Features to know about

Stable Handling on the Road: Frame-Mounted Tie-Downs

These rear tie-downs mount directly to your truck’s frame, giving your camper a solid foundation that keeps it stable and level on long trips. By distributing weight evenly and lowering the center of gravity, they help your truck maintain its normal handling even with a camper loaded. That means less sway and better control in crosswinds or on uneven roads.

Simple Setup: Bolt-On, No-Drill Install

The custom-fit brackets use pre-existing holes in the frame, so there’s little to no drilling needed. The bolt-on design keeps installation straightforward and preserves the strength of your truck’s frame—no cutting or modifications required. Once installed, the tie-downs sit tight to the frame for minimal loss of ground clearance.

Built Tough: Powder Coated Steel Construction

Each set is made from black powder coated steel for strength and corrosion resistance. This durable finish stands up to weather, road grime, and long hauls without rusting or weakening. The heavy-duty build gives you confidence that your camper will stay secure in rough conditions.

Clean Look When Not in Use: Removable Arms

When you’re not hauling a camper, you can remove the tie-down arms and leave the brackets mounted under the truck. They tuck up neatly against the frame so they’re barely visible. You keep a clean factory appearance without losing the convenience of a permanent mounting system.

Custom Adjustable Fit: Two Anchor Points for Secure Connection

Each arm includes two pin holes so you can extend them just far enough to clear sidewalls and fenders. That adjustability helps you achieve the best angle for your turnbuckles (sold separately) while keeping tension balanced from multiple directions. The result is a snug, secure hold that keeps your camper exactly where it should be.

Video Transcript for Review of TorkLift Truck Camper Tie Downs - Custom Frame Mounted Rear Camper Tie Downs - TL48GV

Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at these TorkLift, custom frame mounted rear camper tie downs. Now these tie downs are gonna give you attachment points at the rear of the bed of your truck for securing a bed mounted camper. Turn buckles are required to attach your camper to these tie downs. And of course, those turn buckles are sold separately, but you can find 'em here at etrailer.com.

Now these have been designed to fit your 2019 to 2020 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500, both with the eight foot bed without a board, or step underneath the truck bed. And with a factory installed hitch on custom fit parts, such as these tie downs, I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. Just input the year, make, and model of your vehicle and our fit guide will confirm if these will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you. If you're also looking for the front camper tie downs, you'll just go through the same process through our fit guide. I do wanna point out that these are not going to be compatible with trucks with plastic bedliners, just so you're aware of that upfront.

So the frame mounted design is going to ensure excellent handling because securing your camper to the base of your truck, instead of its bed, is going to better distribute weight to keep your setup from being too top heavy. These brackets are going to fit tight to the truck's frame, so there's not gonna be any loss of ground clearance. They will use preexisting holes in the frame. So there's gonna be the little to no drilling required to install these. And these steel tie down inserts are going to secure to these durable steel receiver brackets.

And the inserts can be easily removed from these frame mounted brackets with the included bale pins here that I have right here. And so when you remove these, it's gonna make these tie downs virtually undetectable when they're not in use. So let me just give you a brief demonstration of how easy this is going to be to remove. So I went ahead and removed our pin and then removed the insert. And so you can then just take these inserts and put 'em in the back of the cab of your truck when they're not in use.

So as you can see, you're really not gonna be able to see anything once you have those inserts removed. And if you notice here we have two holes here in these inserts. So if your camper is a little bit wider, you would use the first hole here on the insert to have the tie down point stick out a little bit farther. If your camper is a little bit narrower, you can move it into that second hole, which that's what the hole that I'm using here just to make sure this is all gonna fit on my table. So I'm gonna slide this back into place and match up my holes there and then just replace the pin and just secure it, just like that. And then that insert is going to be secure in that bracket. So these do feature a high impact powder coat finish. It's going to give you an extra layer of protection to the brackets and to the inserts. You're gonna receive everything that you see here on my table. And as you can see, I do kind of have these loosely put together where most of the hardware is going to go, just to kind of give you an idea of what this is going to look like. Instructions are also included to guide you through the installation process. These do have a lifetime warranty from TorkLift. And I think that's gonna wrap up our quick look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

First, Andy was great to work with and very helpful.
I bought and installed the frame mounted Torklift camper mounts on my 2021 GMC 2500HD Sierra Denali and I’m very pleased with them, they’re stout. As long as you’re mechanically inclined and can follow instructions you should be able to install them yourself without assistance.

