Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a quick look at these TorkLift Talon Custom Front Camper Tie Downs. These tie downs are going to provide the attachment points at the front of your truck bed to secure your truck's, truck camper's turn buckles. These are just the front tie downs, you'll also need the rear tie downs so that you can tie down your camper at all four corners to make sure it's gonna be nice and secure for you. These brackets are a custom fit, so they are going to work with your 2010 through 2012 RAM 2500 and 3500 with the 8' bed. You will also need either a TorkLift SuperHitch Original 20K Hitch, a TorkLift SuperHitch Magnum 30K Hitch or a factory installed hitch.
And you won't be able to use this if you do have any boards or steps under your truck bed. So if you do have a 2010 through 2012 RAM 2500 or 3500 that meets those specifications, these are going to install very easily for you. They are gonna be frame mounted. So the brackets here are going to fit tight up to the truck's frame so you're not gonna lose any ground clearance. This is going to also ensure excellent handling for you by securing the camper to your truck's base rather than onto the bed.
It's going to better distribute the weight to help to keep the setup from being too top heavy. They do include very detailed instructions for you and all the hardware, mounting brackets that you're gonna need to get these installed. And then once they're installed, your brackets here are going to stay installed on your truck's frame. And then as you can see, when you're ready to hook up your camper, you can install one of these tie down inserts into your receiver bracket. When you're not wanting to take your camper out for the weekend or for your trip, you can simply put these rubber caps over them, remove the arms, put those caps on.
And because these are going to be up by your truck's frame, they're going to be virtually indistinguishable from your truck's body. So rather than some other tie down brackets that stick out from your truck's cab and bed connection there, they're kind of unsightly, takes away from the look of your truck, you're really not gonna be able to see these. They're going to stay hidden down there underneath. And so very nice to have that capped off, out of the way when you're not wanting to take your camper out. And then when you do want to get hooked up, you just simply remove these caps.
You'll take one of the arms and just slide it in like so. You can see, we do have two holes here. And so if your camper is a little bit wider, you can use this hole. Or if it's not as wide, you can use that one there. Just slide that in, get it lined up with the hole there and then pass our pin through to hold it in place. And that's all you have to do. Then you're ready to put your turn buckles in place, get your camper tightened down. So very, very easy to use and to take off when you don't need it. And just pull out that pin, remove the arm and you can put that cap there over top of the receiver. This does have an aluminum alloy construction. So it is going to be very corrosion resistant which are gonna be nice as it's sitting there on the beneath your frame, or right next to your frame. You won't have to worry about road salts and different debris causing any issues for you. They also have a high impact powder coat finish that's gonna add some extra durability and protection for you. This 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. They also come with a lifetime warranty so if you we're to have any issues with them, you're more than welcome to reach out to us here at etrailer.com. But I really don't think you're gonna have any problems. I think you'll be very happy with the way these help to secure your camper and being able to remove those arms when you're not using it. So that completes our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching..

Review from a similar Talon Front in Camper Tie-Downs
Always a great product! Shipping packaging needs to be improved as these were received dinged up and scratched. Installed anyways as I didn't want to go through the hassle of reorder and return.
Will still continue to purchase products through etrailer, but wanted to make note.
Review from a similar Talon Front in Camper Tie-Downs
My salesperson was great, especially with the mess-up in shipping and handling. (Install instructions were not included) Of course, Torklift products are very well made BUT I did have to modify them ever so slightly, probably because my 2016 Ram was put together with a little less accuracy than was needed. Would use etrailer again.
Review from a similar Talon Front in Camper Tie-Downs
Received 2 driver side front mounts and dealer where it was being installed went the extra mile and made the change happen by calling your company. Trip stalled out b/c of incorrect parts. Product is likely great but product was incorrect when received.

Installed stable loads on my 2016 super cab, 6.5 bed length truck to haul my truck camper.
Product showed up as described.
Review from a similar Talon Front in Camper Tie-Downs
Torklift frame mounted tie downs are a great product. The rear ones are easy to install. The front require a bit more skill and an extra set of hands. It’s a bit nerve wracking thinking you might loose the bolts into the frame! I upgraded my truck from an F150 to an F250. Because the brackets aren’t transferable, I had to get a new set and install them on my F250. I was glad I had the experience with the previous brackets on the F150 because the ones for the F250 are a bit heavier and more challenging to install. But I was able to do it with an extra set of hands to hold the brackets on to the frame. The fact that I went with the same Torklift system is a testament to the product. If you can afford aluminum, they’re beautiful and light. But once everything is in place, there’s no functional difference.
etrailer has great installation videos for the F150, but not the F250. I wish they had install videos for the F250 because it’s a bit more challenging, requiring an impact driver to loosen the nut on the driver side leaf spring.
Review from a similar Talon Front in Camper Tie-Downs
The passenger side was a little confusing but the driver side went smooth, also you need a really good impact wrench for the leaf spring bolts.

