Features to know about
Secure Long-Distance Hauls: Frame-Mounted Stability
These custom frame-mounted tie-downs lock your camper directly to the strongest part of your truck. By anchoring to the frame instead of the bed or bumper, they spread the camper’s weight evenly and lower the center of gravity. That means less sway in high winds and a solid, planted feel on long road trips and rough backroads. Your truck handles like it should, even with a heavy camper aboard.
Install Without Drilling: Custom-Fit Tie-Downs
The brackets bolt into pre-existing holes in the frame so there’s little to no drilling or modification needed. The custom fit keeps everything tight and secure while preserving your truck’s structure. Because they mount flush to the frame, you also maintain good ground clearance, reducing the chance of scraping when driving off-road or over uneven ground.
Built to Last: Powder-Coated Steel Construction
Each tie-down is made of strong steel finished with a high-impact powder coat for extra protection. The coating holds up well against road debris, salt, and weather so you can rely on it season after season without worrying about rust or corrosion weakening the hardware.
Clean Look When Not in Use: Removable Arms
When the trip’s over, pull the arms from the frame brackets and they all but disappear under the truck. The setup stays tucked out of sight so you don’t have bulky gear hanging down when you’re driving around town or heading out without a camper.
Adjustable Fit for Safe Camper Alignment
Each tie-down arm has two anchor holes so you can fine-tune how far it extends from the truck body. That extra adjustment helps clear sidewalls, fenders, or trim and lets your turnbuckles line up at proper angles for a solid hold. Once tightened down with turnbuckles (sold separately), your camper stays put mile after mile.

Video Transcript for DIY 2011 GMC Sierra Installation for the TorkLift Tie Downs
Today on our 2011 GMC Sierra, we're going to be taking a look at and installing the TorkLift custom frame mounted camper tie downs for the rear, part number TLC3203.Here's what it looks like. As you can see, it's got a nice black powder coated finish. It fits securely up to the frame rails using factory hardware. It's got two adjustable positions. That's the all the way in, and out. That's your second position, depending on the width of your camper or your preference to how close you want your tie downs to come to your vehicle.
When you're not go to use it any more, you just pull out the pin. Underneath the vehicle you are not going to lose any ground clearance, and from the side, it's pretty much hidden except for the small part of the bottom that you'll see there. This is a complete bolt-on design, easy to install. It attaches securely to the frame instead of tying on to the side of the bumper where a lot of other manufacturers tie on their brackets. It's easy to use.Now let's go ahead and show you how to install it.
Your rear kit is going to consist of two receiver tubes and the two bent arm tie downs. Going to be your brackets and two pins. The hardware is going to be reusing the factory bumper bolt and trailer hitch parts. To begin our install, we're going to remove these two nuts. They go through the bumper.
They're on a tied-in plate on the back side, so we're just going to take the two nuts off. We're going to set these aside and reuse them to install our receiver tube. The next two inaudible 00:00:55 we're going to be removing would be this nut here and this bolt. Those are 21 millimeter. We're going to save the hardware because we're going to reuse that for installation, as well.Now we can take our receiver tube, slide it up into position, reinstall the nut and the bolt.
Now we'll take our two bolts that are tied together, that go through the bumper, flip them back up from the back side. We can put our nuts on those, and we'll snug those down. It may be necessary to take a wrench on the back side and hold it. We'll take our 18 and we can tighten down these two side ones. Now, when we're tightening up our bolts, we're going to set the torque to what it says in our instructions. Repeat the same process for the other side. That's going to do it for our look at and install of the TorkLift custom frame mounted camper tie downs for the rear on our 2011 GMC Sierra.

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.

This is the only way the tie downs fit is this a safe way to strap it down

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.

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.

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.
Lazer S.
10/14/2025
@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.

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.

This kit is a solid support system, very beefy. The tie down points on your camper will get ripped out before this would fail.

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).

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

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!

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.

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 !