Install looks great, Robert! Do you already have your camper ready to go for an adventure?

by:
These tiedowns were exactly as advertised and fit my 2023 f350 4wd crew cab perfectly using preexisting holes and mounts. They even came with wire feeders to feed the bolts through the holes on the frame. Instructions were very good and easy to follow. Can adjust the width of tie down and can also drill new holes to customize the width. I highly recommend these.

These tie downs are sill working as advertised. I have travelled over 20,000 mi with them in various conditions with about 10 of that time in dirt roads or 4wd roads. Nothing too crazy, but with my camper and these tied downs I am confident that the camper will remain attached and be secure. It hardly moves around at all. They are worth the money and I can still remember how easily they installedvery welll thought out design and installation!

by:
I have a 2024 ram 3500 dually stock max tow package.
I figured I’d put pictures up that are of top quality and lighting as most instructions on trailer a vague and generic.
This product fit perfectly and it went on in 15 mins for both sides. ( no rusty bolts to mess with though)
Attached are photos of before and after install and bolt placement.
by:
Product was refurbished but sold as new.
Once again etrailer.com prefer to sponsor a YouTube channel the literally insult viewers (BTBRV) than be honest and sell new parts (as advertised)
by:
great fit, works great, strong parts, works perfect! etrailer was excellent in making sure I received the correct parts. I highly recommend etrailer, if in doubt, call them, don't try and wing it, they will set you up with the correct parts! I will use etrailer again!
by:
Torklift makes a quality product. This is easy to install. Just watch the etrailer video.

Product is working great , what is fantastic is the engineering for the fit to the vehicle and the tools they give you to fish and hold bolts where they need to be during installation. Great thought process for instruction for installation.

by:
For the 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 6 1/2 foot bed no running boards, Driver’s side bracket does not lineup. It is off by an eighth of an inch or so. Passenger side is fine.

Potentially my truck bed is not the same size or there was an issue with the piece I received. Other than that bolted together very easy to the frame.
by:
Would be 5-star if packaged properly to protect the paint from getting beat up in transport. The product itself is great and fits perfectly. Easy to install.
by:
I have been very happy with these tie-downs. They are VERY easy to install, require no drilling or modification to the hitch and hide away nicely when the inserts are removed. ~9,000 miles with our camper so far and no issues. These are on a 23 F250 PowerStroke short bed.

Yay! Thats what we want to hear! Where all did you get to go in those 9,000 miles?

by:
My brother installed these and he used air tools. The brackets fit perfectly. The instructions were thorough. They bolted right in and the only delay was the disconnect/reconnect of the e-brake cable to install the driver's side bracket (2019 RAM 3500). After all the parts were laid out, he installed all 4 brackets in an hour.
He commented many times on the weight, high quality and PERFECT FIT of these brackets. These are worth the price and made in the USA.

These are still working perfectly.