Excellent product and excellent service from ETRAILER! Held up well after one year, will hold up in long run as well. Fit and finish of product is outstanding. Durable coatings, and well worth the extra money for these!
Review from a similar Talon Front in Camper Tie-Downs
I just finished installing the front tie-downs and am really happy with the results. Although the instructions directed me to remove one e-cable bracket, I removed both e-cable brackets on the driver's side to get enough slack to slide the bracket behind the e-cable. See the pictures. Instructions were easy to follow. Many thanks to big A for the extra hands, impact tool and torque wrench!

I bought the Torklift camper tie downs for my new 2017 Ram 3500 dually. I haul a Lance 850 slide in truck camper. They came today and I installed them in about 4 hours. (I work slow) I bought the Aluminum ones so I don't have to worry about any rust. They look great and like the Torklift that was on my old truck I am sure they will give me great service.

Review from a similar Talon Front in Camper Tie-Downs
About a year ago, I purchased the aluminum Talon Torklift Frame-Mounted Front and Rear Camper Tie-Downs. The install was easy taking the better part of a day including a little help from a local automotive mechanic to loosen and retorque the truck’s leaf spring bolts. The Tie-Downs have worked great since installed with no issues. I highly recommend them.
Review from a similar Talon Front in Camper Tie-Downs
It's a little tricky feeding the bolts through the frame (almost lost one, but a little tape on the bolt/spring helped), but a great product otherwise. The mounting scheme for my Chevy 2500 HD is strong and ingeniously designed. No drilling or welding. The aluminum won't rust like other tie-downs mounted to the frame. It was well worth the extra money to get the aluminum version of this product.
Review from a similar Talon Front in Camper Tie-Downs
Excellent product. Good customer service. I will always use tork lift products from now on.
etrailer is an excellent vendor as well.
I upgraded from happy jack camper tie downs. I like the aluminum talon tork lifts for their easy installation, zero corrosion liability, and unimposing appearance when not in use.
Review from a similar Talon Front in Camper Tie-Downs
I ordered Camper tie-downs for my new Ram 2500. I erroneously ordered TDL2126A for the front. They wouldn't clear the nurfs. A quick call confirmed that I would need the TDL2127A. I had to pay for the 27As up front and hope when I returned the 26As on an rmer I would receive prompt refunds. Imagine my surprise when they notified me that they received my return and the refund was on its way. These guys are super, especially Brenden C.
ps the Aluminum tie downs are great and the happy jacks awesome!

I purchased the Torklift Talon front and rear TC tie downs and love the fact they are lightweight but yet very strong. Being aluminum powder coated is great being in a salt air environment so no rusting like the steel versions do.
Review from a similar Talon Front in Camper Tie-Downs
Easiest installation available. These fit perfect and attach just as instructed. The only issue you may have to watch is that on some truck frames, mine being one of them, Ford covers one of the holes with a black sticker that states, "No Mounting Bracket". In my case, the writing on this sticker was covered by a film of road grime and I had problems even finding the hole to dry fit the bracket until I cleaned off the frame with solvent. The actually TorkLift kit fits the frame perfectly though. The passenger rear bracket is very close to the exhaust pipe so when diesel particulate filter regeneration cycle begins, it will melt the label off the bracket but does not appear the even burn the paint on it so should still be OK, just be aware when unhooking the tie down from the bracket as it could be very hot.

Paint finish was pretty banged up, but all intact regarding tie downs.
The super hitch did not arrive so I am still waiting for delivery. UPS only dropped one box.

Received part of my order but did not receive Torklift frame mounted tie downs for the front for my 2015 Ford F350 and have not heard of status! I am planning a trip and hopefully will receive them soon as I have never had this happened to me on previous orders.
Review from a similar Talon Front in Camper Tie-Downs
Great customer service and prompt delivery of orders, including tracking and email updates. Quick responses to questions. Overall great service on latest order.
Review from a similar Talon Front in Camper Tie-Downs
Very quality product. Was fairly easy to install, except for a couple holes in the frame that were evidently drilled smaller on the 2015 pickup so had to drill them out to install mounts. One decal was incorrectly placed on a rear mount. Two ties downs said were for front passenger side but only decal was wrong as one was for the rear driver side. The shipment came through quickly and am satisfied with my purchase.
