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 there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a quick look at these TorkLift Talon Custom Front Camper Tie-Downs. These tie-downs are gonna provide the attachment points at the front of your truck bed to secure your truck camper's turn buckles. You will need to purchase the rear tie-downs as well. Those are sold separately, but that way you'll have tie-downs at all four corners of your vehicle. These are a custom fit.
They are going to fit many different 2013 through 2018 RAM 2500 and 3500s, just depending on your bed length, the kind of hitch you have and those sort of things. So I would recommend you using our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. You'll select your year, make and model of your vehicle and then we'll help narrow that down to make sure that these will work for you or find a similar option that will work for your setup. So the way these attach to your truck, it's gonna be frame mounted. So it's going to sit tight to your truck frame.
So you're not gonna have to worry about losing any ground clearance. Being attached to the frame, it is going to ensure excellent handling by securing to the, by securing your camper to your truck's base. Instead of up on the bed, it is going to better distribute the weight of the camper. So it's going to be better secured and not as top heavy as it would be if you we're to secure it to the bed itself. The instructions are very detailed, it'll walk you through the process to get this mounted in place.
Very simple to follow. It is very, very easy to get this mounted onto your truck's frame. And then once it's there, you'll have the option, this portion will always be on the frame but you will be able to remove these aluminum tie-down inserts here. So these are going to be extremely lightweight. They are aluminum, so it doesn't weigh much at all.
And these will slide right into those receiver tubes there. You've got the included pins, so there are two different holes to accommodate different width campers. And so if you have a wider camper, you can use that farther out hole. Or if you have a more narrow camper, you can use that narrower one. Just slide it in, get aligned up with a hole there and pass that pin through, like so. So it is gonna be very easy to get those attached but then when you're not using your truck bed camper, you can easily slide those out, store them inside. They do include these rubber caps that you can put on here that will help to protect those receiver tubes from any dirt, debris, that sort of thing, getting in there. But these are ones who remain hidden underneath your truck. So unlike some other tie-down attachment points that are just kind of a tab in between your cab and your truck bed, it's kind of an unsightly look. These are going to be virtually unnoticeable. So you won't have to worry about them taking away from the look of your RAM. And then when you're ready to use them, just very easily slide those attachment points in like that. Both the aluminum tie-down insert and our stainless steel receiver brackets are going to have a corrosion resistant powder coat on them. So it's gonna help like give a nice long lasting life. So they'll hold up really well for us. Like I said, very convenient to just slide those in, and not have to worry about seeing it when we're not using it so that we still have that factory look to our RAM. These are made here in the USA. So you can trust they're made to the high quality standards that we've come to know and trust for products that are made here in the US. They also come with a lifetime warranty. So if you we're to have any issues with them, you're more than welcome to reach out to us here at etrailer.com. But I don't think you're gonna have any problems. I think this can be a really great option for you.
