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.

A Safe Ride is a Comfortable Ride

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.


Don't Ruin Your Truck's Looks

how will tork lift tie downs look on my truck

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.


Custom Fit, No-Drill Installation

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.


how to find the right tie down for my truck - custom camper tiedown

Securing Your Camper

TorkLift Tie Down Example

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!).


where to put camper tie downs

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.

  • TorkLift Tie Towns For A 2024 Ford F-350 With 8 Foot Bed
    Hi Jason! The TorkLift Tie Downs - Custom Frame Mount - Front and Rear # TL27NR is only for the 6-3/4' bed, but we do have an option that will fit your 2024 Ford F-350 with the 8' bed.

    Hello John, I have listed the different Torklift tie-downs, along with their weights, for your 2024 Ford F-350 below based on you looking at the # TL87DR.

  • Will TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs From A 2017 Ford F-250 Fit A 2023 Ford F-350
    Hi Alan, The rear tie downs between the 2017 and 2023 models should be the same but the front (cab side) will be different. Assuming your running boards don't extend under the bed on the 2023 model you'll need the following TorkLift camper tie-downs: Front: Steel # TL87CR (F2032) Aluminum # TL36CR (F2032A) Rear: Steel # TLF3008 (F3008A) Aluminum # TLF3008A (F3008A)

  • TorkLift Tie-Downs For a 2019 Ford F-350 Crew Cab Long Bed With Factory Receiver
    Of course Ray. You are going to need the Front Tie-Downs # TL87CR and Rear Tie-Downs # TLF3008. Our part numbers can get confusing as they do not always match the manufacturers part numbers. I recommend using the TorkLift FastGun Turnbuckles # TLS9529-2-LK to secure your camper to the tie-downs.

  • Will Front Tie-Downs From 2018 Ford F-150 Fit 2024 F-250
    Hi Brad; the # TLF2018 you have only fits certain models of the F-150 with the 6-1/2' bed. For a 2024 F-250 you would need the # TL77CR if you have the 6-3/4' bed or # TL87CR if you have the 8' bed.

    Hey Greg, you actually will be able to use the same Rear Tie Downs # TLF3008 for both the 2022 F-350 and the 2024 F-450.

  • Will The TorkLift Tie Downs F3008 Work With SuperTruss Hitch TLF1008-30 On A 2021 F-250
    Hey Justin, thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, no, the F3008 rear tie downs are intended to be used with the factory trailer hitch on a 2021 F-250, and will not be compatible with the TorkLift SuperHitch # TLF1008-30. For tie downs that work with the SuperHitch, you'll need the following: - TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs - Custom Frame Mount - Rear # TLR3504 Then the front tie downs are the F2032 part # TL87CR. Do you already have those? What kind of camper are you picking up?

  • Will The Camper Tie-Downs From A 2013 Ford F-350 Fit A 2023 Ford F-350
    No, due to changes over the years a 2023 Ford F-350 with an 8' bed and running boards that end at the cab or no running boards would require the TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs - Front # TL87CR and Rear # TLF3008. If you want the aluminum versions then you'd need part # TL36CR and # TLF3008A. If you're in need of new turnbuckles then I recommend the TorkLift AnchorGuard Derringer Turnbuckles for Truck Camper Tie-Downs # TLS9020.