Awesome product! I purchased TorkLift camper tiedowns (both front and rear) for my 2015 Ford F-350. Installation instructions were easy to follow (pictures were a big help) and the "no drill" made it simple. Tiedowns were extremely solid as the fronts bolted to the leaf spring bracket and the rear to the factory hitch. I highly recommend this product.
by:
The best system one can buy for worry free travel. Etrailer communication has been superb.
by:
I installed the tie downs last night. I had help from my wife, they were reasonably easy to install. Everything went on just fine. No drilling or any difficulty with fit. My only difficulty was I got two bolts that had a different thread pitch than the nuts. No problem, went to the local hardware store and got what I needed. All good! I think the tie downs are made very strong. I really like them. Thanks E-trailer! Great product and great customer service. When in need of ..... I will purchase from E-Trailer again. Sincerely David C. Pennsylvania
by:
I bought this when my previous belly bar and rear tie-down bent badly when our truck slid off the road into a steep ditch and our camper nearly tipped sideways off our truck. This product is a bit better then my old set up, but I expected something much better for this very high price. It wasn't too tough to install, despite the poorly written instructions. Also, the kit did not include a bolt fisher for the 7/16 bolt. The bolt fisher supplied was for a 1/2 inch bolt. Fortunately I had the correct bolt fisher from a previous project. I am also disappointed that the tie down hole has a slot cut in it which seems would significantly weaken it. I am not optimistic that the tie-down point will not bend or break if we have a similar significant side load such as when we slid into the ditch. I will probably weld the slot in the tie-down point shut to strengthen it.

They are starting to rust significantly. That is very disappoint considering the very high cost of these. It is interesting that they dont allow pictures of the product for this update.

by:
The package arrived very quickly and intact. I have a 2020 Ford F250 SD Lariat short bed with a factory hitch. The tie-downs were really easy to install although the hitch adapter plate (see attached photo) which is supposed to attach to the end of the tie-down would not fit inside the tubing on my factory installed hitch so I installed without it and it is tight and snug

Thank you for your photo. Torklift does recommend to use the hitch adapter for the 2020 Ford F-250. The adapter does need to be turn horizontally to fit inside the hitch not vertically.

by:
They installed pretty easy. However the business end twists in the receiver when put under tension. I’m disappointed that it’s not a tight fit especially for what they cost.
by:
I received my forklift truck mounts and installed the front mounts. Not too challenging but if you watch the video of the install it makes it a little easier. When I went to install the rear mounts I discovered they weren’t the correct ones. I contacted Ryan at E-Trailer and she sent out the correct ones immediately. I received them in a couple days, installed them and all is well. Thank you for the quick service Ryan!

Somehow I plugged in all my vehicle info and the website lead me to the wrong part. I explained my situation to Paul and handled the return/new order perfectly...and within an hour I was notified that the correct part had shipped..it arrived in two days!
I have been a customer for 10 years and everything I have ordered has been a quality item, and in this case the customer service was off the charts good.

Bought these tie-downs a year ago and they have proven to be easy to use, very sturdy, and hold my Palomino to the truck bed tightly.

by:
Forklift tie downs are manufactured to exact fit to existing manufactured frame rail holes. They lined up perfectly and after 6000 miles with camper on board have stayed secure. The only downside, (this is relative to when and ware you use you camper) they will corrode when driving through snow covered roads that have been treated with sand and/or salt. I use an oil based product to protect them corroding.
by:
The TorkLift camper tie downs you delivered were easy to instal and certainly served the application intended. The best part of the purchase was the way that you followed up to make sure that I had received the order and that they fit as they were supposed too. And now a year later you have contacted me again, to ensure that I am pleased with my purchase. GREAT product, and Awesome Service.

Much appreciated

Steve Z at etrailer was sharp and very knowledgeable on the companies product. Steve was able to work with me on getting the proper camper tie downs for my 2015 Dodge Ram 1500 (Item #TLD3107). He told me when they would be arriving and they actually arrived earlier than expected. Great product, install was pretty easy, I had them installed within an hour. This is a very high quality product with heavy duty construction. They provide a secure attachment for tie downs to the truck camper. The instructions provided are adequate, but not great. I Don't normally give recommendations or endorse products, but these I am truly impressed with. Thank you so much Steve and etrailer.
by:
Tommy C recommended the TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs. The Instructions are great and very easy to follow. They supply some cool wire helpers to hold bolts in the frame for you. All went very smoothly and a very secure. I love how solid the Camper feels on the truck.
