Ready your truck to haul a camper with these sturdy tie-downs. Inserts slide into frame-mounted brackets for use and easily remove for a clean, unobtrusive look. Custom designed for your vehicle.etrailer is great. Torklift is great. Fit perfect on my 1999 Ram 2500 2wd. etrailer is my first stop for everything camper/trailer/hitch related.
Bill D - 06/02/2019Install was reasonable straightforward. We have an older 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel Quad Cab and it seems like there should be additional holes so that the inserts could be stored on the truck without sticking out. Haven't had a chance to take a ride with the camper on the truck with these, but logic says it should be considerably more stable!
First compliment is stocking Torklift products "In Stock". Second is great phone and customer service along with competitive pricing. This is not my first time buying from them and it won't be my last. It does not get any better.

Installed on my 2020 F250 Supeduty, they were easy to install. They were missing a few pieces of hardware but etrailer got the parts shipped out the next day. The front driver side plate did take a little puzzle like twisting to get around the brake lines but wasn’t really that difficult. I also purchased the rear tie downs and they are even easier to install. The front and rear took about 3 hours total to install. I only needed to buy a 32mm socket for the suspension bolt.
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
I have had both the front and rear tie downs installed on my F-250 Super duty with an Eagle cap 950 truck camper. These are the only way to go. Being attached to the frame it feels a part of the truck itself and and it is so much safer than any bed mounted tie downs. I have taken the camper off road and the stability is no problem due to being tied to the frame itself. If you want piece of mind for your camper travels, invest in these.

Steve Z at etrailer was sharp and very knowledgeable on the companies product. Steve was able to work with me on getting the proper camper tie downs for my 2015 Dodge Ram 1500 (Item #TLD2121). He told me when they would be arriving and they actually arrived earlier than expected. Great product, install was pretty easy, I had them installed within an hour. This is a very high quality product with heavy duty construction. They provide a secure attachment for tie downs to the truck camper. The instructions provided are adequate, but not great. I Don't normally give recommendations or endorse products, but these I am truly impressed with. Thank you so much Steve and etrailer.
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
TorkLift frame mounted tie downs are awesome. Just installed them today on the new Tundra and they are impressive. I have used Happijac tie downs in the past and they work and do the job. I wanted something a little beefier and TorkLift is definitely what I was looking for. Fairly straight forward install, takes a little tinkering but the fit is perfect and there is no doubt TorkLift did their homework. Great quality steel and welds look good. Great work TorkLift! Ordering from etrailer is always easy and they seem to have customer service dialed. They have better information on their site than most manufacturers.
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
I bought the TLC2220 for a low profile pop up cabover camper which I had for another Chevy 3/4 ton truck. The prior truck utilized a different attachment but was not available for my current 2012 Chevy truck. The TLC220 offers an excellent attachment point that is made out of thick well made steel and covered with a nice black powder coating. The instructions that came with the product should be thrown away. Pictures are poor, verbiage is incomplete and large gaps in the actual application. The saving grace is the video from etrailer. This is a great video. Complete, simple with no gaps and tells you exactly what the difficulties might be. This video even called out the socket sizes. Unfortunately the mate to this; the TLC 3212 rear mounts has a poor video with again gaps in application. And... again the TLC3212 written instructions is just fireplace starter material.
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
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.
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
They are easy to install and work great with the torque lift camper tie-downs. They are so strong that I use them as a step to reach things in the bed of the truck when the camper is not in the truck.

Package arrived in a timely manner. Item was packaged well with good installation instructions. Installation was easy with no modifications needed. Product is well built and seems heavy duty.
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
Fits fine on the 2020 Toyota Tundra. I would suggest one change, though. It is rather difficult stringing the bolt through with the coiled wire without losing it inside the frame before getting the nut on. Therefore, I squared the ends of the bolts, drilled a hole through the square end, and twisted the wire through the hole. This made it so I could easily pull the bolt through the hole and hold the bolt in place while sliding the nut and washer down the wire to the bolt and screwing it on it. Pretty much impossible to lose. The square end also made it easier to hold the bolt while tightening down the nut.

