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.

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at these TorkLift custom frame-mounted rear camper tie-downs. Now as I mentioned, these are custom designed specifically for your 2022 and newer Toyota Tundra with a 6-1/2 foot bed and four-wheel drive. This is for the double cab without board or step underneath your truck bed and with a factory-installed hitch. On custom fit parts such as these tie-downs, I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com.
Input the year, make, and model of your vehicle and our fit guide will confirm if these will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you. Now, these tie-downs are going to give you attachment points at the rear of your Tundra for securing a bed-mounted camper to your truck. Now, these also compare with front camper tie-downs. Of course, those are sold separately, but again, you can use our vehicle fit guide to find the front tie-downs that will work for you. So the frame-mounted design is going to ensure excellent handling because you're securing your camper to your truck's base instead of its bed which will better distribute the weight to keep your setup from being too top-heavy.
These brackets are going to fit tight to your Tundra's frame, so there will be no loss of ground clearance. And these steel tie-down inserts are going to secure to the steel receiver brackets. Now, these inserts can be easily removed from the frame-mounted brackets with these included bail pins, making the tie-downs virtually undetectable when they're not in use. So I'm gonna go ahead and remove this pin here, lay it aside, and then that's going to allow me to remove this insert. And then you can take these inserts and put them in the back of the cab of your Tundra.
And then when you need them, grab them and simply slide them into your receiver bracket. I wanted to point out that these inserts do have two different holes here. Hopefully you can see those holes that I'm pointing to here. So if your camper is a little bit wider, you would use this first hole on the insert to have the tie-down point stick out a little bit farther. If your camper is a little bit narrower, you would move it to the second hole.
And again, the bail pins are going to secure it in place. So let me go ahead and slide this back into place and I'm gonna slide it into that second hole so it's not hanging off my table. And then replace the pin and we are good to go. And so you're gonna have your attachment points at the rear of your truck bed for your turnbuckles. The brackets and the inserts have a high-impact powder coat finish that's going to give you an extra layer of protection and you are going to get everything that you see here on the table before me. You're gonna get the two rear tie-down inserts, the frame brackets, the necessary hardware, a set of instructions to guide you through the installation process on your Tundra, and everything for a complete and successful install. These are made here in the USA and they do have a lifetime warranty from TorkLift. Well, that's gonna wrap up our brief look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
