TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs - Custom Frame Mount - Front
They do exactly what you think they'd do. I actually had to swap them from one truck to another (went from an double cab to a crew cab) and TorkLift actually sent me a whole new hardware kit. The hardest part is fishing the bolt/nut setup on the driver's side as the gas can is in the way, other than that it's easy peasy.
The TorkLift Products need no review here, so my review is more in regard to etrailer's customer service... I was in a hurry getting my rig set up for our new camper that was due to land at the dealer very soon. So I purchased a complete set of TorkLift Tiedown mounts, both Front a Rear for my vehicle, along with a 4-pack of FastGun Turnbuckles. The order was on hold due to the rear Torklifts on B/O and waiting for a production run to complete. I spoke with Teresa in sales, and she had no problem splitting up the order and shipping what was in stock, right away. She also issued a refund on the rear mounts that were on Backorder without any issues....Thank you Teresa! The Expediting was quick and flawless as well. Thank you etrailer team!

TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs - Custom Frame Mount - Rear
Got the tie-downs today. Shipped quickly. There is an extrusion ridge on the inside of the square tubing my hitch was made from. I had to file that out. Once done, everything slipped together like an Erector-Set project. Whole thing took 20 minutes. Very pleased.
I really don't write reviews often but when everything is perfect is worth the time. I am a repeat Etrailer customer so it didn't surprise me that my shipment was complete and received in two days. These TorkLift frame mounted camper tie-downs are high-quality, heavy duty and powder coated. I put a full set on my new 2016 Ford F350 SRW 4 X 4 and will be using them with a Lance 855S truck camper. Installation went flawless without any drilling or adjustments. Instructions were clear and to the point. The most important benefit to the product is that your camper is held to your truck by the frame and not the bed and bumper. This reduces camper sway, movement and stress on the truck body. As far as appearance the tie down arms are removable for when the camper is not in use. This sure beats drilling holes in your truck bed, bumper and attaching brackets that permanently stay on the truck. Hats off to etrailer and TorkLift!

TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs - Custom Frame Mount - Front
Great quality product. Arrived on time. Drivers side took a little longer because of fuel tank skid plate removal. Overall very sanitary application.
4 stars, just cause of the written instructions. Could be clearer. Product Review: F2016, 2012 Ford F250 extended cab 8' bed I really like the Torklift front tiedowns. I didn't feel I had the skill to fab the front tiedowns. The rear however, are rather simple. 2 1/2" 1/4" wall square pipe slips inside the factory hitch receiver. I used 27" lengths. The factory Ford hitch receiver curves towards the rear axle. Drilled and tapped thru receiver and pipe to hold it. Happy with the quick service from etrailer.com!

TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs - Custom Frame Mount - Front
Frame mounted tie downs! What more can one say?
Installation papers where poor quality (especially the pictures). The brackets I'm very happy with. The bolt holes didn't line up exactly but with a little work they do bolt down. The bolt for the top bracket is to close to the support for the washers so nut only. The video shows end caps but were not included.

Brophy Slide In Camper Tie-Downs - No Drill Bed Mount - Qty 4
I used these to mount a vintage 1970 Avion C-11 to a 1993 D250. They worked great and were much stronger than I expected - and it was a huge cost savings (and a much more attractive look) than some of the frame mounted options of more than $1000. There were some oddities that I noticed. It was impossible to mount them exactly the way the instructions suggested because of where on the wings near the cab,. The brackets also could not stay on with the camper unloaded because they would hit the jack mounts, meaning they had to me bolted in after the camper was in the truck but before lowering the jacks, making the access to the bolts a frustrating 'feel for it' experience.I'f suggest the manufacturer secure the bolt so that you don't need to hold both sides when tightening/loosening, and also refine it to need less turns to do so. It took me 2 hours to mount the first time, and not much less when removing them with the limited access. The pads also came off in the first use. I gave it a 5 star because I realize there are limited options for older campers and anything universal is going to have issues with some thing - so that's just my input and experience. Overall pretty reasonable for the price and functionality.
The product was shipped extremely quickly, it arrived 3 days after I ordered them. As far as the product goes I was extremely pleased that they were as easy to install as the product video showed them to be. I had been looking for a tie down system that would work for my 2018 Ford since I purchased my camper in 2020 and after much research I found these at etrailer. One word of advice is that if your camper has a shower or other design that allows the camper to extend across the bed behind the wheel wells, either move the rear tie downs forward or shorten the leveling stud before you attempt to load your camper. On mine it turned out that once the tie downs were placed and attached I had to cut off about 3 inches of the threads. Other than that it was an easy install although the bolts that attach the tie downs to the under lip clamp are a challenge to install but take your time and they will go on. I will post an update once I have been on the road for a few trip and see how they are working. Thank you etrailer for your super fast shipping and online product videos.

