Hello Bob, thanks for reaching out. According to TorkLift, their front tie downs for the 2024 Ford F450 will not fit models with the factory retractable steps. The steps would have to be removed in order to install frame mounted tie downs. Otherwise the only camper tie down option would be bed mounted tie downs like the Brophy # HSWB.

Thank you for your response. I would much rather attach to the frame instead of the bed, especially with the Arctic Fox 1150, a 4500 pound camper. Do you know if there might be a chance I could simply use the step extension "disable feature" of the truck to keep the step in the up or down position or does the motor armature or step mount itself interfere with the front torque tie down, therefore requiring complete removal of the up and down step of the 2024 platinum F450? Thanks again for your thoughts.

@BobC To my knowledge, the step itself is what interferes with the mounts, and the factory steps would have to be completely removed. This is not something we have physically tested here at our shop though. It may be worth reaching out directly to TorkLift to see if they are aware of any workarounds.
