Did you get Torklift newsletter?
They made several articles, but THIS ONE IS ABOUT DAMAGE TO TRUCK BED due to bed-mounted tie-downs. I know frame mounted tie-downs are superior and I never had bed-mounted, but they claim to repair ...

I sure wouldn't want to use bed mounted tie-downs on the new fangled "allyouminium" truck beds.
If you go to the Happijac website, they don't even list 2017 or 2018 F250 or F350 trucks with aluminum beds in their application guide.
I've had Happijac tie downs in 3 different Ford trucks over the last 22 years hauling a +4k lb truck camper and never had a single problem, but I would not want to use them on a truck with an aluminum bed. In my opinion, there should not be any trucks with aluminum beds........or auto trannies for that matter. Steel beds and manual trannies, that's the ticket.
