Features to know about

Install Without Drilling: Custom-Fit Frame Mounts

These tie-downs bolt directly to the frame using pre-existing holes, so you get a clean, solid install without cutting or drilling. Because the frame is the most rigid part of your vehicle, you get a secure anchor point that keeps weight evenly distributed and the center of gravity low. That means better handling and less sway, even when you’re carrying a heavy camper over long distances.

Stay Stable on the Road: Frame-Mounted Security

Attaching to the frame instead of the bed or bumper gives your camper the most stable ride possible. The system spreads the camper’s weight across the whole frame, so it won’t shift or bounce even when the road gets rough. With this setup, your truck handles naturally while your camper stays locked in place, making long hauls more comfortable and predictable.

Keep Your Truck Looking Clean: Low-Profile Design

When you’re not hauling a camper, remove the arms and these tie-downs practically disappear. The brackets sit tucked beneath the body, nearly flush with the underside, so there’s nothing hanging down to ruin your truck’s lines or snag on obstacles. You can keep your setup ready to go without changing how your truck looks day to day.

Built to Last: Aluminum and Stainless Steel Construction

The arms are made from rustproof aluminum, and the receiver brackets use stainless steel for strength. A high-impact powder coat adds an extra layer of protection against corrosion and wear. This combination stands up to road grime, salt, and weather so you can trust it trip after trip without worrying about rust or weakening over time.

Simple Adjustments for a Perfect Fit

Each tie-down arm includes two pin holes so you can extend it just far enough to clear fenders or sidewalls while keeping turnbuckles aligned for proper tension. Once installed, tightening your turnbuckles (sold separately) is quick and straightforward, giving your camper a solid hold from multiple angles for dependable stability wherever you go.

Video Transcript for Detailed Breakdown of the TorkLift Tie Downs-TL25DR

Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a quick look at these TorkLift Talon Custom Front Camper Tie-Downs. These tie-downs are going to provide the attachment points at the front of your truck bed to secure your truck camper's turn buckles. The rear tie-downs are sold separately but you will need all four so that you can get your camper tied down at all four corners. But these are going to be a custom fit so they are going to work with many different 2011 through 2019 GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and 3500s. Because of different hitch compatibility and running boards and that sort of thing, I would encourage you to use our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com.

You'll select your year, make and model and then we'll walk you through how to select your different packages on your vehicle to make sure that this is gonna work for you. But, it does fit a wide range of those vehicles so very likely that it will work for you. Now, these are going to be frame mounted. So the brackets are going to fit tight up against your truck frame. So you're not gonna lose any ground clearance.

And this is going to ensure excellent handling for you by securing the camper to your truck's base instead of up on the bed. It's going to better distribute the weight to help keep your setup from being too top-heavy. They do include very detailed instructions to walk you through the installation process as well as all the mounting hardware that you're going to need to get these brackets installed. These are going to be two different materials. So these arms here are going to be a corrosion resistant aluminum alloy.

These are our tie down inserts. And then we're also going to have stainless steel receiver brackets here that are going to secure to your truck frame. Both of them are going to have a high impact powder coat finish. So that's gonna add that extra layer of protection. So, 'cause it is gonna be up under your truck where it can be exposed to road salts and that sort of thing.

It's gonna be nice to have that extra layer of protection but these tie down inserts are going to slide right into the receiver brackets. When you're ready to hook up to your camper, you can see, we do have a couple different notches there to accommodate different widths of campers. So if you've got a really wide camper, you can use that notch there. If it's your camper's a little more narrow, you can use that one. You can just simply slide in, line up the hole and then pass that pin and clip through. And that's going to give you that nice, solid connection point for your turn buckles. When you're not towing or not using your camper and your truck bed, you can simply slide those arms out. On this portion, it is going to stay mounted onto your truck's frame but you can just use one of the included caps here to cover up that opening. And then you, it's virtually in, undetectable. So you won't be able to see it underneath your truck. It's not like some of the other options where you have like a tab that sticks out between your bed and your cab and kind of unsightly and takes away from the look of your truck. This is gonna be very nondescript. It's very discreet. So when you're not using it, you can tuck it away. And then when you do want to use it, just pull these arms out of storage, slide 'em in and get 'em connected and you're ready to go. So very nice system here so that it doesn't take away from the look of your truck and still gives you that nice, secure connection to your truck's frame. These are made here in the USA, so you can trust they're made to the high quality standards we've come to know and trust for products that are made here in the US. And they do come with a lifetime warranty so if you we're to have any issues with them, you're more than welcome to reach out to us here at etrailer.com. But overall, I think these are gonna be a really nice option for you because they are a custom fit. They are gonna be very easy to get installed and have that solid connection and very, very unnoticeable when they're not, you don't have those arms in. And so it's not gonna take away from the look of your truck. You do wanna make sure you're getting this set as well as the rear tie downs. Those are sold separately. You can find those here at etrailer.com as well. So make sure you're getting all four. And that completes our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching..

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.

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 !

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?

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.

Looks great! What kind of camper do you have?

by:

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.

@LazerS Thanks for the reply! The truck is currently stock, but we are getting airbags and new shocks placed on the truck tomorrow. We were told by our local 4 wheel parts the airbags will help lessen the load on the back of the truck with the weight of the camper. Hopefully they gave us the correct information. If you have other suggestions, I am open to hearing them! Thanks!

@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?
by:
1996 Ford F-250 and F-350
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 appreciate the kind words Charles! Where did you take the in-bed camper for the first trip?

by:
2011 Chevrolet Silverado
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).
by:
2021 Ford F-250 Super Duty
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
by:
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!
by:

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

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.

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.

Did an awesome job installing all 4. And would highly recommend to everyone who needs it done.

Relatively easy to install with instructions and perform well. Quick to remove and put on as well.

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.
