Features to know about
Secure Every Mile: Frame-Mounted Tie-Downs
When you’re hauling a camper, the last thing you want is shifting or sway. These frame-mounted tie-downs keep your setup solid by attaching directly to the truck’s frame—the strongest point available. That lowers the camper’s center of gravity and spreads its weight evenly, giving you stable handling even on rough or windy routes. Because they’re mounted to the frame instead of the bed or bumper, you get a ride that feels just as steady as driving without a camper.
Install Without Drilling: Custom-Fit Design
These tie-downs bolt straight into pre-existing holes in the frame, so setup is simple and doesn’t require cutting or drilling. The custom fit means everything mounts tight against the frame with minimal loss of ground clearance. Once installed, they stay out of the way and don’t hang low, so you won’t have to worry about catching them on uneven roads.
Stay Hidden When Not in Use: Removable Arms
You can remove the arms when the camper’s off and hardly notice the brackets underneath. The mounts tuck up close to the body, keeping your truck’s clean look intact between trips. When it’s time to load up again, just slide the arms back in and attach your turnbuckles.
Built to Last: Aluminum and Stainless Steel
Made with rustproof aluminum arms and stainless steel receiver brackets, these tie-downs are built for years of use in all kinds of weather. The high-impact powder coat adds another layer of protection from road debris and salt, so they’ll stay strong through long-distance travel.
Adjustable Connection for a Perfect Hold
Each arm has two pin holes that let you fine-tune how far it extends from the body. That extra adjustability helps clear fenders or sidewalls while giving your turnbuckles a clean line to your camper anchors. With two anchor holes on each plate, you can set the best tension and angle for a secure hold every time.

Video Transcript for Hands-On with the TorkLift Tie Downs-TL42VV
Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. And today we're gonna take a look at these Torklift Talon custom frame mounted aluminum front camper Tie-downs. Now these tie-downs provide attachment points at the front of your truck bed for securing a bed mounted camper. These are a custom fit part, so these are designed to fit various versions of the early 2000 year models of the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado. To see if these are going to work for your truck take advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com and insert the year, make and model of your truck.
And our fit guide will let you know if these will work for you, or if we have something comparable that will work for you. Now, the frame mounted design is going to ensure excellent handling because securing your camper to your truck's base, instead of its bed better distributes weight to keep your setup from being too top heavy. The brackets are going to fit tight to your truck's frame. So there's not gonna be any loss of ground clearance. And these rust proof and lightweight aluminum alloy tie-down inserts are going to secure to durable stainless steel receiver brackets.
Now the inserts can be easily removed, from the frame mounted brackets, just remove the included bale pins here. That's going to secure the inserts inside of the receiver and they remove easily. Again, these aluminum inserts are lightweight and so they're gonna be very easy to remove from your receiver bracket and then throw them in the the back of the cab of your truck for easy storage. And then you're gonna be able to easily reinsert these when you are ready to use them. Again, these are rustproof and yes, they are lightweight but they are also very durable.
Now the inserts have two different holes. And so if your camper is a little bit wider you would use this first hole on the insert to have that tie down point, stick out a little bit farther. And if your camper is a little bit narrower, you can move it into this inner hole. And that's where I'm going to move this one back to where I had it originally and line up my holes with my pin. And that's how easy it is to reinsert it and secure it.
So this is gonna provide you a nice secure connection for your turn buckles. Now these feature a high impact powder coat finish. That's going to add an extra layer of protection to the brackets and the inserts and you're gonna get everything you see here on the table before me, you're gonna get two front tie down inserts. You're gonna get the frame brackets, the necessary hardware and instructions to walk you through step by, step on installing these. So you have everything here for a successful installation. The rear tie downs are sold separately but can be found here at etrailer.com. Again, by using our fit guide and these are made in the USA and have a limited lifetime warranty. Well, that's gonna conclude our look today, I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me..

After selling previous truck camper and getting a new truck these tie downs are outstanding. The direct fit for year make model is awesome. Takes the guess work out installation. The install instructions were really good as well as etrailers videos. etrailer is the great providing product install walk thru. The adjustability of these tie downs made my life easier when I picked up my new TLRV 8 foot truck camper.

It definitely is safe the way you have them, Paul! In a perfect world, the turn buckles would be perfect vertical, but this an imperfect world and not all campers have the attachment points in the same place. If you take a look at some of the installed pictures on the TorkLift Locking FastGun Turnbuckles # TLS9529-2-LK page, you can see most of them are at an angle. It's perfectly normal. Are you running any suspension enhancement on your Silverado?

