I secured via strong bike cable lock using one of the latch holes. I secured that to a tie down in the bed. Use pad lock to link cable to hole

Basically just pick it up and put it in you truck. I used a strap to secure it to the truck.

I have a Nissan Frontier, which has a built in channels to secure cargo into the bed of the truck. So, I tie it down with a cargo strap. This storage container is not designed to be attached to the truck bed itself.

You can buy a ratcheting cargo bar from home depot. Or you can get flat metal stock and u bolts to attach to existing tie downs...depending on your truck. The cargo bar will secure it for transport but not from theft.

I just have my trunk box installed in my Toyota Tacoma with a tie down. Their is no hardware included with the trunk box so that was the only way I was able to secure it.

Drilled 4, 1/2" holes (One on each corner and through the truck bed) used 2" bolts, washers and lock nuts. I've also seen them strapped down. Just wanted mine to be locked tight and for theft reasons.

You do not have to remove the bed. Read the instruction carefully. A small knotch in the wheelwell is needed. Then easy measurements for the big hole for the ball. No other holes required as it uses the GM original holes. I installed this on a 2001 GMC 4x4 shortbed and it worked great apart from not being able to jack knife the trailer but there's an offset ball for that.

I am not familiar with your truck. I can't find a good picture of the bed, but it looks like you have plastic tops for the rails. Look at the front and see if you have vertical box like channels at the front and rear of your truck bed. If so, then the plastic rail covers are hiding the cut outs. If your bed rails don't have cut outs in the top (where stakes used to go when they actually used the beds of truck to haul things) you can't use them. Most trucks still have them, usually 2 at the front of the bed in the top of the rail and 2 at the back. Some long bed trucks have 3 sets with one in the middle. If you go stand in the bed of yor truck and look down on the top of the rails yuo should see rectangular cut outs in the top of the rails. They may have covers that are partially cut out of the bed liner that you have to remove to insert these. Usually it is obvious where these go. If your bed rails are smooth and have no openings in the top, you may not be able to use these. I would be surprised if there were no cut outs.

Use the exhisting screw holes for wall mount to install. Then attach to wall or tv stand to prevent toppling. Took 5 mins to install.

I have a Toyota Tundra. I used self drilling and tapping sheet metal screws to mount the brackets supplied with the box directly to the side wall of my truck bed. The screws are available at most industrial hardware stores. If your truck is a lease then this is not the way to go. I have seen people use wood to make adapters that will bolt to existing screw holes in the bed the screw the box brackets to the wood. Hope this is helpful.

You could add some pins to the bar that attaches over the tailgate with a release system that hides behind the tailgate. Its really only beneficial if you have a locking tailgate. If they want in that truck bed... doesn't matter if you have a soft or a hard top... they are going to get in.

There are several places under the truck, just look for a space to fit it in. You want to make sure that going over trails of rough roads it doesn't get hit by something in the truck. I haven't put one on the ford. I had one put on a 07 Dodge.

Comes with nuts and bolts to keep it mounted to your truck. So you drill holes in your side rails or buy a kit that requires no drilling. Only way it (the bolts)can be accessed is if you leave it unlocked.

get under the truck and measure the gap then allow for slip joint! that is the best wayh to tell

There is a aluminum bar that engages into clips in the siderails and sits at the top edge of your tailgate. You can disengage the bar from the clips and roll it towards the front of the bed, (wrapping the tonneau around it as you do so). You end up with a bar wrapped up with tonneau that you can keep rolled up by wrapping strap (s) around it straps are attached to the framework that comes with the tonneau cover

You have to drill holes in the frame in order to bolt them to truck. Watch out for fuel lines while drilling.

No you have to drill holes through the bed of your pickup. Really not as bad as it sounds.

The beam you see that is attached to the hitch can be slid back and forth easily. The only problem you might have to solve is getting clearance for the legs under the crane. As designed, it easily loads items into the center of the truck bed, and can be moved out toload into the edge of the bed. It pretty much covers it all. If you want to mount in the actual center of the bed, you need the "pick-up"style crane that has a flat mount plate to bolt to the truck floor.
