Get the safest and most comfortable ride while hauling your camper with tie-downs that mount on the frame of your pickup. Great for your truck's looks: remove the arms from the brackets and you'll hardly know that the brackets are there.
Features:
If you're looking for the best tie-downs for your camper, frame-mounted is the way to go. The frame is the most solid part of your entire vehicle, so it just makes sense to attach your camper to something that's not going to warp, bend, or twist. Even more importantly, the camper's center of gravity will sit lower and its weight will be spread across the entire bed. This avoids a top-heavy load perched on top of your bed rails that's liable to sway and get pushed around by crosswinds. The camper's not going to shift or slide around while you drive; it's going to stay put, and your truck is going to handle just like it does without a camper.
Quick Tip: If you have a plastic or spray-in bed liner, it's important that you use a rubber mat under the camper to eliminate any sliding or bouncing.
Frame-mounted tie-downs are also a great pick for preserving your truck's good looks. The brackets install on the frame, tucked nearly flush with the underside of the vehicle. Remove the arms from the brackets when you're not hauling your camper, and the brackets will be barely visible.
Completely custom to your vehicle, the tie-downs attach to exisiting holes in your frame so that there's little to no drilling and no need for any modifications. Because they're custom, you'll want to use our in-house application guide to make sure you get the exact right model. The tie-downs you need might be different depending on what type of hitch or other accessories you have.
Once the tie-downs are installed, use a set of turnbuckles (sold separately) to secure the camper to the tie-downs. The shank on each arm has 2 pin holes so you can choose how far out they extend, that way the turnbuckles can reach the anchors on your camper without making contact with your truck. Tighten the turnbuckles to the correct level of tension (not too tight!).
Make sure the anchor points are offset from the tie-downs instead of lined up with them so that they will hold your camper from multiple angles. This is important for keeping your camper from shifting. Two holes in the attachment plate of the tie-downs let you find the best angle for you camper anchors.

Today on our 2011 GMC Sierra, we're going to be taking a look at and installing the TorkLift custom frame mounted camper tie downs for the rear, part number TLC3203.Here's what it looks like. As you can see, it's got a nice black powder coated finish. It fits securely up to the frame rails using factory hardware. It's got two adjustable positions. That's the all the way in, and out. That's your second position, depending on the width of your camper or your preference to how close you want your tie downs to come to your vehicle.
When you're not go to use it any more, you just pull out the pin. Underneath the vehicle you are not going to lose any ground clearance, and from the side, it's pretty much hidden except for the small part of the bottom that you'll see there. This is a complete bolt-on design, easy to install. It attaches securely to the frame instead of tying on to the side of the bumper where a lot of other manufacturers tie on their brackets. It's easy to use.Now let's go ahead and show you how to install it.
Your rear kit is going to consist of two receiver tubes and the two bent arm tie downs. Going to be your brackets and two pins. The hardware is going to be reusing the factory bumper bolt and trailer hitch parts. To begin our install, we're going to remove these two nuts. They go through the bumper.
They're on a tied-in plate on the back side, so we're just going to take the two nuts off. We're going to set these aside and reuse them to install our receiver tube. The next two inaudible 00:00:55 we're going to be removing would be this nut here and this bolt. Those are 21 millimeter. We're going to save the hardware because we're going to reuse that for installation, as well.Now we can take our receiver tube, slide it up into position, reinstall the nut and the bolt.
Now we'll take our two bolts that are tied together, that go through the bumper, flip them back up from the back side. We can put our nuts on those, and we'll snug those down. It may be necessary to take a wrench on the back side and hold it. We'll take our 18 and we can tighten down these two side ones. Now, when we're tightening up our bolts, we're going to set the torque to what it says in our instructions. Repeat the same process for the other side. That's going to do it for our look at and install of the TorkLift custom frame mounted camper tie downs for the rear on our 2011 GMC Sierra.

