Question:
Do you know if I can remove the anchors when not in use? Also, am I able to use them for ratchet straps to tie stuff down? Not sure if its strong enough. This is going on my 2012 Ford F150. thanks. TL68SV and TL48SV plus turnbuckles

Hey Leah, when not in use the Torklift ApexAnchors will sit flush in your truck bed so you do not need to remove them when not in use. You also can use these as tie down anchor points as well and they have a 2,000 lb capacity per anchor. The # TL68SV and # TL48SV are correct for your 2012 Ford F-150 as well.

Hey Leah, how did the ApexAnchors work out on your F-150 for tying things down? It’d be great to hear if the anchor strength met your needs. Your feedback could help others setting up similar tie-down points.
