Tie downs in rear seat of truck

Need to secure dog kennel in rear seat area of truck. After removing 1, or both, seats,.how do secure the kennel with supplied straps (Gunner kennel).

In the RAM, there are secure points on the floor, close to the door, and need something similar.

Any suggestions? Would love another Tundra but may have to go RAM as this vehicle is 30% tow the boat, 60% dog stuff, and 10% work/other (honestly have no idea if the percentages are correct but...kennel is a permanent fixture in my other vehicle).

Thanks in advance!!!

 

The RAM looks flatter across in the rear also. The Tundra has a hump in the floorboard that might make it awkward. If you plan to make the kennel a permanent fixture, the Ram may be a better choice for you. The 3rd gen is worse, I believe it has a large storage compartment under the seat.

2nd gen:

 

Was at dealership today, looking at a '19 Pro. If I take one set of the seats out, kennel will fit well on the hump. My concern is then how to secure the kennel with said straps.
Really hoping to NOT needing to go RAM...

 

When you remove the seats, there's going to be some really beefy threaded holes and bolts left over that used to hold them down. I'm not sure if they'll line up in a way you can use them but just an idea. Check out 1:43

I would look into using some d-ring tie down hooks and put them here. I don't think it would ruin the integrity of the seats or anything to have them down there. Use the back bolts from the front seats as another anchor point. You might have to trim that cover, or leave it off. I would use rubber coated rings so they don't rattle when not in use.

Found this but 1, guessing I would need longer screws for plywood and D-ring tie downs.

Using these straps so do need bigger d-rings. Is there a site suggested to purchase said d-rings?

 

A local hardware store should have some supplies. Like this
