split second before the plastic on these gives up.
They the fit was perfect for my 2003 F250. Easy to install.
I received and installed two Erickson tie down anchors in my 2013 Dodge Ram 1500 today, at the 2 rear bed locations where cutouts were already open. I have a stock drop in bed liner from Dodge and the pre-cut holes were slightly smaller than the tie down anchors. This was solved with a rubber mallet and piece of 2x4 to squarely and carefully hammer the anchor thru the tight opening. I did also have to completely remove the two screws that lock down the anchors in order to manuever them into the opening (a bit difficult but they do go in fine). One thing to note, once they go in, it would be very difficult to remove them if you encounter a problem. Very strong and tight once in and screwed down.
works very well to keep debris from the stake pockets, I often haul loads of sawdust and don't want the sawdust filling the stake pockets. For me it's a little difficult to raise the tie-down loop but the loop stays in the raised position until you push it down. I have secured several large loads of firewood with the tie-downs and they were more than adequate.
I originally ordered two of these for the rear of the truck bed but like the quality of the product I bought two more for all the bed pockets. Perfect fit and fold flat with the top of the bed. Made out of stainless and after a salty winter here in the northeast NO rust.
I installed 2 pair of these on my 2014 Ram 1500, in about 30 minutes. I used a Dremel tool with a cutting wheel on the plastic bed rail cap. Looks great! Fits Great and strong. Love the flush mount.
When I ordered three sets of these the information was that they were not confirmed to fit a 2015 RAM 3500. They do indeed fit and with the factory bedrail liners. To get them in there the screws have to be completely removed. Everything stays assembled do you don't have to worry about dropping the internal parts into neverland. Once inserted pull up on the ring and reinsert the screws. Pretty easy once I figured it out. Using these with a Bak Flip four-fold cover which allows the cover to be closed and locked and still have access to a tie down point for kayaks.
Great quality product . Easy to install. I used portaband saw to cut to length. Used pre drilled holes and used a standard hole saw where I needed extra holes, along with standard drill bits. The material drills and cuts perfectly. Nice quality product. This was being used to replace my work out bumper on my horse trailer. Looks like oem replacement .
Etrailer does it again. The retractable tie-down anchors for my 2005 Ford F150 XLT truck are the best tie-downs for the money. Easy to install and look great.
Very good product, just don't over tighten the screws. They will drill a hole through the plastic cap. I had to insert washers in the last one to install it on my truck. My problem, not the product, read the installation instructions,
DON"T Over tighten the screws. I installed 6 on my truck. Got in a hurry and over tightened the last install.
These retractable anchors seem very well built. They fit the rear stake pockets perfect, but not quite as perfect on the front pockets on my 2011 F350. Seem sturdy and I love that they retract.
Would recommend.
Work great and look great. Had to trim my truck's bedliner back a tad to get them in but they are a cinch to install.
Not happy with this product after using them for a year. The spring loaded retractable anchor rings are difficult to pop up. You really need a flat blade screwdriver or some object to pry up the anchor rings. Becomes frustrating when your are in a rush. Would not buy them again.
Came well package for protection during shipment. Product was as shown on web site. Have not installed them yet but will very soon. Looks as if they will be a good way to tie items down in the back of my truck. Like the way they recess back into the stake pocket holes so they are out of the way when not in use. Good product and I would recommend them to others.
