Video Transcript for TorkLift Tie Downs-TL33PR Feature Review

Jeff: Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we'll 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 2007 to 2013 Toyota Tundra trucks, all bed sizes and without the board or the step underneath the truck bed. Because it fits so many different vehicles, I do recommend for you to go to our website, use the fit guide, put in your year model vehicle and it'll show you if this will work for your application.Now, these tie-downs will provide the attachment points at the rear of your truck for securing your bed mounted camper to your vehicle. They also sell front tie-downs.

We do sell those separately on our website. Basically, one tie-down will go on the driver's side, mounts to the driver's side just like that. And then one will go on the passenger side, mounted just like that. And basically, the two holes on the tie-down inserts right here will allow you to connect your turnbuckles from your camper to your truck and not interfere with anything on your vehicle. Also, they have two holes in the shank here of the inserts and that allows for different width campers.

In other words, I have it out at the first hole, so it's extended out further. If you have a different width on your camper, you can actually slide it into the next hole. If it's a little bit narrower, put your pin through there, clip it and you're ready to go that way. It has two different ranges for different width campers.And it'll let you feel dramatic improvement with the vehicle handling and stability because it's the safest way to haul a truck camper. Prevents any vehicle sway or camper movement in all directions.

Basically, you haul your truck camper confidently by attaching these tie-downs to the strongest part of the truck, which is the frame and the vehicle manufacturer does always recommend that all full height slide in camper bodies be directly attached to the vehicle frame structure. And the reason is the frame mounted design will ensure excellent handling by securing the camper to the truck's base, instead of just to its bed. It will better distribute the weight to help keep the setup from being too top heavy. Plus, it will also help avoid any bed or bumper damage that's common with other tie-down systems.These are a fast, no-drill installation securing your camper to your truck, which will help you maintain the value of the truck, prevent any rust and bed damage by avoiding having to drill into your truck bed or bumper. And as I mentioned earlier, these are custom fit for your vehicle.

The driver's side and passenger side brackets, they fit tight to the truck frame. There's no loss of any ground clearance. They are perfect if you do any off-road truck camping.And they're virtually undetectable when they're not in use. As I showed you earlier, if you just pop your pin and clip out, then you can actually remove the inaudible 00:02:43. Also, once these inserts are removed, then these brackets are all underneath the truck, you can't even tell they're there. And then when you go to use them, just slide it in, line it up to whatever hole you need, put your pin through, clip it and then you're ready to attach your brackets to it. 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. And this part will include everything shown here, the two rear tie-down inserts, the frame brackets, all the necessary hardware to install it, nice set of detailed instructions. And these parts are made in the USA. That should do it for the review on the Torklift custom rear frame mounted camper tie-downs.