This was a perfect fit on my 2017 Tundra. Installation took about 30-45 min per side. The most difficult step was threading some bolts through the frame holes. They hide nice when not in use.
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
This is the 3rd set of Torklift tie downs that we have purchased for our trucks. Would never own anything else. They have a low profile when not in use, very sturdy and we are very pleased with them. Only thing is, front arms can be a bit difficult to install on the 2017 F350s due to the box frame, feeding the bolts through can be a challenge if you don't have a lift. But once it's on, it's great
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
These tie downs, as well as the TLC3215 set, were easy to install if you have some mechanical ability. They function well with our Lance truck camper and become unobtrusive when you remove the tie down extensions. It's too early to comment on corrosion resistance, but my hope is they hold up well.
Ken - 02/11/2021Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
Bought front& back frame mount tie-downs & fast guns, love this setup.Not hard to install, all holes lined up, no drilling, especially like the spring wire that helps you install the bolt in the frame rail by the fuel tank. Good job etrailer for getting me the right parts
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
Quality steel camper tie-downs custom fit perfectly for easy installation. Work great.
Dennis D - 01/09/2021Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
Great seller, great communication and shipping! I bought the TLF2007, front camper tie downs, for my 2004 Ford F350. Reasonably easy to install in about an hour by myself. The product seems well engineered and very sturdy. Everything lined up great with pre-existing frame and bed mounting rail holes.
Jim - 11/19/2020Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
Installation took roughly 1.5hrs, with drivers' side being more of a challenge. Couldn't have taken the 2 factory bed bolts out without an pneumatic impact wrench (and 18mm socket) and a needle nosed vice-grip was key in holding the front welded nut bar while treading the bolt into it. Also, note the driver' and passenger's are slightly different in angles (the instructions could be better to identify which is which, or at least each one marked as such). Looks good and solid! Very happy with the product design and the overall instructions. The corresponding D3109 (rear tie-downs) were very simple installation (~1hr), however the pneumatic impact was definitely needed to take out the 6 factory bolts.
Jeff F - 05/16/2020Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
Had these professionally installed and it took experienced techs more than two hours... Very glad I didn't attempt it on my own. After installing the truck camper, both front tie-downs settled against the underside of the truck for some reason. We slid out the end pieces and reinstalled them and then they seated properly. I've taken my 2,500 pound Northstar camper on very steep and rugged Montana roads, praying that the camper wouldn't break the tie-downs or chains. The camper did slide around even with the rubber mat installed but that's it. I did install lumber in the truck bed to prevent sliding in the future.

Deliver time was right on schedule. The 2 packages arrived undamaged. The printed instructions are a bit difficult to understand but once uou get under the truck and lay it all out, it makes perfect sense. 1 man job and very easy on my 2013 f350 SRW 8ft bed with a factory hitch. Can't wait to hook up a northern lite to these brackets and hit the road next summer.
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
Great product with a "No Drill" application. Has been providing great service for holding my Palomino Backpack truck camper in my 2018 Ram 2500. I bought these and the rear set at the same time along with the Torklift fast gun tie downs. All outstanding products.
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
Robust. Easy to install. Only issue is that when not in use the tie downs rattle due to excessive amounts of play in the mating parts. Perhaps a UHMW shim/sleeve between the male and female mating parts would alleviate the issue. I just ended up removing the male end when not in use. However doing so brings up another problem which is the female end fills up with dirt and mud. To alleviate that problem plastic plugs/caps needed to be purchased. I just install/remove the caps each time the tie downs are used.
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
The front torquelift camper mounts for my 2017 ford f150 supercab 6.5 bed required grinding resulting from interference with bed/frame mount. Lower shackle mount did not line up. Rear mounts installed with no problem.
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
This is my second set of Torklift tie downs. Like the first, these are excellent. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is the annoying quality control in the packaging. My front tie downs came with only 1 bolt fisher, not the required 3! I was able to complete the install using the bolt fisher from the set of rear tie downs. I was able to install the C bolt without the fisher. One of the lock washers was the wrong size...not a big problem for a shop install but I had to make a trip to the local hardware store before I could finish the project. Lastly I had to cut off the passenger side bed bolt in order to get a socket on the B bolt to torque it down....again, not a problem for a shop install but irritating for this 70+ guy on his back in the driveway! *Aside from all this..I love the product!
