Default Tie down options

I have a 2018 model and am looking for different options available to tie cargo in place. Its the 5.5 bed. I will be carrying anything and everything and need to know options. Pics would be nice.

Mine has four box link cleats plus two regular tie downs. Not sure how many you need. With two ratchet straps you should be able to tie down almost anything.

Edit: FOUR regular tie downs. Total of 8 tie down points in 5.5 foot bed.

You can get them elsewhere, this was first hit on Google. I selected the option when I ordered my truck, I use rope to tie things down with them. Ford FL3Z-99000A64-B Black Premium Locking, 4 Piece (Carbon Bed Cleats)

BullRings are helpful also.

Tie down points on the floor would be nice. The Box Link stuff is most times too high.

2nd to bull ring. I didn’t cut out fronts to add but have the rears on. Does your truck not have the smaller tie downs front and rear closer to bottom?

Most importantly ratchet straps are life saver. I still use the old school black rubber bungee cords too.
