These custom fit tie-downs give you the safest and most comfortable ride when hauling a camper. They mount to the frame of your pickup - no drilling required! With the arms removed, the brackets can barely be seen. Made of rustproof aluminum.
Features:
If you're looking for the best tie-downs for your camper, frame-mounted is the way to go. The frame is the most solid part of your entire vehicle, so it just makes sense to attach your camper to something that's not going to warp, bend, or twist. Even more importantly, the camper's center of gravity will sit lower and its weight will be spread across the entire bed. This avoids a top-heavy load perched on top of your bed rails that's liable to sway and get pushed around by crosswinds. The camper's not going to shift or slide around while you drive; it's going to stay put, and your truck is going to handle just like it does without a camper.
Quick Tip: If you have a plastic or spray-in bed liner, it's important that you use a rubber mat under the camper to eliminate any sliding or bouncing.
Frame-mounted tie-downs are also a great pick for preserving your truck's good looks. The brackets install on the frame, tucked nearly flush with the underside of the vehicle. Remove the arms from the brackets when you're not hauling your camper, and the brackets will be barely visible.
Completely custom to your vehicle, the tie-downs attach to exisiting holes in your frame so that there's little to no drilling and no need for any modifications. Because they're custom, you'll want to use our in-house application guide to make sure you get the exact right model. The tie-downs you need might be different depending on what type of hitch or other accessories you have.
Once the tie-downs are installed, use a set of turnbuckles (sold separately) to secure the camper to the tie-downs. The shank on each arm has 2 pin holes so you can choose how far out they extend, that way the turnbuckles can reach the anchors on your camper without making contact with your truck. Tighten the turnbuckles to the correct level of tension (not too tight!).
Make sure the anchor points are offset from the tie-downs instead of lined up with them so that they will hold your camper from multiple angles. This is important for keeping your camper from shifting. Two holes in the attachment plate of the tie-downs let you find the best angle for you camper anchors.

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com, and today we are going to take a look at these TorkLift Talon, custom fit, frame-mounted, aluminum, rear camper tie-downs. Now, these tie-downs are going to fit a variety of Ford, GMC, and Chevrolet trucks. To see if these are going to fit your truck, take advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. Insert the year and make and model of your vehicle and answer some of the follow-up questions and our fit guide will let you know if these rear camper tie-downs will fit your truck. These custom tie-downs provide attachment points at the rear of your truck bed for securing a bed-mounted camper. The front tie-downs are sold separately and to find those, again, you would use our vehicle fit guide and our vehicle fit guide will let you know what front tie-downs will work for your truck.
These brackets fit tight to your truck's frame with no loss of ground clearance, and the frame-mounted design ensures excellent handling because securing your camper to your truck's base instead of its bed, it better distributes the weight to keep your setup from being too top-heavy. Now, these are gonna be virtually undetectable when they're not in use, and so I'm just gonna go ahead and remove one of these bail pins here that are included with your tie-downs just to show you how easy these inserts can be removed. So, the inserts are aluminum so they're very lightweight but also very rugged and durable. And so, once you remove the insert, there are these caps that are included that you can just pop over the receiver here on the bracket and that's going to keep debris, junk out of there. So, it'll be nice and clean but it'll also give it a nice finished look.
And so, as you can see, when you remove the insert the bracket is going to be virtually undetectable as it's there mounted underneath the rear of your truck bed. So I'm just gonna go ahead and remove the cap and I did want to mention that there are two holes on these inserts and the hole that is the farthest out, right here, you would use that hole for wider campers and if your camper is a little bit narrower, then you can bring the insert in more in the receiver and use this hole that is closer to the front of the insert and that is the hole I'm gonna be using right now and that is going to bring that insert in more for your narrower truck beds or your truck bed campers rather. So I'm just lining up my holes here and then I'm just going to reattach the pin and we are good to go. Now, these are made in the USA and as I mentioned before, the tie-downs are constructed of rustproof and lightweight aluminum alloy that are going to secure to these stainless steel receiver brackets and a high-impact powder coat finish is going to add an extra layer of protection to the brackets and the inserts. So you are gonna receive two rear tie-down inserts, the frame brackets, and the necessary hardware along with the instructions and the caps that we talked about previously.
And these do carry a lifetime warranty. Well, that's gonna conclude our look today. I do hope it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me..
