How Do You Put an E Track in a Truck Bed?

Installing E track in a truck bed is a great way to secure cargo while transporting it. The E track system provides adjustable flexibility and secure attachment points for tie-downs, straps, and ratchets to keep the cargo safe and secure during transit. Installing an E track in your truck bed is a relatively easy task that does not require any specialized tools or expertise.

Step 1: Measure the inside of your truck bed to determine the length of E track that you will need. Most truck beds are 8 feet long, so you should get an 8-foot length of E track. Make sure to measure from side to side and from front to back before purchasing your E Track.

Step 2: Place the E track into the truck bed, making sure that it is lined up properly with the sides and back of the bed. Be sure to place it as close to the edges as possible so that there is minimal gap between the edge of the track and edge of the bed.

Step 3: Use a drill with a Phillips head bit to attach screws into each hole in the E track. Be sure to use screws that are long enough (1-2 inches) so that they penetrate through both sides of the truck bed.

Step 4: Once all screws are in place, use a ratchet or other tool to tighten them securely. This will ensure that your E Track stays firmly in place.

Conclusion:


Installing an E Track in your truck bed is relatively simple and does not require any specialized tools or expertise.

All you need is an 8-foot length of E Track, some screws, and a drill with a Phillips head bit. Once all screws are tightened securely, you can then attach tie-downs or other straps for securing cargo during transit.
