These custom fit tie-downs give you the safest and most comfortable ride when hauling a camper. They mount to the frame of your pickup - no drilling required! With the arms removed, the brackets can barely be seen. Made of rustproof aluminum.
Features:
If you're looking for the best tie-downs for your camper, frame-mounted is the way to go. The frame is the most solid part of your entire vehicle, so it just makes sense to attach your camper to something that's not going to warp, bend, or twist. Even more importantly, the camper's center of gravity will sit lower and its weight will be spread across the entire bed. This avoids a top-heavy load perched on top of your bed rails that's liable to sway and get pushed around by crosswinds. The camper's not going to shift or slide around while you drive; it's going to stay put, and your truck is going to handle just like it does without a camper.
Quick Tip: If you have a plastic or spray-in bed liner, it's important that you use a rubber mat under the camper to eliminate any sliding or bouncing.
Frame-mounted tie-downs are also a great pick for preserving your truck's good looks. The brackets install on the frame, tucked nearly flush with the underside of the vehicle. Remove the arms from the brackets when you're not hauling your camper, and the brackets will be barely visible.
Completely custom to your vehicle, the tie-downs attach to exisiting holes in your frame so that there's little to no drilling and no need for any modifications. Because they're custom, you'll want to use our in-house application guide to make sure you get the exact right model. The tie-downs you need might be different depending on what type of hitch or other accessories you have.
Once the tie-downs are installed, use a set of turnbuckles (sold separately) to secure the camper to the tie-downs. The shank on each arm has 2 pin holes so you can choose how far out they extend, that way the turnbuckles can reach the anchors on your camper without making contact with your truck. Tighten the turnbuckles to the correct level of tension (not too tight!).
Make sure the anchor points are offset from the tie-downs instead of lined up with them so that they will hold your camper from multiple angles. This is important for keeping your camper from shifting. Two holes in the attachment plate of the tie-downs let you find the best angle for you camper anchors.

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com and today we're gonna take a look at these TorkLift Talon Custom Frame-Mounted Aluminum Read Camper Tie-Downs. Now these tie downs are going to provide attachment points at the rear of your truck bed for securing a bed-mounted camper. As I mentioned, these are custom fitted parts so these are going to fit your 2005 to 2010 Ford F250 and F350 Super Duty with the 6 3/4 or eight-foot beds without board or step underneath your truck bed and with a factory installed hitch. And then your 2008 to 2010 Ford F450 Super Duty with the eight-foot bed without board or step underneath your truck bed and with a factory installed hitch. To confirm that these tie downs are gonna work for you, take advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com.
Insert the year, make and model of your vehicle and our fit guide will let you know if these will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you. Also, if you are looking for front camper tie-downs, use our fit guide to find the front tie-downs that will work for your vehicle. So, the frame mounted design is going to ensure excellent handling because securing your camper to your truck's base instead of its bed is going to better distribute weight to keep your setup from being too top heavy. These brackets are going to fit tight to your truck frame so there's not gonna be any loss of ground clearance. And these rustproof, lightweight aluminum alloy tie-down inserts are going to secure to these durable stainless steel receiver brackets.
Now these inserts can be easily removed from the frame-mounted brackets with the included bale pins making the tie-downs virtually undetectable when you have them removed. So, I went ahead and removed the bale pin from this bracket here. So as you can see, that insert is going to slide right out. And I'm just going to set this aside here real quick to show you that these also include these caps here that you can use to put over the bracket just to keep dirt and grime out of that bracket. And also really gives it a nice, clean look as well.
So these vinyl caps are included along with these foam plugs that you see right here. And these are going to insert into the rear of the brackets, again to keep out dirt and grime and junk from those brackets to keep them nice and clean, so your inserts can slide easily inside of them. Now, going back to these inserts, again, these are aluminum, so they're gonna be very lightweight and you're not going to be struggling with these whether you're removing them or replacing them. And you can store these easily like in the the rear of the cab of your truck. And if you notice here we do have two different holes that the bale pin will go through.
So, if your camper is a little bit wider, you're going to use this first hole here on the insert to have the tie-down point stick out a little bit farther. And then, if your camper is a little bit narrower, you're going to move it into that second hole. So, I'm gonna go ahead and just move that into the second hole. So, this will fit on the table like I had it before and replace my bale pin and it's gonna be as simple as that. Now, these bale pins are gonna be very easy to use and it's going to secure these inserts in place for your turn buckles. And these also feature a high impact powder coat finish that's going to give you an extra layer of protection, especially to the brackets. And so, you're going to get what you see here on the table before me. You're going to get two rear tie-down inserts. Again, they're aluminum, the stainless steel frame brackets, the necessary hardware, the instructions to walk you through the installation process, and also the finishing kit that we talked about. And so, everything that you need here to successfully install these to your Ford truck. And as I mentioned, the front tie downs are sold separately. So if you we're in need of those as well, take advantage of our vehicle fit guide. These aren't made here in the USA. These do have a lifetime warranty. 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.
