Hey Bruce! The difference between the two sets of tie-downs is the fitment. The # TLF2018 fits the following configurations of the 2018 Ford F-150:

6-1/2 Foot Bed - no running boards or cab length only boards - factory hitch
6-1/2 Foot Bed - no running boards or cab length only boards - no hitch
6-1/2 Foot Bed - no running boards or cab length only boards - non-Torklift aftermarket hitch
6-1/2 Foot Bed - no running boards or cab length only boards - Torklift SuperHitch Hero

While the # TLF2020 fits the following:

5-1/2 Foot Bed - cab length only fixed running boards - factory hitch
5-1/2 Foot Bed - cab length only fixed running boards - no hitch
5-1/2 Foot Bed - cab length only fixed running boards - non-Torklift aftermarket hitch

If you can give me some more information about your truck I can help you find the right fit. I need to know the bed length, running board style, and what kind of hitch you have on your 2018 F-150. You can reply in the comments below.

Oh no, I bought a used TLF2020 for my 2018 F150 6.5 bed. So the bolt holes for 5.5 bed is different for the 6.5 bed?

@Bruce I don't have installation instructions without reaching out to TorkLift to say for sure but that is likely the case. Whatever the difference is, I can say for sure the TLF2020 will not fit if you have the 6-1/2' bed. Even if you had the 5-1/2' bed they would only fit if you had the fixed cab length running boards.
