Video Transcript for Let’s Check Out the TorkLift Tie Downs-TL42FV

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com, and today we're gonna take a look at these Torklift custom frame-mounted front camper tie downs. Now these are custom fit tie downs, and they're designed to be used on your 1999 to 2007 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty with a 6 3/4 foot bed without board or step underneath your truck bed and with a factory-installed hitch or with a non-Torklift aftermarket hitch or with a Torklift Super Hitch Magnum 30K or with a Torklift Super Hitch Original 20K. Now, on parts like these or a custom-fitted kit, I would recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. Input the year, make, and model of your vehicle and our fit guide will let you know if this will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you. So these custom tie downs are going to provide attachment points at the front of your truck bed for securing a bed-mounted camper. The rear tie downs are sold separately.

And again, you can find those using our fit guide. And these brackets are going to fit tight to your truck's frame with no loss of ground clearance. And the frame-mounted design is going to ensure excellent handling, because securing your camper to your truck's base instead of its bed is going to better distribute weight to keep your setup for being too heavy. Now these are going to be virtually undetectable when they're not in use. The tie down inserts can be easily removed from the frame-mounted receiver brackets with the included pins.

So lemme just go ahead and give you a brief demonstration of that. So I'm just gonna go ahead and remove our pin, (pin clicks) just like that. And then that's going to allow you to remove the insert and then you can just take the inserts and put 'em in the back of the cab of your truck. And as you can see, you'll have this opening here, and then when you're ready to use it, you'll just slide it back in. By the way, I wanted to point out that these inserts do have two holes on them.

So if you need to extend these a little bit wider, you're just going to use the first hole. And then if you need to bring them in for not as wide of a camper, then you're just going to use that second hole. So I'm gonna go ahead and run that to the second hole here so it'll fit on my table, reinsert the bale pin here, and it's got a nice tight tension on there. There we go, we're snapped back into place, (metal clanking) and we are good to go. Now these are made here in the USA of powder coated steel, (metal clanking) and you are going to receive everything that you see here on my table before me.

You're going to receive the two front tie down inserts, the two frame brackets, and all of the necessary hardware that I've laid out here for you is included, along with a set of instructions to walk you through the installation process. And this does have a lifetime warranty from Torklift. Well, that's gonna conclude our brief look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
