These tie-downs bolt directly to your truck’s frame—the strongest part of the vehicle—to keep your camper stable and your ride comfortable. By distributing weight evenly and lowering the center of gravity, they prevent sway and keep handling predictable even on long highway runs or uneven backroads. That solid frame connection means no top-heavy feel, no shifting, and no stress on the bed or bumper.
Each bracket uses pre-existing holes in the frame for a bolt-on fit, so there’s little to no drilling and no need for cutting or permanent modifications. The tight mount sits close to the frame with minimal loss of ground clearance. It’s a straightforward DIY project with just basic tools—simple, clean, and ready for the road without extra fabrication.
Once your trip’s over, remove the tie-down arms and they practically disappear. The brackets tuck up under the truck and stay out of sight so your rig keeps its clean look. When you’re ready to load up again, just slide the arms back in place and you’re good to go.
Made of steel with a high-impact powder coat finish, these tie-downs are built to handle years of use through rain, road salt, and rough terrain. The durable coating adds an extra layer of protection against corrosion and wear, keeping your gear solid trip after trip.
Each set includes two front and two rear tie-downs plus installation hardware. The adjustable arms offer two pin holes so you can fine-tune how far they extend—perfect for clearing sidewalls or fenders while keeping turnbuckles at the right angle. Pair them with a set of turnbuckles (sold separately) to lock in your camper from multiple points for secure, balanced tension every time.

etrailer.com: Today we going to take a look at the Torklift Custom Rear Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs.Now, these are a custom-fit part. They are designed to fit the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 trucks, with either the 5-1/2 ft bed or the 6-1/2 ft bed, without the board/the step that's underneath the truck bed and with the factory installed hitch. Now, 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 is what will provide the attachment points at the rear of your truck for securing your Bed Mounted Camper to your vehicle. This will let you feel dramatic improvement with the vehicle handling and stability, and it is the safest way to haul a truck camper. Prevents any vehicle swaying, camper movement in all directions. Now this will allow you to haul your truck camper confidently by attaching your tie-downs to the strongest part of the truck, which is the frame.The vehicle manufacturer does recommend that all full heights sliding camper bodies 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 its bed, which will better distribute the weight to help keep your setup from being too top-heavy. It'll also help 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 drilling into your truck bed or bumper. As I mentioned, it is custom-fit for your vehicle.
The brackets fit tight to the truck frame, so there's no loss of any ground clearance. Perfect for any off-road truck camping.When they're not being used, you can take out these inserts and they're virtually undetectable. All this is underneath the truck, you can't even see it. The hidden design of the brackets will return it to your original look. Also, on the inserts themselves...
Basically, the inserts if you take your snapper pin out. This is the insert that goes in here. This is all mounted onto your truck bed. You can't even see it. Then this insert...
This is where your turnbuckles will attach to. If you notice on the insert, there's two holes at different lengths, and this'll allow you to connect your turnbuckles and not interfere with anything on your vehicle.So, in other words, when you go to insert this, you can either put it in the first hole and that'll let it stick out a little bit further, or you can bring it down to the second hole and that'll bring it closer to the truck. Then once you find the right position, then you just snap the pin in and it will hold it into place, and your turnbuckles will attach right to there.Now, these are driver's side and passenger side brackets. When you do put your insert on, you do want to make sure that the shorter side - this part right here - will always face the rear truck. So, this being on the driver's side, that'll face through the truck. When you mount this on the passenger side, that'll face the rear of the truck.These are steel construction. They have a nice black powder coat finish for durability. It does include everything shown here: the two rear tie-down inserts, the two frame brackets, all the necessary hardware. Now, we've bolted these together just to show what they look like when they're installed, so all that hardware comes with it. Nice set of detailed instructions on how everything's put together and how it operates. They even have a couple of stickers that you can attach to the inserts to show you passenger's rear, driver's rear, to know which inserts what. These parts are made in the U.S.A.But that should do it for the review on the Torklift Custom Rear Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs..
Ratings & Reviews
Great product! Fits perfect to the frame and very good quality materials. Even fit perfectly with my rock sliders.
Fairly easy installation. Good instructions, but it helps to watch one of the YouTube videos first. With just the receivers, you can hardly even see them, they’re tucked underneath so well. Very sturdy. I feel very confident that no matter what, these babies will hold. They’re pricy, but well worth it.
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.
Great experience. The man that took the order was very familiar with the Torklift Tie Downs and was able to answer all my questions.
I installed these on a 2019 F250 Super Duty. The most challenging step was loosening the leaf spring nuts. Once that was done, the install was a piece of cake. Tehran not in use, they are not very noticeable. They are very sturdy and hold the camper securely. Although the entire system (w/fast guns) is a bit pricey, they are well worth it!
Product arrived quickly and install was simple with supplied parts, instructions and tools.
With the exception of removing the emergency brake lines. I could have done this job of mounting the front and rear mounts in under two hours, instead of three. Excellent design and looks great!
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...
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.
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!
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Kate F is the greatest. After a misorder she immediately got the right part in transit along with a free return label for the wrong part.
Have installed 3 of the 4. Good product, built to last
