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.

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.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.
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
Chris was very helpful keep me updated on part by the way tie-down whent on fairly easy thank for all your help Chris I have been doing business with etrailer long time all been great experience every one very helpful
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.
I haven’t used these with my camper but I think I will be happy with the outcome. The install was more difficult than I hoped. The passenger front mount went on easy. I did buy a long 6 inch bolt to go all the way through the frame. I read afterwards that you can turn the washer 45 degrees to get it though the first hole in the frame. The drivers side was a huge issue. The gas tank on the 2017 super duty is against the frame so it was impossible to get a bolt through without removing the tank. The hole at the bottom was too small and didn’t line up with the top bolt. I could of drilled all the way through the fre but was afraid of puncturing the plastic gas tank. So the simplest fix was to buy a 3/8 drill and tap. I drilled a hole in the frame down low and taped it out and installed a bolt with 3/8 threads. It worked fine but I didn’t really want to drill a hole in the frame of my new truck. If I had it to do over, I would have it professionally installed and gladly paid up to 300 to not have to hassle with it. I included a pic of the bolt I drilled and taped in the frame. It wouldnt be too bad of a job if I knew from the beginning what I needed. If you are not moderately mechanical don’t even try this install yourself. The technical support number was a joke don’t waste your time. I also had to buy a 1 1/4 “wrench and 1 3/8” socket. You gotta hammer it loose with a small sledge. Or you can impact it off with a deep 1 1/4 socket. I just couldn’t find the deep socket I needed at the nearest Lowes.
Received shipment very quickly and brackets are very heavy duty and well built.
Tie down was exactly what I needed for a new 2020 F250 as etrailer match/search engines determined. Tie down was delivered as promised after notifying me that it was back-ordered.

Great product installation was a little difficult on the F super duty
Very fast delivery. Competitive prici ng
Joseph - 01/25/2021These for exactly as they should. I found the instructions very easy to follow. The most difficult part was removing the bolt in the truck's leaf spring. I had to call in a strong friend with the right tools.
I have owned multiple cabover campers and several trucks. I have put these on every truck and hauled campers with boats all over the country. They are strong and have never had any issues with them. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a solution for your cabover on your truck.
These fit great and work WAY better than trying to get the sheet metal of your truck bed to hold the camper down. The part that extends out from under the truck comes off with the removal of the clip pin. I store them with the turnbuckles when the camper is not loaded. The part that bolts to the frame is well under the bed and does not cause any problems staying on the truck full time.
Easy install after the local tire store loosened up the front leaf spring hanger bolt for me.
They work great. The set for the rear was easy to install. But the ones for the front were much more difficult since they required loosening some large factory installed bolts. I couldn't do it with the tools that I had. I had to get help.
These front brackets, along with the back brackets, have been working great all year. I wanted to install the front brackets myself but, could not loosen the leaf spring bolt as it is very tight - over 100 ft-lbs torque. So, had them installed at a trailer shop. The back brackets, however, are easy to install and, I did those with no problems.
Very strong, and secure, nicely designed and constructed. I had Happy Jack on my previous truck, and like these much better. On the F350 install, you will need a very strong impact wrench to get the spring bolt loose. A 3 foot breaker bar and a floor Jack only bent the breaker bar! I used an Earthquake 1/2" impact from Harbro Freight with about 140 P.S.I. and barely got them lose.
I ordered camper tie-downs from e-Trailer for my 2017 F250 SuperCrew and have to say that my experience was a very positive one. Since I was planning to install them myself I reviewed the guidance made available to me from e-Trailer before the delivery. I the found guidance to be very helpful and reviewing it ensured that I was well prepared to do the install. When my tie-downs were delivered the installment went very well and there were really no surprises. I found the Torklift products to be very well made and they perform as expected. Thanks e-Trailer and Torklift! Sincerely, William Blevins Stafford, VA
The camper tie downs arrived on time. Install takes more tools and skills than we anticipated as 30 and 32 mm impact sockets are needed. The instructions are not great but we got it done in a couple of hours. Had to modify a couple of washers due to clearance issues. etrailer 5 products 5 instructions 3.
