To see if this custom-fit item will work for you please tell us what vehicle you'll use it with.
These tie-downs bolt directly to your truck’s frame using pre-existing holes, so there’s little to no drilling and no cutting required. The tight frame mount keeps your setup strong and clean, with minimal loss of ground clearance. Because the brackets sit nearly flush with the underside of your vehicle, they’re easy to live with on or off the road.
Mounted directly to the frame, these tie-downs keep your camper’s weight balanced and the center of gravity low. That means less sway and better handling even during long hauls or windy conditions. Your truck feels steady and predictable because the load sits securely on a solid foundation rather than riding high on the bed rails.
Made of steel and finished with a high-impact powder coat, these tie-downs are built for heavy use and long-term durability. The coating adds an extra layer of protection against chips, weather, and road debris so your setup stays strong season after season.
You can remove the tie-down arms when you’re not hauling a camper, leaving only low-profile brackets that are barely visible under the truck. This design keeps your vehicle looking clean without any bulky hardware hanging off the sides.
Each arm features two pin holes so you can extend it just far enough for clearance around fenders or sidewalls. The two anchor points help you line up turnbuckles (sold separately) at the right angle for a secure hold that resists shifting from multiple directions.

Jeff: Hello everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a look at the Torklift custom rear frame-mounted camper tie-downs. Now, this is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 2019 and newer RAM 1500 trucks with the six and a half foot bed without the board, or the step underneath the truck bed. And on a custom fit part like this, I always like to recommend for you to go to our website, use the fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle, and it'll show if this'll work for your application.Now, these tie-downs provide attachment points at the rear of your truck for securing your bed mounted camper to your vehicle.
Now, the front tie-downs we do sell separately on our website. Basically, one tie-down will go on the driver's side, one on the passenger side. And you'll see the two holes here on the tie-down inserts. This allows you to connect your turnbuckles from your camper to your truck, and not interfere with anything on your vehicle.Also on the shank, there's two holes on the shank of these inserts which allow for different width campers. Right now I have it for this hole.
If you pull out the pin, you can actually slide it in a little bit more and then pin it there. So, just depending on the width of your camper, you can adjust it by putting it into which hole you need. Once you get the hole lined up, you just go ahead and clip it in there. You're ready to go. Now, you will feel dramatic improvement with the vehicle handling and stability, and it's the safest way to haul a truck camper.
Prevents any vehicle sway and camper movement in all directions.Basically, you can haul your truck camper confidently by attaching your tie-downs to the strongest part of your truck, which will be the frame. And the vehicle manufacturers do recommend that a full height sliding camper body should be directly attached to the vehicle frame structure. The frame-mounted design ensures excellent handling by securing the camper to the truck's base instead of just to its bed, which will better distribute the weight to keep the setup from being too top heavy. Also helps avoid any bed or bumper damage that's common with other tie-down systems.This is a fast no-drill installation, securing your truck camper to your truck. You can maintain the value of your truck and prevent rust and bed damage by avoiding having to drill any holes into your truck bed or bumper.
Again, this is custom fit for your vehicle. Driver's side and passenger side brackets. The brackets are designed to fit tight to the truck fame, and there's no loss of any ground clearance, so it's perfect for off-road truck camping.And what's nice when you're not using these, you can just take the clip, remove the insert. And then after the inserts are removed, then these are virtually undetectable when they're not in use because they're underneath the vehicle. And then when you go to look up your camper, you can just slide it in again to the correct hole you need. Put your pin through there, clip it, and you're all ready to go. Basically, the hidden design of these brackets will return your truck to its original look when they're not being used as tie-downs.These are a nice steel construction. They have a nice black powder coat finish on them for durability. Does include everything laid out here on the table. The two rear tie-down inserts, which are the inserts are right here. The frame brackets themselves, all the necessary hardware for installation, and even a nice set of instructions that'll describe how to hook everything up. This part is made in the USA. But that should do it for the review on the Torklift custom rear frame-mounted camper tie-downs.
Ratings & Reviews
Order the kit. This is the second set I have ordered in the last few months. etrailer ships fast and makes sure you can track your shipments. Also notifies you every step of the way. I appreciate the follow through with keeping me informed at when my package will arrive. I tried to buy these direct from the manufacture but they wanted more than etrailer and I had to find back and front sets. They did not sell them in kits.
Also glad the etrailer doesn't play the game of shipping in the lower 48 states only BS, there are 50 official states ins the USA (51 if your counting Alberta)! Plus numerous US territories...
Absolutely fit like a glove on our Ram truck. Disconnecting the emg. break was a challenge only because the tension nut was rusted. Other than that install was a breeze.
Did an awesome job installing all 4. And would highly recommend to everyone who needs it done.
Second set of Torklift camper tiedown brackets I have purchased. 1999 Dodge 2500 and 2016 Ram 3500. Fit good. No drilling. I would buy again. Good product. (I am a certified ASME, AWS, API, welder and fabricator). No hype, just fact.
The camper tie downs are still working great.
I would say that the Torklift kit fit my 2024 GMC sierra pro crew cab perfectly the shipping to Canada took 5 days which I thought was fast delivery and it shipped the same day it was ordered
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!
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
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).
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!
This kit is a solid support system, very beefy. The tie down points on your camper will get ripped out before this would fail.
These things are heavy duty. Straightforward installation, just follow the instructions and videos. Fit like a glove and are rock solid. Thanks etrailer for fast shipping and Torklift for great products.
Fit perfectly on my 96 Dodge Ram 2500. I recommend this product.
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.
Great product! Fits perfect to the frame and very good quality materials. Even fit perfectly with my rock sliders.
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.
Product arrived quickly and install was simple with supplied parts, instructions and tools.
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.
This is the only way the tie downs fit is this a safe way to strap it down
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.
