TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs - Custom Frame Mount - Rear
The drivers rear didn't get built correctly. the hole to put the tie done is missing. I had to drill a hole into the tie down so I could use it. Didn't notice the problem until I went to put the camper on my pickup. The other three are fine.
Forklift tie downs are manufactured to exact fit to existing manufactured frame rail holes. They lined up perfectly and after 6000 miles with camper on board have stayed secure. The only downside, (this is relative to when and ware you use you camper) they will corrode when driving through snow covered roads that have been treated with sand and/or salt. I use an oil based product to protect them corroding.

TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs - Custom Frame Mount - Front
The product was easy to install, a bit awkward with only one person on the front tie downs but if you had an extra set of hands then that problem would be solved. The top bolt hole on the front passenger side was out by about 1/8" but I resolved that by being able to get a drill on the inside of the frame and drilling through that way to allow the bolt to go through both truck frame and tie down. If it had been on the driver's side then it may have been an issue with the gas tank in the way. All is now installed and ready to go,
I bought both the front and rear tie-downs for my old Lance truck camper on a 2023 Ford F-250. Once installed they work great; very heavy duty. But the thing I liked most was the detailed instructions for installation. Everything needed came with the tie-downs and they were perfectly fitted to my F-250. All I needed was my old torque wrench. Installation probably took less than 2 hours.

The package arrived very quickly and intact. I have a 2020 Ford F250 SD Lariat short bed with a factory hitch. The tie-downs were really easy to install although the hitch adapter plate (see attached photo) which is supposed to attach to the end of the tie-down would not fit inside the tubing on my factory installed hitch so I installed without it and it is tight and snug

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
Poor packaging, missing parts and showed up looking used from being beaten in shipping.
I bought this when my previous belly bar and rear tie-down bent badly when our truck slid off the road into a steep ditch and our camper nearly tipped sideways off our truck. This product is a bit better then my old set up, but I expected something much better for this very high price. It wasn't too tough to install, despite the poorly written instructions. Also, the kit did not include a bolt fisher for the 7/16 bolt. The bolt fisher supplied was for a 1/2 inch bolt. Fortunately I had the correct bolt fisher from a previous project. I am also disappointed that the tie down hole has a slot cut in it which seems would significantly weaken it. I am not optimistic that the tie-down point will not bend or break if we have a similar significant side load such as when we slid into the ditch. I will probably weld the slot in the tie-down point shut to strengthen it.

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.

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
The order arrived earlier than expected and was complete. An excellent job of engineering; all the components worked perfectly with my 2018 Dodge Ram 3500 dually. There was some minor filing that had to be done on 2 of the bracket holes to allow the bolts to fit through; I suspect it was just the powder coating. However no modifications to the truck were required. The entire project took about 2 hours from start to finish.
Great packing nice turnaround time from order to reviving items cost was competitive only issue one of the sleeves was cut short more photos while installing to come

I like to thank Lori with etrailer and guiding me through the process of getting , Front and rear, Torklift Camper Tie-downs -Custom Frame Mounts. Well doing research this was the best way to go for tying down and stabilizing a camper. Torklift camper tie-downs are solid well built! I had ordered Mounts on Monday and received them on Friday . I Had the tie-downs on my , 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 by Saturday. The whole process was awesome , real easy installation. Great help with videos and instructions on mounting tie-downs on my truck provided by etrailer. I’m going to use them on my pop-up Hallmark Camper. Thank you for all your help etrailer.
I bought the TLC2220 for a low profile pop up cabover camper which I had for another Chevy 3/4 ton truck. The prior truck utilized a different attachment but was not available for my current 2012 Chevy truck. The TLC220 offers an excellent attachment point that is made out of thick well made steel and covered with a nice black powder coating. The instructions that came with the product should be thrown away. Pictures are poor, verbiage is incomplete and large gaps in the actual application. The saving grace is the video from etrailer. This is a great video. Complete, simple with no gaps and tells you exactly what the difficulties might be. This video even called out the socket sizes. Unfortunately the mate to this; the TLC 3212 rear mounts has a poor video with again gaps in application. And... again the TLC3212 written instructions is just fireplace starter material.

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!

Tommy C recommended the TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs. The Instructions are great and very easy to follow. They supply some cool wire helpers to hold bolts in the frame for you. All went very smoothly and a very secure. I love how solid the Camper feels on the truck.
2013 Chevrolet SilveradoThey are easy to install and work great with the torque lift camper tie-downs. They are so strong that I use them as a step to reach things in the bed of the truck when the camper is not in the truck.

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.

I was completely impressed with the fitment and overall quality of these Tie-Downs. I ordered them on-line they came quickly and I had them on the truck within a couple of hours with no problems at all, amazing! These things are very sturdy and well-built.
Tough install drivers side but got it done

After looking at other camper mount options I am glad I went with the TorkLifts. These are absolutely a heavy duty mounting system. They bolted to the frame of my 2020 F-250 Superduty using factory frame holes. Every thing needed came in the box. The install was fairly easy. I installed the front and rear mounts in less than 3 hours. Read all the instructions first before you start. I would recommend these mounts. They are a true frame mounted tie down system. My camper was expensive. I am so glad I did not go cheap on the tie down system.
Great product but drivers side hole F on directions is none existent on the 2023 f250. Not sure if it’s safe to use being that the passenger side has the same issue but they supply an extra bracket that utilizes another factory hole so it’s got more support. Needs to be updated for 2023 models.

The drivers rear didn't get built correctly. the hole to put the tie done is missing. I had to drill a hole into the tie down so I could use it. Didn't notice the problem until I went to put the camper on my pickup. The other three are fine.
Installation was easier than I expected. Fit my 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 perfectly.

TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs - Custom Frame Mount - Rear
They work great. Rear brackets are easy to install.
I had the mountings professionally attached to the frame. The hatches can be easily removed when not in use( and I would recommend that to keep them from being stolen). Using chains and turnbuckles, I feel very comfortable with my truck camper staying where it is.. does not rock, very solid. It’s nice to feel secure about my camper staying firmly attached. It was worth the investment.

TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs - Custom Frame Mount - Front
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.
Would have given it 5 stars except I am a little disappointed with the paint quality. Most parts had chips and spots of bare metal right out of the box. Installation was a breeze though and everything fit perfectly! I still would recommend this set, but if you have the extra $ maybe the aluminum version would be worth it if you are worried about rust? Too late for me though...

Another well engineered product well suited for the application and supported by knowledgeable staff at etrailer.
I just had a chance to put on quite a few miles in various conditions in these things perform flawlessly. I had some trouble with the installation as one of my frame bolts nut came loose so I had to drill another hole next to it and put a backer plant in the box but it turned out to work just fine doing that.
What our customers are saying:
"Very broad selection and outstanding service."
