My 2010 2500 has steel cargo rings in the four corners of the bed (not the plastic cleats).

Anyone know what these are rated for?

Might they be sufficient for a slide in camper of less than 1200#?

Thanks all.

I don't know that I'd use them for a truck camper regardless of what they're rated for. Very difficult to reach and make sure your connections are tight enough.

I'd use either the stake pocket tie downs, or even better, the tie downs that mount to the frame underneath.

If you can get access and tighten the straps then they should work. The stake pocket tie downs are rated for 1000 lbs in erickson or bullring. I've had loaded pipe racks held to the factory metal bed rings without issue in the past. Probably heavier than the lightweight camper you plan to hold down. I've never been able to find a definitive answer on the capacity of the factory rings though.
