Tieing down motorcycles

if hauling an MX bike the factory bed cleats work perfectly.

PitBull trailer restraint system will mount in a pickup bed.

ideal.
that it top notch.
iv'e never seen one in a Taco mounted.

 

I called pitbull yesterday to ask if they would recommend the trailer restraint system for pickup trucks.
