Mounted Ratchet Straps for Chevy, RAM, GMC, Toyota & More | RAD Truck Straps
RAD Truck Straps Fit Any Truck. Not Just Ford.
The only US-patented, DOT-certified mounted ratchet strap system on the market. Built for Ford first — and engineered for every other truck on the road through the Universal Plate system.
No BoxLink? No Problem. RAD Installs Anywhere.
Ford F-150 and Super Duty trucks come with factory BoxLink anchor points that RAD replaces directly — no drilling required. For every other truck on the road, RAD uses the Universal Plate system.
The Universal Plate is a CNC-machined steel mounting base that bolts to any truck bed, trailer wall, toolbox, or flat surface that can accept an M6x1.0 threaded mount. You choose the position. You drill the holes. RAD provides everything else — the plate, the strap housing, all hardware, and installation support.
The result is identical to the Ford install: a permanently mounted, auto-retracting ratchet strap that lives in your bed and deploys in seconds. Same DOT-certified strap. Same CNC-machined steel. Same US-made quality. Your truck, your placement, your call.
DOT Certification Travels with the Strap — Regardless of Truck
RAD Truck Straps carry DOT certification under FMCSA cargo securement standards (49 CFR Part 393) whether they are installed on a Ford F-150 via BoxLink or a Chevy Silverado via Universal Plate. The certification is on the strap system — not the mounting method.
Chevy, RAM, GMC, Toyota, and Nissan truck owners who need documented cargo securement compliance have one option in the mounted strap category. RAD. No other brand is claiming it.
Every Truck on the Road. One Strap System.
The Universal Plate system works on any truck bed that can be drilled and tapped. That covers every major truck brand and most specialty applications.
Ford trucks with factory BoxLink anchor points install without drilling. See the Ford F-150 fitment page or Ford F-250 and Super Duty fitment page for the no-drill install.
Universal Install — You Choose the Position
The Universal Plate install requires drilling. This gives you full control over placement — front of the bed, rear corners, side walls, toolbox lid, wherever your haul pattern demands. The process is straightforward and RAD provides full support.
Tools Required
A drill, appropriate drill bit for your bed material, M6x1.0 tap if holes are not pre-threaded, and a wrench or socket set. All RAD hardware is included in the kit.
You Decide Where
Position the Universal Plate where it makes the most sense for how you haul. Bed rails, bed floor, toolbox wall — anywhere the plate sits flat and the drill can reach.

Not a Ford Product. An American Product.
RAD Truck Straps started with Ford because Ford gave them the best mounting platform. The Universal Plate brings the same system to every other truck on American roads. The patent, the DOT certification, the steel, the American assembly — none of that changes based on what you drive.
The Only DOT-Certified Option
No other mounted strap brand claims DOT certification — on Ford trucks or any other. RAD is the only choice for buyers who need documented cargo securement compliance.
US Patent No. 12594871
Granted US patent. The original mounted ratchet strap system. Every alternative in the market followed RAD's lead. None hold this patent.
