Speaker 1: Today, we're going to be taking a look at TorkLift's line of Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs. This is for the rear.You'll want to check etrailer.com's fit guide to verify which ones are going to work with your vehicle.They're also available for the front. So, you can get a matching set custom made for your application. 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 evenly distribute the load. So once they're attached and adjusted, this'll keep your camper from being too top heavy. This will increase the overall ride quality while your camper's attached and the safety.The attachment points are removable and adjustable.
There'll be two loops here where you can make your connection to your camper and there's two holes here to adjust the length of how far your attachment point sticks out.You can use either hole. So if you have very wide camper, you can use that first hole, or if your camper is tucked in nicer, you can use the second hole. The included pin will slide through the hole and keep it in place.It's made of a durable powder coated steel, so it's going to be extra strong and rigid, to keep your camper tied down nice and snug and the powder coat is going to prevent any rust and corrosion from occurring.When you're ready to hook up to your new connection point, take your turnbuckles and attach them to your camper. Now, if you need some turnbuckles, you can pick some up here on our website. You'll hook it in to your camper and you'll also hook it in down here on your new attachment point.Then, depending on your style of turnbuckle, you'll want to tighten it down.
Ours is a twist adjustment type. There are many different styles.And now with both sides in place, we'll repeat that same process in the front.Compared to Stake Pocket, or bumper-mounted camper tie-downs, frame-mounted tie-downs will provide better handling. They also mount out of sight, so they will be undetectable when not in use, giving your truck a cleaner look.Because the custom fit brackets secure tight against your trucks frame, there is no loss of ground clearance; and that completes our look at TorkLift's line of Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs for the rear.

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.The front tie down mounts did not fit my 2008 Toyota Tundra SR5 5.7 L V8.The problem is that the bump stops attached to the rear cab mount bolts are in the way. That is something that cannot be removed permanently to accomodate the tie downs. The arm that bolts higher on the frame needs to be bent at a greater angle to fit both the frame and the cab Mount bushing.The rear fit perfectly.
Easy install. A impact and a 19mm wrench made quick work of this job, overall about 10min per side with OEM hitch
Product arrived 10/17/16 as indicated. Will install item my self. Guidelines are clear therefore should be no problem. Shipping time was however longer then expected due to the fact that the item was not on shelf and needed to be ordered. This might be due to the fact that there are probably not that many request for tie-downs which fit the Toyota Tundra Trucks.
Helmut F - 10/19/2017Second purchase of these torklifts from etrailer. As always, excellent service and super fast shipping. Tie downs are for a 13 Tundra, these mount a lot easier than my Ram 2500.
Works great. Fits truck. Fast free shipping
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Rear in Camper Tie-Downs
My brother installed these and he used air tools. The brackets fit perfectly. The instructions were thorough. They bolted right in and the only delay was the disconnect/reconnect of the e-brake cable to install the driver's side bracket (2019 RAM 3500). After all the parts were laid out, he installed all 4 brackets in an hour.
He commented many times on the weight, high quality and PERFECT FIT of these brackets. These are worth the price and made in the USA.
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Rear in Camper Tie-Downs
Forklift tie downs are manufactured to exact fit to existing manufactured frame rail holes. They lined up perfectly and after 6000 miles with camper on board have stayed secure. The only downside, (this is relative to when and ware you use you camper) they will corrode when driving through snow covered roads that have been treated with sand and/or salt. I use an oil based product to protect them corroding.
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Rear in Camper Tie-Downs
I bought this when my previous belly bar and rear tie-down bent badly when our truck slid off the road into a steep ditch and our camper nearly tipped sideways off our truck. This product is a bit better then my old set up, but I expected something much better for this very high price. It wasn't too tough to install, despite the poorly written instructions. Also, the kit did not include a bolt fisher for the 7/16 bolt. The bolt fisher supplied was for a 1/2 inch bolt. Fortunately I had the correct bolt fisher from a previous project. I am also disappointed that the tie down hole has a slot cut in it which seems would significantly weaken it. I am not optimistic that the tie-down point will not bend or break if we have a similar significant side load such as when we slid into the ditch. I will probably weld the slot in the tie-down point shut to strengthen it.
Floyd D - 11/11/2021Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Rear 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 Rear in Camper Tie-Downs
Easy to install and super secure! Made my Lance 1020 feel like its part of my truck. Highly recommended for the juggernaut class truck campers. I’ll never go back to the stake pocket style or bed mount tie downs again.

Feel strong and solid with the camper but already seeing some rust in places. Wish the aluminum had been in stock.
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Rear in Camper Tie-Downs
The rear mounts were easy to mount. The only problem the package was missing 4 flat washers. I also just received the Front mounts. They were a little harder to mount by myself. Some advice is to watch the install on [video]. I ended up using a floor Jack to hold the mounts.

Easy install on a 2017 Ford F-350 Lariat w/ factory hitch.
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Rear in Camper Tie-Downs
This installation was easy. If installation is on F250, the additional notched plates must be attached to the tie-downs. This prevents rotation inside the receiver tube. A couple of ratchet extensions will be required to hold the bolt head. The finished installation is secure and looks good. The welding appearance could be better, but seems strong enough.
Ronald - 04/14/2022Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Rear in Camper Tie-Downs
The Torklift frame mounted camper tie down so far seems to be a good fit, with one exception. I have full length round tube nerf running boards, that extend past the cab. I had to remove them to make room for the tie down bracket. I even purchased the bracket that allows clearance for running boards, but round tube type boards are a totally different deal. At the end of the day it isn’t a deal breaker, I’ll just purchase cab length running boards. I gave the review 4 stars instead of 5, because I think this is a detail Torklift should had accounted for. It is very likely if my boards were flat, the brackets would had cleared.
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Rear in Camper Tie-Downs
Installed front hitch in front and rear tie-downs.
Solid as a rock and easy to install
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Rear in Camper Tie-Downs
I paired these with the front mounts and am totally pleased. Easy to install and simple to use. I would recommend these for any size camper, not just the juggernaut class ones. They keep your camper rock solid and not wallowing around like you see some of the bed-mounted brackets.
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Rear in Camper Tie-Downs
Once installed, these tie-downs make securing my TC a breeze. I leave them in between trips too because they provide an excellent step up into the bed of the truck when TC is off duty. Highly recommend!
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Rear in Camper Tie-Downs
Bought these as I needed rear tiedowns for my camper. Instructions easy to read and the tiedowns were a pretty easy install. Worked great on our 1800 mile trip last summer. Highly recommend these Torklift tiedowns.

Excellent product. Perfect fit. Super easy to install.
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Rear in Camper Tie-Downs
Easy install, very effective way to keep the camper were it's supposed to be. Just bought a new truck and ordered another set for it. As long as I have a bed mounted camper I will be using this tie down system.
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Rear in Camper Tie-Downs
I installed a TorkLift Eco Hitch on the front of my F250. It sits higher than most front hitches. I need this drop receiver to lower my motorcycle below my line of sight! VERY heavy duty!
