To see if this custom-fit item will work for you please tell us what vehicle you'll use it with.
These tie-downs bolt directly to the truck’s frame, giving your camper a solid anchor point that keeps it from shifting or swaying. Because the weight is distributed evenly across the frame, your setup feels stable and handles smoothly, even on long drives or in crosswinds. With the camper’s center of gravity lowered, you avoid that top-heavy feel that can make the rig harder to control.
The brackets attach using pre-existing holes in the frame, so there’s little to no drilling and no need for extra modifications. Each set is custom-fit for a clean, tight mount that maintains ground clearance. That means you get a strong connection without cutting into your truck or compromising its structure.
The arms are made from rustproof aluminum and the receiver brackets from stainless steel, then finished with a high-impact powder coat. This combination gives you gear that stands up to road salt, rain, and years of hauling without corroding or weakening. The materials also keep the system lightweight while still tough enough for heavy use.
When the camper’s off the truck, you can pull the arms out of the receiver brackets so only a small portion remains visible underneath. The brackets sit nearly flush with the frame, preserving your truck’s clean look and keeping everything tucked out of sight until you’re ready to haul again.
Each arm has two pin holes so you can extend it as needed to clear sidewalls or fenders and line up your turnbuckles (sold separately). Two holes on the attachment plate let you fine-tune your anchor angles for the best hold, reducing movement and keeping your camper locked in tight from multiple directions.

Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a quick look at these TorkLift Talon Tie-Downs. These tie-downs are gonna be a great option for those of you who are wanting to take your truck bed camper and make sure that it's gonna be nice and secure on your truck. So these will attach directly to the frame of your truck. So that is gonna be a lot more secure than trying to tie it down to the side rails of your truck bed. Attaching it to the frame helps to better distribute the weight, so that it's gonna be very secure for you.
Now, this is just the front tube bracket. So it's gonna be either side at the front of your truck bed. You will need the rear brackets as well. Now you can find those sold separately here at etrailer.com using that part number that you see on the screen there. So you will need all four brackets.
But this system is really nice. It's a custom fit for your 2020 and newer, Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500. With the 3500 there you are gonna be limited to the single rear wheels instead of a dually. But this will work for both the Silverado and Sierra 2500 and 3500 with the six and three-quarter-foot bed. You will need to have either the Factory Hitch or the TorkLift Superhitch Magnum 30,000K Hitch, to ensure that it, everything is gonna fit properly.
If you have a different hitch, it might be using some of the holes that your tie-down system needs. So if you have either one of those kinds of hitches, this system will work great for you. This does feature these durable stainless steel receiver brackets that mount directly to the frame. So these are gonna be very durable and strong for you, give you that solid connection right there at your truck's frame, so that you know everything is gonna be very secure and sturdy. These brackets do fit right up against the frame.
So it's gonna be very snug. You're not gonna lose any ground clearance. It's not gonna hang down. So it will be a really great option for you. Then our tie-down inserts are a rustproof, aluminum. So they're gonna be very lightweight and easy to deal with. These secure to the receiver brackets. And you can see we've got two different holes here to determine the width or how far out they're gonna stick. So depending on how far out your camper sits, from the side, you can have this set out to right about 24 and a quarter of an inch out from your truck's frame. Or we can narrow that in to about 20 and a quarter of an inch. So just depending on how wide your camper is we'll determine which one you'll use there, but it's very simple to then just reinstall that pin, get that clipped in place. That's gonna give you a nice solid place to hook your tie-downs up to. Now, our brackets are a stainless steel, as I said, and our inserts are an aluminum construction. So they're gonna be rust and corrosion resistant anyway. But then we also have this powder coat finish on here that's going to add an extra layer of protection, make sure that it's gonna last for us for a long time to come. They do include all the hardware that you're gonna need to get this installed and instructions to walk you through every step of the way so that you can get everything installed properly. Very simple to do. Because these are custom brackets, you're not gonna have to do any drilling or welding. It's gonna be very simple to get it installed. And they do also include these caps. So when you remove the aluminum arms, these caps will fit over the, receiver brackets. That's going to help prevent any dirt prevent any dirt or debris from getting in there. And that's one of the really nice things about this system is that those aluminum tie-down brackets are removable. So you can just store these in the back of your truck or something. And these portions that are going to be permanently mounted to your truck bed are gonna be very inconspicuous. So you're really not gonna see them. They're gonna be kind of hidden up under your truck. So it's not gonna take away from the look of your vehicle, really not gonna notice 'em all at all. So unlike some of your other tie-down options where there's a very visible bracket mounted in place, this is gonna be very inconspicuous and it's going to look really nice on your vehicle when you're not using it. So, really great option here for those of you who are looking to maybe start camping with your truck bed camper, or maybe you're looking for an upgrade, or maybe you just got a new truck. This is gonna be a really great system. In my mind, this is probably the best option. We do have other options available here at etrailer.com. But, I really like the aluminum. I think that's gonna give you, just the flexibility, the lightweightness and, the corrosion resistance of that aluminum construction, but then also being able to remove those arms, gives you that clean finish when you're not using your camper so, I think this is gonna be a really nice system for you. It is made here in the USA. So you can trust it's made to the high quality standards that we've come to know and trust for products that are made here in the US. And it does come with a lifetime warranty. So if you we're to ever have any problems with it, you're more than welcome to reach out to us. We're always happy to work with our customers, make sure that you're getting a good quality product and having a good experience with us. So, that's gonna complete our look for today. Again, I hope this has been a helpful video for you in determining if this is gonna be the right fit for you with your truck. We do have another option that's for the eight-foot, or eight-foot long beds. So check that out here at etrailer.com if that's gonna fit better for you. But overall, like I said, really great option. I think it'll make you very happy when you're trying to go out for the weekend with your truck bed camper. So that's gonna complete our look for today. And again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching..
Ratings & Reviews
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.
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
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!
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.
My sales rep was super knowledgeable and kind. Highly recommend this company
Great service, Super easy to install and fit perfect.
2hr mounting time ,perfect match to my 2014 silverado 2500 custom 6.6 bed. Thanks
