Features to know about

Steady Handling on Long Trips: Frame-Mounted Tie-Downs

These tie-downs mount directly to your truck’s frame, keeping your camper stable and secure mile after mile. By anchoring to the strongest part of the vehicle, they distribute the camper’s weight evenly and lower the center of gravity. That means no sway, less strain on your bed, and a solid, confident ride even when you’re hauling through crosswinds or rough terrain.

Easy Install Without Drilling: Custom-Fit Mounts

The brackets bolt right onto pre-existing holes in the frame, so there’s little to no drilling and no need for cutting or modifications. The fit is custom-tailored to your truck for tight, secure placement with minimal loss of ground clearance. You get a clean install that’s ready for travel without altering the frame or body.

Built to Last: Aluminum and Stainless Steel

Durability matters when you’re driving through weather and road grime. These tie-downs use rustproof aluminum arms and stainless steel receiver brackets, finished with a high-impact powder coat for extra protection. The result is a setup that holds strong against corrosion and keeps performing season after season.

Clean Look When Not in Use: Removable Arms

Once your trip’s done, remove the tie-down arms and the brackets are barely visible under the truck. The low-profile design keeps your rig looking sharp while still being ready for the next adventure. When it’s time to load up again, just slide the arms back in place and tighten down your turnbuckles.

Secure Anchoring Made Simple: Dual Pin Holes for Turnbuckles

Each arm includes two pin holes so you can adjust how far it extends from the truck body. That lets you clear sidewalls and fenders while lining up with your camper’s anchor points. With the right tension on your turnbuckles (sold separately), you’ll have a solid hold that keeps the camper from shifting or sliding around while you drive.

Video Transcript for Feature Review TorkLift Tie Downs-TL48DR

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com and today we're gonna take a look at these TorkLift Talon custom frame-mounted aluminum rear camper tie-downs. These tie-downs are going to give you the attachment points at the rear of your truck bed for securing a bed-mounted camper. Now as I mentioned, these are custom made and so these will fit your 2019 to 2022 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty with the 6 3/4 foot bed with board or step underneath the truck bed and with a factory-installed hitch. And then the 2017 to 2022 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty with a 6 3/4 foot bed without board or step underneath the truck bed and with a factory installed hitch. And then finally, the 2017 to 2022 Ford F-250, F-350, and F-450 Super Duty eight-foot bed with or without the board or step underneath the truck bed and with the factory installed hitch. Now the frame-mounted design of these tie-downs are going to ensure excellent handling because securing your camper to your truck's base instead of its bed is going to better distribute the weight to keep your setup from being too top heavy.

These brackets are gonna fit tight to your truck frame so there will not be any loss of ground clearance. And these rustproof and lightweight aluminum alloy tie-down inserts are going to secure to the durable stainless steel receiver brackets. Now these inserts can be easily removed and I'm gonna give you an overhead look here so hopefully you can see it a little bit better. You just remove the included bail pins here, as you can see. And these are going to easily slide out of the receiver bracket.

And as I mentioned, these inserts are aluminum alloy so they're very lightweight, yet durable and it's not gonna be any trouble at all to get these out and maybe put 'em in the back of the cab of your truck. And then when you need 'em, you can just slide them back in. I did want to give you another closeup view here and show you that TorkLift provides what they call a finishing kit. You're going to get foam plugs to insert into the rear of the brackets and that's going to help keep out dirt and grime. Then you also have these vinyl caps that's going to give a nice finished look to the front of the receiver bracket and it's also going to keep it clean as well.

So as you can see, it's a tight fit. You gotta kinda work it on there a little bit. And so I've got it on and so it's going to keep it clean and give it a nice finished look. So that's a nice touch that these are included with this. And so I also wanted to point out we've got two different holes on our aluminum alloy inserts that those pins are gonna go through.

So if your camper is a bit wider, you would use the first hole on the insert to have the tie-down stick out a little bit farther, and then if your camper is a little bit narrower, you can move it into that second hole. So I'm gonna go ahead and put my insert back in, line up my holes here and then secure it with the bail pins and we are good to go. Now these tie-downs also feature a high impact powder coat finish and that's just going to add an extra layer of protection to the brackets. And I wanna give you another overhead view just so you can see everything that this comes with. You're going to get the two rear tie-down inserts, the frame brackets, the necessary hardware, and I just wanted you to have a good look at that to successfully install these. And then instruction manual to walk you through step-by-step through the installation process. And again, these vinyl caps and the foam blocks and again these are rear tie-downs, but if you are looking for front ones as well, just take a look at our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. Insert the year, make and model of your vehicle and our fit guide will give you the appropriate front camper tie-downs that will work for your vehicle and that will pair nicely with these rear camper tie-downs. These are made here in the U.S.A and that's going to conclude our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

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

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.

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 !

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.

I have not had any issues at all with the tie downs.

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.

Looks great! What kind of camper do you have?

by:
2006 Ford F-250 Super Duty
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.

@LazerS Thanks for the reply! The truck is currently stock, but we are getting airbags and new shocks placed on the truck tomorrow. We were told by our local 4 wheel parts the airbags will help lessen the load on the back of the truck with the weight of the camper. Hopefully they gave us the correct information. If you have other suggestions, I am open to hearing them! Thanks!

@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.

@Clay Happy to hear the # TL86NR are working well and keeping your setup solid. Paired with the fast gun turnbuckles is about as good as it gets. What type of in bed camper do you have?
by:
1996 Ford F-250 and F-350
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 appreciate the kind words Charles! Where did you take the in-bed camper for the first trip?

by:
2011 Chevrolet Silverado
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).

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!

I would say that the Torklift kit fit my 2024 GMC sierra pro crew cab perfectly the shipping to Canada took 5 days which I thought was fast delivery and it shipped the same day it was ordered

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.

Second set of Torklift camper tiedown brackets I have purchased. 1999 Dodge 2500 and 2016 Ram 3500. Fit good. No drilling. I would buy again. Good product. (I am a certified ASME, AWS, API, welder and fabricator). No hype, just fact.

  • Will Frame Mounted Camper Tie Downs Work With Ford OEM Extendable Running Boards?
    Hey Rowdy, thanks for getting in touch. Sadly, there are no frame mounted tie downs that will work with the Ford Factory extended running boards. If the running boards were cab length only, they would be compatible, but since yours extend under the bed, the frame mounted tie downs will not be compatible. The bracket goes in the same place as the step. The only way to add frame mounted tie downs would be to remove the running boards and add something cab-length. If you want to keep the...
