Video Transcript for TorkLift Talon Camper Tie-Downs: The Breakdown

Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a quick look at these TorkLift Talon Tie-Downs. These tie-downs are gonna be a great option for those of you who are wanting to take your truck bed camper and make sure that it's gonna be nice and secure on your truck. So these will attach directly to the frame of your truck. So that is gonna be a lot more secure than trying to tie it down to the side rails of your truck bed. Attaching it to the frame helps to better distribute the weight, so that it's gonna be very secure for you.

Now, this is just the front tube bracket. So it's gonna be either side at the front of your truck bed. You will need the rear brackets as well. Now you can find those sold separately here at etrailer.com using that part number that you see on the screen there. So you will need all four brackets.

But this system is really nice. It's a custom fit for your 2020 and newer, Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500. With the 3500 there you are gonna be limited to the single rear wheels instead of a dually. But this will work for both the Silverado and Sierra 2500 and 3500 with the six and three-quarter-foot bed. You will need to have either the Factory Hitch or the TorkLift Superhitch Magnum 30,000K Hitch, to ensure that it, everything is gonna fit properly.

If you have a different hitch, it might be using some of the holes that your tie-down system needs. So if you have either one of those kinds of hitches, this system will work great for you. This does feature these durable stainless steel receiver brackets that mount directly to the frame. So these are gonna be very durable and strong for you, give you that solid connection right there at your truck's frame, so that you know everything is gonna be very secure and sturdy. These brackets do fit right up against the frame.

So it's gonna be very snug. You're not gonna lose any ground clearance. It's not gonna hang down. So it will be a really great option for you. Then our tie-down inserts are a rustproof, aluminum. So they're gonna be very lightweight and easy to deal with. These secure to the receiver brackets. And you can see we've got two different holes here to determine the width or how far out they're gonna stick. So depending on how far out your camper sits, from the side, you can have this set out to right about 24 and a quarter of an inch out from your truck's frame. Or we can narrow that in to about 20 and a quarter of an inch. So just depending on how wide your camper is we'll determine which one you'll use there, but it's very simple to then just reinstall that pin, get that clipped in place. That's gonna give you a nice solid place to hook your tie-downs up to. Now, our brackets are a stainless steel, as I said, and our inserts are an aluminum construction. So they're gonna be rust and corrosion resistant anyway. But then we also have this powder coat finish on here that's going to add an extra layer of protection, make sure that it's gonna last for us for a long time to come. They do include all the hardware that you're gonna need to get this installed and instructions to walk you through every step of the way so that you can get everything installed properly. Very simple to do. Because these are custom brackets, you're not gonna have to do any drilling or welding. It's gonna be very simple to get it installed. And they do also include these caps. So when you remove the aluminum arms, these caps will fit over the, receiver brackets. That's going to help prevent any dirt prevent any dirt or debris from getting in there. And that's one of the really nice things about this system is that those aluminum tie-down brackets are removable. So you can just store these in the back of your truck or something. And these portions that are going to be permanently mounted to your truck bed are gonna be very inconspicuous. So you're really not gonna see them. They're gonna be kind of hidden up under your truck. So it's not gonna take away from the look of your vehicle, really not gonna notice 'em all at all. So unlike some of your other tie-down options where there's a very visible bracket mounted in place, this is gonna be very inconspicuous and it's going to look really nice on your vehicle when you're not using it. So, really great option here for those of you who are looking to maybe start camping with your truck bed camper, or maybe you're looking for an upgrade, or maybe you just got a new truck. This is gonna be a really great system. In my mind, this is probably the best option. We do have other options available here at etrailer.com. But, I really like the aluminum. I think that's gonna give you, just the flexibility, the lightweightness and, the corrosion resistance of that aluminum construction, but then also being able to remove those arms, gives you that clean finish when you're not using your camper so, I think this is gonna be a really nice system for you. It is made here in the USA. So you can trust it's made to the high quality standards that we've come to know and trust for products that are made here in the US.