I was very impressed with the way that my forklifts tie downs went on. They fit perfectly just like they were advertised. They also work the way they were advertised, I am very satisfied and happy with them all the way around.
Great product
Etrailer was awesome as always, efficient, helpful and so fast on the whole process. Ordered rear mounts for my lance slide in camper!, and they were delivered in just two days! Did I say awesome!!!
Very sturdy build nice coating on the o utside
Great product. I had to do sum cutting and welding, not because of the product though. I was pulling out a tree and bent a lot an the back of my truck, so LOL.
The units appeared to be well made and were nicely painted. I installed them on my F150. The tools and hardware supplied were of good quality and installation was straight forward. Two people would have been great, but I was able to install both sides in a little less than an hour. The holes all line up very well. I like these better than the previous units I had on my 2013, as they do not stick out as far - so less noticeable. The extension arms come out at a very nice angle just under the body. I find these units with quality I expected and I think they will be highly functional in attaching my camper.
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.
They do exactly what you think they'd do. I actually had to swap them from one truck to another (went from an double cab to a crew cab) and TorkLift actually sent me a whole new hardware kit. The hardest part is fishing the bolt/nut setup on the driver's side as the gas can is in the way, other than that it's easy peasy.
A little tougher to install than the front ones but not too bad. Torklift tie downs are very well made, tried he bumper attached one but I guess bumpers aren't what they used to be I saw bending at the tie down after one trip. So bought these. Entrailer as usual priced well and fast shipping.
Tommy C recommended the TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs. The Instructions are great and very easy to follow. They supply some cool wire helpers to hold bolts in the frame for you. All went very smoothly and a very secure. I love how solid the Camper feels on the truck.

Got the tie-downs today. Shipped quickly. There is an extrusion ridge on the inside of the square tubing my hitch was made from. I had to file that out. Once done, everything slipped together like an Erector-Set project. Whole thing took 20 minutes. Very pleased.
The package arrived very quickly and intact. I have a 2020 Ford F250 SD Lariat short bed with a factory hitch. The tie-downs were really easy to install although the hitch adapter plate (see attached photo) which is supposed to attach to the end of the tie-down would not fit inside the tubing on my factory installed hitch so I installed without it and it is tight and snug
TLN3404 installed on 2016 Titan XD. Very sturdy product, hardware was short by (2) 1/2” flat washers, (6 shown on instructions, 4 in package)no big deal there. Install goes fast with an impact gun. 3/4”(19mm) and 17mm sockets plus a 3/4 wrench req. tip: if you have a small magnet, width of a pencil, you can easily capture the flange nuts. My driver’s side clears the 6” exhaust tip by a 1/4”, should be fine. Directions are straightforward.
Easy to install. Took less than an hour with no helper. They are very sturdy and I expect them to last.
2020 RAM 3500 with OEM hitch.
Great quality product. Arrived on time. Drivers side took a little longer because of fuel tank skid plate removal. Overall very sanitary application.
I like to thank Lori with etrailer and guiding me through the process of getting , Front and rear,
Torklift Camper Tie-downs -Custom Frame Mounts. Well doing research this was the best way to go for tying down and stabilizing a camper. Torklift camper tie-downs are solid well built!
I had ordered Mounts on Monday and received them on Friday . I Had the tie-downs on my , 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 by Saturday. The whole process was awesome , real easy installation.

Easy install and just a great product. Install took 90 minutes for front and rear mounts.
The TorkLift Products need no review here, so my review is more in regard to etrailer's customer service...
I was in a hurry getting my rig set up for our new camper that was due to land at the dealer very soon.
So I purchased a complete set of TorkLift Tiedown mounts, both Front a Rear for my vehicle, along with a 4-pack of FastGun Turnbuckles.
The order was on hold due to the rear Torklifts on B/O and waiting for a production run to complete.
I spoke with Teresa in sales, and she had no problem splitting up the order and shipping what was in stock, right away.
She also issued a refund on the rear mounts that were on Backorder without any issues....Thank you Teresa!
The Expediting was quick and flawless as well.
Thank you etrailer team!
