Because these anchors bolt to your truck's frame under the bed, you can maximize your truck's payload capacity. And they're only exposed when you need them, so no more worries about your tie-downs rusting quickly or getting in your way.
Camper shift during travel can damage your rig and ruin your ride. These anchors bolt directly to your truck's frame - the most secure mounting point - so your camper stays locked in place, even during sudden stops and crosswinds. If you've ever gripped the wheel tight, wondering if your load will hold, this is how you drive without that worry.
And because these tie-downs mount to the frame, they distribute force lower than external mounts and across the full length of your truck. This reduces sway, minimizes twisting between your camper and truck bed, and improves how your truck handles with the load. Unlike bed-mounted systems that can feel top-heavy when you're driving through the mountains of Colorado or the windy plains of Kansas, these anchors help your setup stay balanced and stable.
These anchor points aren't just for slide-in campers. You have a truck, so you're going to want to haul things like motorcycles or ATVs, firewood, hunting equipment, or home improvement supplies in the bed too. These give you a reliable anchor point to secure those things, and because they're frame-mounted, they're going to let you get the maximum capability out of your rig. When you're ready to haul, just pull the anchor up, twist, and remove the anchor cap to reveal a full 360° swivel point. This makes it easy to attach tie-downs or ratchet straps from any angle, which is perfect for odd-shaped cargo, ATVs, or gear that doesn't sit square. And if the anchor gets pushed down without the cap, you won't have to worry about fishing it back out. It comes back up easily - the cap just helps to keep debris out and gives your truck that clean look you love.
When you're not using them, the anchor points retract flush into the bed, keeping your bed clean, functional, and free of bulky tie-down hardware. You can maintain a sleek factory look for your daily driving without giving up secure anchor points when it's time to haul.
Each set is custom designed for your specific truck model and meant to replace your factory-installed, light-duty cargo anchors. This means you get a smooth, bolt-on installation with no drilling into your truck's frame. You will need to cut through your truck bed for the tie-down receiver assembly, but a drill template is included to make positioning easy and accurate.
These truck bed camper tie-downs are ideal for slide-in campers that use internal anchor points: Cirrus, Four Wheel Campers, Travel Lite, Scout and other models. Use them with Apex Turnbuckles (TL88SV) for a complete tie-down system.
These tie-downs are made from corrosion-resistant materials so you can expect them to hold up against different year-round weather conditions, road salt, and rough terrain without flaking, peeling, or premature rusting. ApexAnchors are made in the USA and backed by TorkLift's lifetime warranty so you can have confidence in your setup mile after mile.

Hello, neighbors, it's Brad here from etrailer and today we are in Elkhart, Indiana at the RV Open House, where we have quite a few of our vendors that we're gonna take a look at some of their products and some of their offerings and get a nice close look at them. And I'm with Kyler from Torklift. Hey, everyone. Torklift has some awesome products for your camper tie downs. Chances are if you're out on the road, you've either seen the tie down, turn buckles, or the mounting points custom-fit to your vehicle. And you guys have a new product that we wanna look at today.
Absolutely. Thanks, Brad. Hey, everyone, Kyler with Torklift again. ApexAnchors is something that we released about a year ago, and this is just cutting-edge technology, not only for truck campers and how certain truck campers are mounted, but just for cargo in general in the back of trucks. Right now, it's in its stored position.
The ApexAnchor provides four anchor points in the truck bed, and it allows you to have a frame-mounted anchor point system inside the truck. And I know we're saying truck camper, but again, I've seen Harley owners, motorcycles, anybody who's. Even if you have lumber that you're hauling, because number one, it's frame-mounted. So the weight rating is 2,000 pounds per anchor. Now, obviously, we're always limited to the truck's payload capacity, so that's why we're coining the term payload anchors because this will allow you to maximize the payload capacity of your truck.
So, the ApexAnchor is set up in two kits. You have a front kit and a rear kit. So, if you did just want to upgrade your front, you can. And what you're essentially doing is you are extending the frame of the truck through the bed, which is providing an anchor point. And again, this can be used for all sorts of cargo.
The inception of the product was designed for cabover campers, right But again, you're not limited to that. And this provides a nice spring-loaded system, which prevents camper shift. Now, that's important 'cause sometimes you'll see campers with ratchet straps that come down, and I can see it from a convenience standpoint that seems like incredibly useful. But with ratchet straps, you don't know how much tension you have. And then it causes, I'll call it spooling, spool cinching. So when you get some leverage on it, think of like your seatbelts, essentially what's going on, and it's allowing some cinching. So some excess of the nylon or the material is allowed to be relieved, I guess, and that can cause camper shift, right And so this eliminates that with our turn buckles. This here, this is a good representation of what I was talking about earlier. This is your factory cargo anchor point. This is your payload anchor point. So just to kind of go over the bullets. Bolts directly to the strongest part of the truck, the frame. (drill whirring) Those are intended factory cargo anchor points intended for temporary use, light-duty. Think of you're picking up a plastic play set that you got on Craigslist and you need to strap it down. That's what these are intended for. They're not intended for 2,000, 3,000, 1,000-pound truck campers, or even a Harley, right So when you're ready to engage the system, you pull on the cap, and there you can see the difference. Now, what I was saying earlier was I said lumber, some people might be surprised by me saying, "Lumber," but if anyone who's hauled lumber, it's very. It's a shallow load. And so when the cargo anchor points are all the way up here, it doesn't provide the proper kind of tie down system that you need. So that shallow cargo has no problem because you're able to strap those down perfectly fine. Now, this is a new product. I said that it's about a year old now, but we are rapidly expanding our fitments, from Toyota to Chevy, Dodge, Ford, you name it. We have a goal to get as many trucks in as quickly as possible. And if you don't see a fitment available, you can reach out, and we will put you on the list and notify you when they're available. So, Kyler hit on a lot of good points, and something you brought up with the lumber that is interesting because you're right, those cargo tie downs from the factory are high. And yeah, how do you even go to loop it It's just not a great system. So you guys are offering low tie down points, fantastic, nice and strong. And also, just from looking at all of their normal camper tie down points, custom fit to the vehicle, like you said, well-made, super heavy duty. But I mean, it's custom fit, so it's gonna be perfect. Now, as far as installation. Is that just a whole saw to get that through Yeah, and you know, sometimes, that can make people go, "Well, hold on." What's great about our kit is that when you bolt it on, it's its own template. So, we provide templates with the kit, all you do is you drill your pilot hole, you can't make the mistake 'cause it only bolts on one way, right Custom fit. Mm-hmm. I've done lots of underbed goosenecks, and it is always nerve-wracking, but having that template there, it's hard to mess up. So, if you're looking to get some nice tie down points in your bed, whether you're doing the in bed camper, I'm here to tell you, Torklift is fantastic. And as Kyler mentioned, the Apex is gonna be a fantastic option to really use all your bed space, but be nice and structural, clean-looking, and really just serve all the purposes, so- Yeah, and it's all manufactured in Washington State. So, you know, we love the USA-made products with a lifetime warranty as well. So, can't go wrong there. Lots of peace of mind. Thank you, Kyler. Yep.
