Features to know about
Secure Long Trips: Frame-Mounted Tie-Downs
When you’re hauling a slide-in camper for miles on end, you want it locked down tight. These custom frame-mounted tie-downs connect directly to the strongest part of your truck—the frame—so the camper’s weight is distributed evenly and the center of gravity stays low. That means no sway in crosswinds or shifting on rough roads, just solid handling and a stable ride no matter how far you travel.
Quick Setup Without Drilling: Bolt-On Mounts
Installing these tie-downs is simple because they use pre-existing holes in your frame. There’s little to no drilling needed, and no cutting or modification required. The brackets mount tight to the frame for minimal loss of ground clearance, so you don’t have to worry about dragging hardware on uneven terrain. Once bolted up, they’re ready to go with your choice of turnbuckles (sold separately).
Keep the Clean Look: Removable Arms
You don’t have to leave bulky hardware hanging off your truck when you’re not hauling. The tie-down arms remove easily, leaving only low-profile brackets that are tucked nearly flush beneath your vehicle. With the arms off, the system is barely noticeable, letting you keep the clean look of your truck when the camper’s off.
Strength That Lasts: Powder-Coated Steel
Built from steel and finished with a high-impact powder coat, these tie-downs are made for years of use through all kinds of weather. The strong welds and durable finish protect against rust and wear so your setup stays solid whether you’re driving through rain, snow, or salt-covered roads.
Adjustable Fit: Two Anchor Hole Options
Every camper sits a little differently, and these tie-downs make it easy to get the right fit. Each arm offers two pin holes so you can extend them just enough to clear sidewalls or fenders. Two anchor holes in the attachment plate let you fine-tune your turnbuckle angle for better hold and stability from multiple directions.

Video Transcript for Detailed Breakdown of the TorkLift Tie Downs
Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at these TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Front Camper Tie-Downs. Now as I mentioned, these are custom-fit, specifically for your 2010 to 2012 Ram 2500 and 3500, with an eight foot bed. However, you will want to use our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com to make sure that these are going to work with the current hitch that you have on your Ram. Now, these custom tie-downs are going to give you those attachment points that you need at the front of your truck bed for securing a bed-mounted camper. The rear tie-downs are sold separately.
And again, you will go through our vehicle fit guide to find the rear tie downs that will work for you. And these brackets are gonna fit tight to your Ram'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, that will better distribute the weight to keep your setup from being too top-heavy. Now, these are going to be virtually undetectable when they're not in use.
These tie-down inserts can be easily removed from the frame-mounted receiver brackets with the included bale pins here. So let me go ahead and just loosen this pin here and give you a brief demonstration of how you can remove these inserts. So I removed my pin and then remove the insert. And like I said, when you have the insert removed, you're really not going to be able to detect or see the receiver here, the receiver bracket. So you can just take these inserts once you have them removed and throw 'em in the back of your cab until you need them, and then you can slide them right back into the bracket.
If you notice we do have two holes here, and you'll use our first hole here for your camper, if it's a little bit wider. And then if your camper's a little bit narrower, you'll slide that into the second hole there. So I'm gonna slide it back to the second hole where I had it. So these will fit on the table. And then just replace my bale pin here.
And these bale pins do have a nice tension to them, so they're going to keep your insert nice and secure. Now these are made here in the U.S.A. of a powder-coated steel construction. So that powder coat's going to help resist rust and corrosion. And you're gonna receive everything that you see here on the table before me. You're gonna receive the two front tie-down inserts, the frame brackets, the necessary hardware, with a set of instructions to walk you through the installation process. And TorkLift does give a lifetime warranty on these front camper tie-downs. 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.

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?

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 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.

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.

@Clay Happy to hear the # TL86NR are working well and keeping your setup solid. Paired with the fast gun turnbuckles is about as good as it gets. What type of in bed camper do you have?

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.

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.

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...

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 !
