Features to know about

Stable Handling on Long Trips: Frame-Mounted Strength

When you’re logging serious miles with a camper on board, the last thing you want is sway or shifting weight. These custom frame-mounted front tie-downs anchor directly to the truck’s strongest point—the frame—to keep your setup stable. By spreading the camper’s weight evenly and lowering its center of gravity, they help your truck handle naturally, even in crosswinds or on uneven roads. That means less fatigue behind the wheel and a more comfortable, confident drive.

Clean Look When Not in Use: Removable Arms

You don’t need to give up your truck’s good looks for function. The black powder-coated steel brackets sit nearly flush beneath the body, and when the detachable arms come off, you’ll hardly notice they’re there. It’s a simple setup that disappears when you’re not hauling but is ready to go when adventure calls.

Install Without Drilling: Custom-Fit Mounts

These tie-downs bolt to pre-existing holes in the frame, so most installs require little or no drilling. That keeps your truck’s structural integrity intact and makes it easy to do a clean DIY installation with basic tools. Once bolted up, they sit tight against the frame for minimal loss of ground clearance—no hanging hardware to catch or drag off-road.

Built Tough for Real-World Travel: Powder-Coated Steel

Made from black powder-coated steel, these tie-downs stand up to road grime, salt, and rough conditions without corroding. The finish holds up through long travel seasons and harsh weather so you can count on them mile after mile. With solid welds and precise fitment, they’re built for years of reliable use.

Secure Camper Connection: Adjustable Arm Extension

Each tie-down arm features two pin holes so you can extend it just enough to clear fenders or sidewalls and line up cleanly with your camper’s anchors. This lets you dial in the best angle for your turnbuckles (sold separately) so the camper stays tight without over-tensioning. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference in how securely everything rides down the road.

The rear Torklift camper tie down instructions and install were straight forward and an easy install. However, the front Torklift camper tie down instructions and install was difficult. The instructions were not clear and the photos of the install included on the instructions were very poor quality. Additionally, the instructions said to torque the bolts but there was not sufficient room to get a torque ratchet on the bolt. In fact it was very difficult to even get two of the nuts on the bolt. Look at the attached photo and you will see that there is no way to get a torque ratchet on this nut. If you order this product expect it to be tough to install and difficult to mount it according to the specifications.

Looking good. The frame mounts arrived well packaged and in good condition.
Installation was very difficult on the 2014 f150. There are no videos covering this year of Ford. The written instructions were OK but the pictures truly are worthless, all you can see is a white stick pointing at some black object in a black picture.
Do not attempt to install these mounts by yourself on a 2014 ford f150, there isn't enough room and you don't have enough hands.
I wasted 3 hours trying to install the drivers side by myself and gave up. With my beautiful assistants help we were finally able to install the drivers side in 45 minutes. The passenger side too 45 minutes as well to install.

Once again the product looks good and arrived in great shape. Time will tell how it performs.

A year later and many miles on rough back country roads I must say these tie downs are excellent. The most the camper has moved ever was 14 inch and that was after 50 mph winds and 35 miles on what is loosely described as a road, stutter bumps, pot holes, rocks, etc.. My only regret is that I did not get these tie downs first, instead I tried other systems that failed miserably, got a dented pickup box to prove that.

The TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs were a breeze to install. We traveled over 8,000 miles and never had an issue. So easy to install and remove the ends when you use them. When removed, you can hardly see the frame mounted sections. Great product, especially when used with the Torklift FastGun turnbuckles.

Product is well engineered. It bolted up nicely. Black and white photos are not shape enough to be of much help. A drawing would be better. Accessory package was missing rectangular retainer washers. (A huge inconvenience). Company did make amends for inconvenience. This is a useful, and well designed product. I'd give it an excellent rating if instructions were a bit more detailed.

This is my second truck that I have outfitted with Torklift frame mounted tie downs from etrailer. I carry big campers on my trucks and, in recent years, the Torklift system is the best option. They have worked flawlessly for me. I’m an older guy and I was able to install them myself with the help of an impact driver and torque wrench. It all went together in a couple hours. With today’s trucks, the metal in the beds is so thin that you can’t really mount directly to it any more without the weight of the camper levering on it and damaging it. Even the bumpers today are too thin to mount the old Happijack “buttons” for rear camper mounts. These custom designed Torklift mounts bolt directly onto the truck frame without touching the bed. They have extensions that stick out from under the bed when in place. Each of the four extensions easily removes when not needed and leave a “clean” look.

The service from etrailer is always good and fast. I have bought many things from them over the years. The people who answer the phones there know their products and give reliable, friendly advice. They have always been there for me whether I had tech questions, needed installation advise or (other product) shipping damage return, etc. I give the company my full endorsement.

Thanks John, we sure appreciate that! I'm glad to hear your tie-downs are working well for you...

This is the third set, third vehicle, I have installed these camper tie-downs on. Once you are used to torklift instructions/ pictures the installation is not that hard ( even for me at 74 years old). The torklift product itself is well made and works great.

These tiedowns were great. They fit my 2023 ford f350 4wd crew cab perfectly. They bolted on using existing holes and they included wire feeders to feed the bolts through all the holes. Everything was included in the kit and installation was pretty simple. Probably took an hour or so. Directions were very good and easy to follow. They hold my camper down very securely and are adjustable for various widths. Also easy to drill different hokes for custom widths. I highly recommend this tie down for this model truck.

