These frame-mounted tie-downs bolt directly to the truck’s frame, creating a solid connection that keeps your camper steady and your truck handling naturally. By distributing the camper’s weight evenly across the vehicle and lowering its center of gravity, they prevent sway and shifting—even on long, rough drives. That means a smoother ride with less stress on both your truck and camper.
When the trip’s over, you can remove the arms and leave only the low-profile brackets tucked up under the frame. Because the brackets sit nearly flush with the underside of the vehicle, they’re barely visible. Your truck keeps its clean look without bulky hardware hanging down or catching road grime.
These tie-downs use pre-existing holes in the frame for a bolt-on install, so there’s little to no drilling and no cutting or modifications required. The custom fit means a tight, precise mount with minimal loss of ground clearance. That makes them simple to install and easy to live with whether you’re hauling or not.
Made from black powder-coated steel, these tie-downs resist corrosion and hold up against weather and road debris. The heavy-duty build gives you confidence that your setup will stay solid trip after trip. When paired with rear tie-downs and turnbuckles (sold separately), you get a complete system designed for dependable performance over the long haul.

Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a real quick look at these torque lift custom frame mounted front camper tie downs. Now these tie downs are gonna give you the attachment points that you need at the front of the truck bed for securing a bed mounted camper. Turn buckles are required to attach your camper to these front camper tie downs and those turn buckles are sold separately, but you can find 'em here at etrailer.com. Now these are designed to fit your 2019 to 2020 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500s with an eight foot bed and no running boards or cab length only boards, and with a factory hitch.
So on custom fit parts such as these front camper tie downs, it is essential that you use our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. You simply 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'll work for you. There are gonna be some additional questions in that fit guide concerning what type of hitch that you have or what type of boards or if you have boards on your truck. So answer all those questions appropriately and our fit guide will point you in the right direction. So again, these are the front tie downs if you're looking for the rear as well, the fit guide will also give you that information.
We do also provide this in a kit where you can get both the front and the rear. Now these frame mounted tie downs, the design of them rather are going to ensure that you have excellent handling because as you probably know, 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. The brackets are going to fit tight to the frame of your truck, so there's really going to be no loss of ground clearance. These are basically gonna use pre-existing holes in the frame of your truck. So no drilling is gonna be required.
You're gonna receive the hardware that you need to get these mounted into place. And these steel tie down inserts secure to these durable steel receiver brackets and the inserts can be easily removed. Lemme give you a brief demonstration of that. So I'm just going to remove the included bale pin here and then I'm just gonna be able to easily remove the insert here. And so when you remove the insert, these are really going to be hardly noticeable at all at the bed of your truck.
You're really gonna have to look for these to see that you actually have tie downs under the bed of your truck. But these inserts, if you notice, do have two different holes here. So if your camper is a little bit wider, you're gonna use that first hole on the insert to have this tie down point stick out a little bit farther. If your camper's a little bit narrower, you can just move it into that second hole. And then, like I said, the included bale pins are gonna secure it into place. So I'm just gonna slide it into that first hole there and then replace the bale pin, just like that. And then we're secured in place just like that. Now these do feature a high impact powder coat finish. It's gonna give you protection against rust and corrosion. You're gonna receive everything that you see here on my table. You're gonna get two steel inserts, two steel brackets, the hardware, the instructions to guide you through that installation process. These do have a warranty, a lifetime warranty from torque lift, and I think that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

Hi Jim! I can see why that would be frustrating for sure. The good news is you usually don’t have to do anything drasticmost fixes come down to slightly repositioning the exhaust system rather than fully relocating it. That can mean loosening and adjusting a bolt-on hanger, adding a small spacer, or even tweaking the hanger position just enough to create some clearance. I’ll drop this article here since it walks through a few simple ways to fix it step-by-step, but overall you’re on the right track it’s typically just a matter of giving the exhaust a little more room so nothing is rubbing or under tension. This help article is about a hitch install but it still applies here.

Glad to hear you are liking them, Milton! And I agree, the TorkLift tie downs are superior to the HappiJac tie downs. They are just more secure and heavier duty. At least in my opinion. And that sounds like quite the trip! Was it just a camping trip or did you do some fishing and or hunting?

I reached out to the manufacturer. They advised that they think it is a combination of the Northern light camper anchor point location being situated so far back on the camper and possibly the front of the camper not being all the way against the bulkhead of the bed if it is moving forward still. Otherwise, everything looks typical of a truck camper and truck installation. If it has any room to slide forward, it will in a sudden braking situation.

Jenny thanks for your reply and diligence in reaching out to TorkFit. The NL camper does have forward bumpers for abutting the bulkhead. However when bulkhead contact is made the body of the my 21 Silverado makes contact with the fiberglass body of the camper. The pressure from a recent ‘sudden stop’ and ‘slide forward’ created enough pressure to chip paint on the truck. The bumpers make contact with the bulkhead about 10”-12” above the bed-bulkhead connection. The 90* corner at bottom, this should be the strongest area. I will install stop chocks at future loadings. I’ll also attempt to possibly install the TorkFits in a more vertical position. Thanks.

A year later, I just got back from camping trip. I love the easy set up of these hitches. I’m a 65 year old woman, and I can put these mounts on my truck in less than five minutes. Then, another 10 or 15 to put the chains and turn buckles on, make them tight. I usually drive about 5 miles maybe 10, go get gas, and give all the chains a shake to make sure they’re still tight. If not, spin the turnbuckles a time or Two. And off, I go. I am extremely happy with this investment. Of all the things I bought after buying the camper, this has brought me the most security and feeling of safety. Good luck, happy camping whatever you decide.

It was an easy install, and they have worked with out flaw. I would recommend torque lift products to anyone installing a pick up camper. 2018 F 250 short bed crew cab.

Couldnt ask for anything better. I am using them on a regular basis. When not in use I remove, clean and store them in my garage. No rust issues and the brackets attached to the truck are just as solid as when I first torqued them to the trucks frame. I definitely recommend them to anyone looking for proper camper tie-downs. PS: Their customer service, as always, I outstanding!

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!
