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.

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.Package arrived in a timely manner. Item was packaged well with good installation instructions. Installation was easy with no modifications needed. Product is well built and seems heavy duty.
Had these professionally installed and it took experienced techs more than two hours... Very glad I didn't attempt it on my own. After installing the truck camper, both front tie-downs settled against the underside of the truck for some reason. We slid out the end pieces and reinstalled them and then they seated properly.
I've taken my 2,500 pound Northstar camper on very steep and rugged Montana roads, praying that the camper wouldn't break the tie-downs or chains. The camper did slide around even with the rubber mat installed but that's it. I did install lumber in the truck bed to prevent sliding in the future.
I ordered Torklift tie-downs TLD2102 for the front and TLD 3109 for the rear. Shipping was fast as always from Etrailer. The installation was stressful. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars was due to confusing installation instructions. It took me and a mechanic an hour to interpret them before we just started trial fitting until we got it right. If you order these do yourself a favor and throw away the instructions.
We have had a number of occasions to load our camper and wander around using our tie down system and couldn't be happier! The camper is solid as a rock during trips doesn't move even a little. Very pleased
A good friend of mine told me about trailer.com. I ordered Torklift camper mounts on Monday, received them Wednesday in So.West Colorado. Impressive ! Thanks to Erika for her help, and I already need a couple of other items that I will order next week.
Good price. Fast delivery
Work quickly/perfectly to hold my camper down and love that they can easily be removed to make it look like they were never there!
I purchased this product from e-trailer for my camper. The product came quickly and as advertised. This is just one in a long string of products I have ordered from e-trailer that have come quickly and at a price that’s hard to beat! I always go to e-trailer first when looking for truck towing or other truck accessories. The customer service and speed of shipping really can’t be beat.
Installed easily. Instructions bang on. Took camper on 4x4 high mountain road and it performed perfectly. Great product, great service.
Fast shipping even half way across the country. Exactly what I needed. Etrailer has all the quality parts I need to make my family safe truck camping.
The Tie-Downs fitted and worked perfectly, and Josephine was delightful to work with. She was very helpful and professional.
Top of the line product. Excellent fit, finish and weld quality. Installed by myself in three hours from opening the box to "done" with the installation.
I wanted the best and I got the best. Thanks for a great product, fast delivery and follow- up after the sale.
works out great!
Install was quick and painless. Everything went together better than expected.
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.
These tiedowns were great. They fit my 2023 ford f350 4wd crew cab perfectly. They bolted on using existing holes and they included wire feeders to feed the bolts through all the holes. Everything was included in the kit and installation was pretty simple. Probably took an hour or so. Directions were very good and easy to follow. They hold my camper down very securely and are adjustable for various widths. Also easy to drill different hokes for custom widths. I highly recommend this tie down for this model truck.
Was delivered in two days as promised. Box was beat up but everything was still in it. Parts are way to tough to hurt
Pretty easy for a 73 year old guy to install.
One tip though, on the driver's side install the 1/2x5 bolt with the bolt head to the inside. Gives a little more clearance with the fuel tank. This is opposite of what the directions say.
Thanks Nick for the great service.
One side fit perfect. Other side strait out of the box had a huge booger weld on the back that made it not fit. Ground the boogers off so it would sit flush and then the bolt holes don't line up. Never mind that the website said free delivery in 3 days when I placed the order. Next morning shipping pushed another day. Then the next push another day. Ended up taking 8 days for them to arrive. When I called about it no replacement brackets available for 3 weeks.
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.

Ive been living on the road for three years now and the Torklift tiedowns are great. I would never trust the Happijac stuff for the rocky trails I often run. The chain system I opted for does become loose once in a while but thats no big deal.
