Speaker 1: Today, we're going to be taking a look at TorkLift's line of custom frame mounted camper tie downs for the front. You want to verify here at etrailer.com using our fit guide, which ones work best for your vehicle. There are sets also available that will fit your vehicle available for the rear. These custom mounted brackets are going to provide an easy attachment point to hook up your camper.What's additionally great about those is that they have the removable ends. So when you're not using it, they'll be hidden away, and your vehicle will look like factory. The custom mounted brackets we're engineered to provide you with the best location for your tie down point to even distribute the load.
So, once they're attached, and adjusted. This'll keep your camper from being too top heavy. This'll increase the overall ride quality while you're campers attached, and the safety. It's made of a durable steel with a black powder coat finish, which'll ensure that you have a strong attachment point, and it'll be highly resistant to corrosion.When you are ready to use them, you can just slide in the attachment point. There's two points here to attach your turn buckles, and here on the shaft there are two points that will give you an adjustment inward, and outward, to specifically fit your camper.
So, you can use this hole for a wider camper, or this hole for an aero camper. Once you've got your appropriate hole, slide the pin through, and bring the latch over, and lock it in place. Then you can attach your turn buckles.Now if you need some turn buckles you can pick them up here at etrailer.com. There are many a different styles. From chain types, to quick attach lever types.
Our style is going to a be a threaded rod type that will hook to your camper, and down to our attachment point. We'll adjust it snug by turning our turn buckle here. With our passenger side done, we'll repeat that same step on our driver's side.Compared to stake pocket, our bumper mounted camper tie downs, frame mounted tie downs will provide better handling. They also mount out of sight, giving your truck a cleaner look, because the custom fit brackets secure tight against your trucks frame there is no loss of ground clearance. That completes our look at TorkLift's line of custom frame mounted camper tie downs for the front..

High quality product. TorkLift customer support is excellent. They mistakenly sent me two left inserts for the tie-downs. A quick call to customer support and they sent the correct part right out.

Not sure if the top bolt is permanent of if it's to line up mounting holes.
My 95 f250 needs a 4in bolt.simple fix,otherwise not a hard assembly.
The black finish is of good quality. The fitment was okay and went together easy enough. Directions are adequate. The “recessed” position is 2” outboard of the body. I bought these hoping for a more tucked under fit when out of use. The upper bolt supplied for the front bracket to J-bolt is too short. Barely gets on 2 threads for the install, let alone washers. I’ll have to go buy1/2”x 4” bolts for the upper. For 680 bucks, I expect a more thoughtful direct fitment and all the hardware to be appropriate for the selected installation
Received my order a day earlier than I was expecting, everything looks good so far, haven't done the install as of yet but after watching the video from your website on how to install the tie downs it looks like a no brainer, thank you for the good service.
Timothy C - 10/18/2019These are good hold downs. They were installed without a problem. Be sure to have a very sharp drill bit, as the truck frame is hard material.
I am happy with the product.
Great customer service at TorkLift. They accidentally sent me two left sides for the rear tie-down insert. A quick call to them and they sent the correct part right out.
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
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.
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
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.
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
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.
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
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!

4 stars, just cause of the written instructions. Could be clearer.
Product Review: F2016, 2012 Ford F250 extended cab 8' bed
I really like the Torklift front tiedowns. I didn't feel I had the skill to fab the front tiedowns. The rear however, are rather simple. 2 1/2" 1/4" wall square pipe slips inside the factory hitch receiver. I used 27" lengths. The factory Ford hitch receiver curves towards the rear axle. Drilled and tapped thru receiver and pipe to hold it. Happy with the quick service from etrailer.com!

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.
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
It is always a great experience shopping with you. I have never had a problem finding what I need.
David - 03/16/2022Review 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.

Torklift makes a very high quality product. Extremely strong construction.
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
So far we have only received the front tie-downs. They installed without problem. I will be glad to review the other two items when they arrive. The instructions were very good.
Rich S - 07/21/2022Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
I've been using these for a year now on my F450 with a Lance 1161 11' 11" camper. The instructions were easy to follow and installation took me about an hour. This heavy camper puts a lot of weight and stress on these frame mounted tie-downs. I should mention that I teamed these up with the back frame tie down mounts and TorkLift tie downs. Not one failure or issue this past year. We have taken this down the highway, freeway, rough dirt roads and no issues. These aren't cheap but neither is my truck or the camper. In my opinion, it is well worth the expense. Not to mention the safety of my family. I highly recommend these to anyone with a truck and camper setup.
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
I have a 2022 Ford F-250 super can. The frame mount tie downs went on great. You have to loosen leaf spring bolts to install brackets, passenger side bolt is 1 3/16 and drivers side is 1 1/4 so plan ahead. Need 3/4 drive brake bar too. Everything else was easy install. Nice strong mounts. I like them.
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
etrailer.com is the best. Great products and great customer service. I purchased these TorkLift custom frame mounted camper tie downs to be installed on my 2017 Chevrolet 3500 HD Duramax single axle short bed. Installation was easy using the great videos provided by etrailer.com.

Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
These do look to be of good quality and finish. That said, the packaging it was shipped had almost no paper to hold the items in place so the black finish had many large gouges in it. Then when installed the middle bolt snapped off inside the frame of my truck while torquing to 75lbs. I was using a torque wrench set at 75lbs. After finishing the installation I check fit and clearance. These were supposed to work with my truck configuration according to etrailer website, however they do clear the factory running boards.
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
This is not an installation for anyone lacking automotive experience. The instructions could be better in some areas. It helps to leave the bolts off the fish wire until it is in place, and back fishing helps since the hole in the top of the frame is larger than the bolt holes. After an afternoon of cussing and fussing, the finished installation is great, with excellent fit.
Ronald - 04/14/2022Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
Fast delivery. I wish etrailer did a video tutorial on this instead of only a review like every thing else I bought for my tie down install. The installation manual was not accurately depicting my truck, made it very confusing, but that TorkLift’s responsibility. All in all, I figured it out and the install was successful.
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
It fits but you have to force it into place on a 22 f350 CCLB. The top mount that ties into the bed mount sits too low on the driver and passenger side. Not quite a "exact fit" like advertised. Pictures of both the driver and passenger side added.
