  • Front Tie-Downs
  • TorkLift
  • Frame-Mounted
  • Custom Fit

Get the safest and most comfortable ride while hauling your camper with tie-downs that mount on the frame of your pickup. Great for your truck's looks: remove the arms from the brackets and you'll hardly know that the brackets are there.

A Safe Ride is a Comfortable Ride

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.


Don't Ruin Your Truck's Looks

how will tork lift tie downs look on my truck

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.


Custom Fit, No-Drill Installation

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.


how to find the right tie down for my truck - custom camper tiedown

Securing Your Camper

TorkLift Tie Down Example

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!).


where to put camper tie downs

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.

Was an opened box and missing two 3 1/2 bolts I had to go buy. Sturdy product. Quick Delivery.

Thank you for letting us know! I will have our Customer Service teach reach out to you. We can discuss covering the cost of the bolts.

Installed on Chevy 2018 3500HD with factory nerf bars. Gnarly installation. Drivers side was difficult. There was one bolt that I couldn't access the back side because the gas tank is in the way. I was able to install these but I'd recommend professional installation. Holes in brackets do no line up well, like 3/8" off. Driver's side bracket also interferes with the park brake cable, instructions have you zip tie the park brake cable to the hose above, so when the park brake is actuated it moves the hose along with the cable. This shouldn't be done like this. Overall, poor engineering.

I have to thank you and Will who helped me on the phone and your company at etrailer you are truely a great company and had helped me get the correct parts after a parts being missed boxed knowing it wasnt not etrailers fault i will continue to use and support etrailer for all the great work thank you again



by:

Fairly easy install, received the wrong parts, but was sent correct parts right away. Customer service was great. My only complaint is the paint on all 4 brackets has either fallen off, or in the process of falling off. These should be powder coated. Because of this, they are now covered in rust, joys of living in northern New England

I'm surprised by the great quality of these mounts.

I had the mountings professionally attached to the frame. The hatches can be easily removed when not in use( and I would recommend that to keep them from being stolen). Using chains and turnbuckles, I feel very comfortable with my truck camper staying where it is.. does not rock, very solid.
It’s nice to feel secure about my camper staying firmly attached.
It was worth the investment.

I like to thank Lori with etrailer and guiding me through the process of getting , Front and rear,
Torklift Camper Tie-downs -Custom Frame Mounts. Well doing research this was the best way to go for tying down and stabilizing a camper. Torklift camper tie-downs are solid well built!
I had ordered Mounts on Monday and received them on Friday . I Had the tie-downs on my , 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 by Saturday. The whole process was awesome , real easy installation. Great help with videos and instructions on mounting tie-downs on my truck provided by etrailer. I’m going to use them on my pop-up Hallmark Camper. Thank you for all your help etrailer.



by:

The units appeared to be well made and were nicely painted. I installed them on my F150. The tools and hardware supplied were of good quality and installation was straight forward. Two people would have been great, but I was able to install both sides in a little less than an hour. The holes all line up very well. I like these better than the previous units I had on my 2013, as they do not stick out as far - so less noticeable. The extension arms come out at a very nice angle just under the body. I find these units with quality I expected and I think they will be highly functional in attaching my camper.



by:

Great product but drivers side hole F on directions is none existent on the 2023 f250. Not sure if it’s safe to use being that the passenger side has the same issue but they supply an extra bracket that utilizes another factory hole so it’s got more support. Needs to be updated for 2023 models.



by:

Significantly overpriced for what it is and on top of that it’s terrible quality!
They were installed on the truck for 2 weeks, and used once when they’ve already started to rust. Even if they were made of stainless steel it’s overpriced for what you get.
When I contacted Etrailer about a warranty they directed me to TorkLift. At first they were just going to send me a can of paint to address the rust issue. After I threatened to leave a poor, but realistic review they sent me a replacement set.
I’d say to wholeheartedly avoid this product but the problem is there aren’t other options…. And they know it…. Which allows charge whatever they want.



by:

Great product, installation took about 2 hours. Videos were helpful in explaining the sequence of install



by:

Easy install and just a great product. Install took 90 minutes for front and rear mounts.



by:

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.



by:

Perfect fit. Very strong and secure. The leaf spring bolt on my 2017 F350 could only be loosened by a local diesel mechanic. The Ford dealership and corporate repair shops wouldn’t loosen it for me due to their liability concerns. The bolts that you need to feed through with the wire leads are a bit tricky. Be sure you have something like vise grips to clam onto the bolt once it is in place before you remove the wire. You don’t want it to drop back down into the frame. You also need to hold onto the end of the bolt while you hand tighten the nut until the star washer can bite enough to keep it from spinning. Then you can crank it down with your ratchet. All in all, the instructions were very good and complete. I was able to do the installation myself with just the one trip to get the passenger side leaf spring bolt started. I look forward to many years of camping with my unit securely tied down to my truck. Thanks!



by:

The torklift tie down system is a must. I’ve had them on my GMC Denali the make loading and securing my lance camper a breeze. I just ordered a new set because I recently purchased a new ram truck and the old bracket wouldn’t fit. Not sure how it could be done with out your products.



by:

Jason was great to work with on getting the proper camper tie downs for my truck as it was a new truck and was a bit confused as to the proper application.
I had them installed within an hour. Even an armature bolt twister could do this!
I have used my camper a lot since putting these on my truck and will tell you these are THE MOST SECURE ANCHORS I have ever used on any of my trucks PERIOD!
You will not make a bad decision going with this product. I recommend these tie downs over any product available! I Don't normally give recommendations or endorse products. These I am truly impressed with.



by:

Product did not fit correctly need modifications spoke with TorkLift. They are looking into the problem. Very disappointing would not buy again.



by:

Definitely love these tie downs. I can convert my truck into a camper in less than five minutes and they securely hold the slide-in no matter the road conditions or terrain we are crossing.



by:

We previously bought a truck camper and older truck with tie downs. A year ago we decided to upgrade to a new truck which of course meant buying and installing new TorkLift tiedowns. After some hand wringing I made the appropriate purchase and took the next step of installing them. I did feel reassured that the product was set up for our specific truck. Although I do some work on the camper and all I am not a mechanic so I will say this product was a cinch to install.

  • Tork Lift Camper Tie Downs for a 2016 Chevy Silverado 3500 with Single Rear Wheels
    To determine the correct camper tie downs for your 2016 Chevy Silverado 3500 we need to know the bed length, cab style, and if the truck has a factory hitch, aftermarket hitch, Tork Lift hitch, or no hitch. All of the front options for models that have running boards are # TLC4204 and they are currently listed for Crew or Double Cabs and 8 foot beds; none for short beds. So if you have a Crew or Double Cab with an 8 foot bed then for the rear you can use # TLC3215 if you have a factory...

  • Camper Tie Down Recommendation for 2019 GMC Sierra 2500HD with Lance Camper in Bed
    Since the camper is longer than the bed of your truck you will have to go with a Torklift style of camper tie down as the Brophy tie downs can't be used with the campers longer than the truck bed. If you can get back to me with the bed length, cab style, and if you have running boards and a factory hitch I can set you up with what you'd need. Here's a link to everything in the meantime though.
