Because these anchors bolt to your truck's frame under the bed, you can maximize your truck's payload capacity. And they're only exposed when you need them, so no more worries about your tie-downs rusting quickly or getting in your way.
Camper shift during travel can damage your rig and ruin your ride. These anchors bolt directly to your truck's frame - the most secure mounting point - so your camper stays locked in place, even during sudden stops and crosswinds. If you've ever gripped the wheel tight, wondering if your load will hold, this is how you drive without that worry.
And because these tie-downs mount to the frame, they distribute force lower than external mounts and across the full length of your truck. This reduces sway, minimizes twisting between your camper and truck bed, and improves how your truck handles with the load. Unlike bed-mounted systems that can feel top-heavy when you're driving through the mountains of Colorado or the windy plains of Kansas, these anchors help your setup stay balanced and stable.
These anchor points aren't just for slide-in campers. You have a truck, so you're going to want to haul things like motorcycles or ATVs, firewood, hunting equipment, or home improvement supplies in the bed too. These give you a reliable anchor point to secure those things, and because they're frame-mounted, they're going to let you get the maximum capability out of your rig. When you're ready to haul, just pull the anchor up, twist, and remove the anchor cap to reveal a full 360° swivel point. This makes it easy to attach tie-downs or ratchet straps from any angle, which is perfect for odd-shaped cargo, ATVs, or gear that doesn't sit square. And if the anchor gets pushed down without the cap, you won't have to worry about fishing it back out. It comes back up easily - the cap just helps to keep debris out and gives your truck that clean look you love.
When you're not using them, the anchor points retract flush into the bed, keeping your bed clean, functional, and free of bulky tie-down hardware. You can maintain a sleek factory look for your daily driving without giving up secure anchor points when it's time to haul.
Each set is custom designed for your specific truck model and meant to replace your factory-installed, light-duty cargo anchors. This means you get a smooth, bolt-on installation with no drilling into your truck's frame. You will need to cut through your truck bed for the tie-down receiver assembly, but a drill template is included to make positioning easy and accurate.
These truck bed camper tie-downs are ideal for slide-in campers that use internal anchor points: Cirrus, Four Wheel Campers, Travel Lite, Scout and other models. Use them with Apex Turnbuckles (TL88SV) and rear Apex tie-downs (TL48SV), both sold separately, for a complete tie-down system.
These tie-downs are made from corrosion-resistant materials so you can expect them to hold up against different year-round weather conditions, road salt, and rough terrain without flaking, peeling, or premature rusting. ApexAnchors are made in the USA and backed by TorkLift's lifetime warranty so you can have confidence in your setup mile after mile.
We love seeing our neighbor's setups! Once you have this system, send us your setup pics, trail stories, and favorite campsites. Whether you're deep in the desert or parked beside a quiet lake, your adventures inspire others to build something amazing too.

Hi, everyone. Steve here with etrailer.com. Today we're looking together at our in bed frame mounted front set of Torklift ApexAnchors. Now folks, these are a camper tie down for the bed of your truck. They're a custom fit application for a 09-14 Ford F-150 short bed. So make sure you're double checking that with our fit guide here at etrailer.com to be sure you're getting the right parts the first time.
Now with this set, you're gonna have absolutely zero loss of ground clearance and they are an invisible install as far as everything is gonna be under the bed of the truck on the frame of the truck, except for these rubber plugs and this little rubber bezel here in the bed of your truck. Nice and flush. Now these again are custom fit, so make sure you're checking that fit guide. Everything here is black powder coated heavy steel, so you don't have to worry about rust or corrosion. It is all just kind of loosely bolted together by hand right now just to kind of give you a visual of kind of what these brackets and this whole setup looks like.
And again, you're gonna have one for driver's side, one for the passenger side of the vehicle. Now you're also gonna get all the hardware from mounting it. You even get a drill bit included. So yes, there is some minor drilling. Everything is pretty much made to fit the frame of the vehicle already.
So most of that drilling, I believe from what I've seen in the instructions, is gonna be matching up where that hole's gonna go and that kind of thing. Now how do you use these Well, once you got 'em bolted in place per the instructions you kind of just pull up on this rubber cap and then it's gonna be able to remove the rubber cap. And now you've got a heavy duty 2000 pound rated anchor point for a turn buckle sold separately to then attach to the internal anchor points on those in bed campers. So some options would be like the serious four wheel campers travel light and scout, just to name a few. You could also potentially anchor down motorcycles, ATVs, those kind of things in the bed of the vehicle with this as well.
So going back to this rubber cap, make sure you don't lose that whenever you're using it, whenever you got it out, make sure you put it like in a toolbox, glove box, something. Make sure you don't lose those 'cause that's how you're gonna pull up and twist on those anchor points. Now again, this is the front set. We do offer the rears sold separately as well as the required turn buckles to again anchor the camper tie down points to the bed of the vehicle. Well folks that will wrap it up for our quick look together. I'm Steven, thanks for watching.