I ordered this kit for my 2018 Ford F150 'Heavy Half' regular cab, long bed pickup. The tie downs came with all the necessary hardware, good instructions, were easy to install with basic tools, and required no drilling. Shipping was very fast. I would absolutely recommend TorkLift tie downs and etrailer.com.

They seem stout and were easy enough to install. I added my own 2” square rubber caps to the ends to keep road debris out when they’re not in use, those should be included. For $850 the packaging could use some work. They arrived all banged up, the “high impact powder coat” is worn off in several areas leaving bare steel exposed.

I did a lot of research to find the right kind of frame mounts for my dads truck. Lots of local RV places didn't even know what I was looking for, or quoted me for the wrong parts. After I was certain I found the right tie downs, I contacted etrailer customer service chat representative and they were a great help at confirming the parts I found would in fact fit my dads truck. My husband and dad installed them in less than 2 hours. The parts came quickly and in excellent packaging/condition.

Install looks great, Megan! Especially for it only taking two hours! They were moving. : ) Happy we confirmed what you found as well. Tie downs can be a pain in the rear with all the options out there. Now I do have to ask though, have you guys thought about any kind of suspension enhancement for the rear axle? It's a little hard to tell, but it looks like the back is sagging a bit in your last picture.
Lazer S.
10/14/2025
@Megan Air bags are what I was going to recommend! Great minds think alike. : )
With them being fully adjustable, they are definitely the way to go. They can change the unloaded ride a little, but not nearly as much as some other ways of doing it that are not adjustable.
Sounds like you guys are doing everything right to me. Let me know how it goes!

Absolutely the only way to correctly attach your truck camper. Pair these white Fastguns and it’s a great combo. I just went on a 5000 mile trip with my TC and never moved an inch.

A year later and I would not do anything different. Absolutely the best system available especially paired with the fast guns. The camper is solid mounted and does not move. Yet can still be off loaded in just a few minutes. Remember good stuff isn’t cheap and cheap stuff isn’t good.

Really disappointed for the cost. First of all it says several times in the description that it requires no drilling. That’s not the case at all. I had to drill 12 holes in my truck frame. The bolts included for the top mounting bracket were the incorrect length so I had to purchase longer grade eight bolts to install as suggested by the manufacturer with a lock washer and nut. The cheaped out on spacers (like shown in the directions) and included huge washers and to top it off the slide in mounts were all scraped up and have peeling powder coating. I feel like I got absolutely ripped off.

We had a hiccup with my order and it was lost in cyberspace for a day until I called and was able to get it going. Unfortunately, I needed them by Saturday and I ordered them Wednesday. They didn't ship until Thursday afternoon and didn't arrive until Monday. The seller of the camper was kind enough to hold the camper for me, but it was touch and go there for a while.
Installing them was a challenging because the pictures in the guide were difficult to see which slowed the installation down a little. It took 2 of us about 3 hours to install them. Now that they are on the truck with the camper they seem to be working great! The only problem remaining is the front tie downs use a bolt to hold the tie down to the frame and it obstructs the passage, so it will only advance as far as the first pin making the second hole unreachable (it sticks out from the truck a few extra inches and makes the extension wobble up and down until the turnbuckle was installed).

Not a good experience so far. Torklift product was defective and they sent the wrong size bolt fish wires. Took 3x as long to install as should have due to wrong size fish wires. Torklift is not very responsive on the solution to the defective part. Torklift did not drill one of the holes in the tie downs

Ordered for 2025 GMC 3500HD to carry our Arctic Fox slide in camper. Kits were shipped right away and arrived in Anchorage in 5 days (as ordered). The tie downs are excellent quality, all hardware arrived with the kit, instructions were "OK", installation on rear tie downs a little tricky, but managed to do ourselves. Looking forward to some great camping adventures. Thanks for the GREAT service!

The product itself is GREAT and fits PERFECTLY. I'd give 5-stars if packaged properly to ensure the paint stayed whole as it left the factory. Instead some of the metal pieces showed up dinged and now will rust prematurely. Customer service is always solid with etrailer.

Order the kit. This is the second set I have ordered in the last few months. etrailer ships fast and makes sure you can track your shipments. Also notifies you every step of the way. I appreciate the follow through with keeping me informed at when my package will arrive. I tried to buy these direct from the manufacture but they wanted more than etrailer and I had to find back and front sets. They did not sell them in kits.
Also glad the etrailer doesn't play the game of shipping in the lower 48 states only BS, there are 50 official states ins the USA (51 if your counting Alberta)! Plus numerous US territories...

A year later, no issues with tie downs, except normal wear and tear and metal to metal wearrust progression. These tiedowns are designed great and fit function was clearly created by someone who knows not only design but install ! E-trailer is “the” place to buy rv, camper, towing etc products - the install videos are sooooo helpful ! Thx ET !