These tie downs are sill working as advertised. I have travelled over 20,000 mi with them in various conditions with about 10 of that time in dirt roads or 4wd roads. Nothing too crazy, but with my camper and these tied downs I am confident that the camper will remain attached and be secure. It hardly moves around at all. They are worth the money and I can still remember how easily they installedvery welll thought out design and installation!

@Mark Thanks for the input! That definitely helps to paint a picture of the durability of these things! What has been your favorite trip so far?
by:
Product came promptly, however, part of the tie-down was sticking out through the box when delivered. Stronger packaging is suggested. Everything fit well and instructions were quite handy, making much of the otherwise difficult installation easier. There was mention of possible alteration of the emergency brake cable support if it was a manual system. Extra parts were even included if needed. However, on a 2025, 5.5' F-150, nothing was said about a main exhaust support being in the way of the passenger side's installation. The tie-downs are now installed but I'm still trying to figure out how to re-install the muffler support.

Hi Jim! I can see why that would be frustrating for sure. The good news is you usually don’t have to do anything drasticmost fixes come down to slightly repositioning the exhaust system rather than fully relocating it. That can mean loosening and adjusting a bolt-on hanger, adding a small spacer, or even tweaking the hanger position just enough to create some clearance. I’ll drop this article here since it walks through a few simple ways to fix it step-by-step, but overall you’re on the right track it’s typically just a matter of giving the exhaust a little more room so nothing is rubbing or under tension. This help article is about a hitch install but it still applies here.

The front mounts installed relatively easily with no drilling or modification. Instructions were ok, i recommend doing the passenger side first, as it has no gas tank in the wayand you will get the idea of the mount and order of tightening. I had to use double washers(provided) on the replacement bed bolt provided to make it work properly. The mounts themselves are solid and well made. Roughly .120 wall tubing. I sprayed cold galvanizing paint inside the tubes to prevent corrosion. etrailer’s service and shipping were top notch and fast. Total install about 4 hours, but I work slowly and take my time.

Ric was very friendly and knowledgeable of what i needed. The tie-downs were delivered on the sane day as promised.

Very poor instruction manual...

The photos are very small with poor dark images and contrast. Also, the names of the nuts, bolts, and other items should have photos of each item with the description and name of that item in each photo.

It appears that you don't want to help the customer install it on his own.

The tie downs are well made and strong.

I will give you more feedback when I get deeper into the installation...

The camper tie down are solid and well worth the money. I installed them on my f250 to hold my camper and I just get in and go. Even in the mountain terrain.

We originally installed Happijack tiedowns in 2013 because that was the only option that the dealer offered and they did well until we unexpectedly went over a large hump in a highway road damaging the front tiedowns and the bumper! Once the damage was repaired, we decided to go with the frame mounted Torklyft tiedowns, which, although not inexpensive, are superior in my opinion to the non-frame tiedowns. Earlier this year we replaced the rear tiedowns prior to a trip to Alaska and they worked extremely well over the notoriously challenging roads thru the Yukon Territory and Alaska “highways”. Upon our return we replaced the front Happijack tiedowns with the Torklyft frame mounted tiedowns and so far are very pleased with the upgrade.

Glad to hear you are liking them, Milton! And I agree, the TorkLift tie downs are superior to the HappiJac tie downs. They are just more secure and heavier duty. At least in my opinion. And that sounds like quite the trip! Was it just a camping trip or did you do some fishing and or hunting?

Keep in mind the parameters of the application these may be different on another vehicle. Camper is a Northern lite 9-6. Vehicle Chevy 3500 LB SRW 4x4. Post install, in my opinion. I’d feel my comfortable if the ‘FastGun’ tie downs were facing opposing directions. Currently attaching to the designated anchor points all four FG’s angle from the TorkFit anchor point BACK towards the NL camper’s anchor points. This positively prevents the 3600 LB. camper from rearward movement. However FOWARD movement can and has occurred. After a necessary sudden braking event I checked my clearances and discovered that forward movement did occur. About, one inch. My NL slid far enough forward that contact was made between the vehicle and the camper. Realignment was necessary. From an Engineers perspective: the best anchorage would be achieved with the anchoring devices (FastGuns, in my case) installed in opposing directions. In the future I will be placing blocks between the camper and the front of the truck bed to eliminate any forward movement.

I reached out to the manufacturer. They advised that they think it is a combination of the Northern light camper anchor point location being situated so far back on the camper and possibly the front of the camper not being all the way against the bulkhead of the bed if it is moving forward still. Otherwise, everything looks typical of a truck camper and truck installation. If it has any room to slide forward, it will in a sudden braking situation.

Jenny thanks for your reply and diligence in reaching out to TorkFit. The NL camper does have forward bumpers for abutting the bulkhead. However when bulkhead contact is made the body of the my 21 Silverado makes contact with the fiberglass body of the camper. The pressure from a recent ‘sudden stop’ and ‘slide forward’ created enough pressure to chip paint on the truck. The bumpers make contact with the bulkhead about 10”-12” above the bed-bulkhead connection. The 90* corner at bottom, this should be the strongest area. I will install stop chocks at future loadings. I’ll also attempt to possibly install the TorkFits in a more vertical position. Thanks.

    You are correct. The difference between part # TLF2014 and part # TLF2014A is the constructions. The # TLF2014 is constructed of powder-coated steel and includes the hardware. Part # TLF2014A is made of aircraft-grade aluminum and has a powder-coated finish as well. This kit also includes the hardware and the finishing kit, part # TLA7009.

There are variations of this type of kit depending on the configuration for your pickup and they provide you a clean look when you don't have your camper in the bed.
