The drawback to this type of tie-down is all the force is concentrated in a specific spot and it is much easier to damage the truck bed. The advantage to a trail rail system is the force is spread out across the length of the rail, and it will handle more weight.

I'd hope a plate of fair size.
On the other hand - I bet those are in the factor threaded holes.


That's why I put these rails on mine - to spread the load out among multiple holes -

Do you have anything on the backside of the bolts?
No. Just threaded in. It suits my needs to keep stuff from sliding around or falling out.