Definitely love these tie downs. I can convert my truck into a camper in less than five minutes and they securely hold the slide-in no matter the road conditions or terrain we are crossing.
Holly smokes that was some fast shipping! Ordered in the evening and the package was delivered just after noon, the next day. Great quality and easy installation. Made it possible to go pick up & haul my new camper.

Brophy Stake Pocket Mounted Camper Tie-Downs - Bed Mount - Qty 4
Used these on my 2012 Tundra Crew max Had to put in more effort in the installation then the instruction tell or show. for example the truck pockets where these slide into I had too cut the plastic that was covering the holes, I removed the tail light on one side to get the top bolt screwed in. I had to remove the gas cap and plastic to secure the top bold. I also added bigger washers cause there are existing hole that hold the factory plastic so the nut couldn't slide out and away. Other then that these mount work great
Not compatible with 99 Ford F-150, even though the description said it was. Stake pockets are double walled on this truck. Bolts too short. Very frustrating.

TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs - Custom Frame Mount - Rear
I originally ordered the incorrect rear Torklifts camper hold downs for my truck. However, I called etrailer and explained my error. They not only helped me pick the correct ones, they sent them out that day. I haven’t installed the rear TC hold downs yet. I was most impressed with the free shipping both ways with no questions asked! I was issued an RMA and the refund came quickly. Very good customer service in an age when there often isn’t any service , let alone great service. The front mounts fit perfectly!
Installed on a Curt 2 1/2 receiver just put on my F350 SD Supercab Diesel SRW 4x4. This bracket does fit this truck with the Curt receiver. I found a little oil on the drill bits and a reamer to remove the last bit of metal from the holes in the receiver helped mount the brackets.

TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs - Custom Frame Mount - Front
They were quick to arrived from the time I placed my order. Although the tie downs didn't come with installation instructions, they were easy to install. These tie downs give me ease of mind that my camper is firmly secured to my truck.
Mounted at the same time I installed TFL1002 Super Duty trailer hitch. Simple install and construction of tie downs are heavy duty. Much stronger than anything mounted to the rear bumper (happijack mounts). Extensions slide right in and are secured with pin and clip. When removed they are barely noticeable looking at the truck from the side view.

Brophy Slide In Camper Tie-Downs - Extra Clearance - No Drill Bed Mount - Qty 4
Easy to put on they work perfectly very solid I have a 20-22 palomino SS 1251 truck camper Badland Edition doing a great job thank you a bunch
After installing the tie downs per the instructions I proceeded to connect a turnbuckle with chains and upon tightening it down the Brophy tie downs turned towards the camper connection point. In other words they would not tighten up.

TorkLift Talon Camper Tie-Downs - Custom Frame Mount - Aluminum - Rear
Excellent product. Good customer service. I will always use tork lift products from now on. etrailer is an excellent vendor as well. I upgraded from happy jack camper tie downs. I like the aluminum talon tork lifts for their easy installation, zero corrosion liability, and unimposing appearance when not in use.
Easiest installation available. These fit perfect and attach just as instructed. The only issue you may have to watch is that on some truck frames, mine being one of them, Ford covers one of the holes with a black sticker that states, "No Mounting Bracket". In my case, the writing on this sticker was covered by a film of road grime and I had problems even finding the hole to dry fit the bracket until I cleaned off the frame with solvent. The actually TorkLift kit fits the frame perfectly though. The passenger rear bracket is very close to the exhaust pipe so when diesel particulate filter regeneration cycle begins, it will melt the label off the bracket but does not appear the even burn the paint on it so should still be OK, just be aware when unhooking the tie down from the bracket as it could be very hot.

HappiJac Camper Tie-Downs - Custom Bed and Bumper Mount - Front and Rear
The tie down kit is very high quality, and the installation instructions were spot on. Our truck is in mint condition and I wanted a tie down system that was low profile, and did not take away from the looks of the truck when camper not on it. I've not used the turnbuckles yet, but they are set up ready for work and look great.
2010 Ford F-250 Super DutyI had previously used camper tie-downs that went into the stake pockets on the corners of the bed. They worked but kept bending up. I finally switched to the HappiJac version that adds unobtrusive mounts to the front of the bed and to the corners of the rear bumper. Mounting requires drilling and some time but wasn't bad with directions from etrailer. Front mounts are fantastic improvement. The rears are easy to use, but I see the bumper flexing. So far there is no sign of the bumper deforming at all. Five stars for the front mounts and three stars for the rears. Overall, though, big improvement over stake pocket tie-downs. I have a 2002 Ford F250 Superduty with a Lance Squire 10.5 camper.

Easy to install. Good quality construction. Great customer care when I ordered the incorrect version - was well handled.
fit pretty good and the device for getting the bolts in tough places was brilliant

TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs - Custom Frame Mount - Rear
The hardest part of the installation was removing the frame bolts from the truck that are reused. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and each piece fit perfectly where it was supposed to go. You don't need to be a mechanic to get these installed, but the proper tools are a must, along with a good chunk of an afternoon.
All parts arrived in good condition. The Torklift part you recommended was the exact fit, installation went well.
