According to CR Brophy, the TDSF camper tie-down you refer to is not compatible with GM trucks after the 1988 model year.

My contact tells me that the HSSF tie downs are indeed compatible with a 2012 Silverado.

If you look at the provided photo, you will get a better idea of how the tie downs attach to the top of the bed rail.

The tie downs do not have a specified weight rating, but they are more than strong enough to handle any slide-in camper that will physically fit in your truck bed.
