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.

They have always been pretty good. this last order was the best yet. ordered at about 5pm, picked and shipped out the door by 6:30. Arrived in 2 days halfway across the country with standard free shipping on some Torklift products. Impressive.
Same as the front, easy to install, good instructions and bolt feed tool included. Ties the camper to the frame of the truck instead of the rubber mounted bed or box.
These TorkLift tie downs are the best. Very strong and sturdy. I had a set on my last PU. They hold the camper in place very well. I installed these on my 2021 Silverado 2500HD
Great fit. Easy to install and awesome customer service.
Even with one set that B.O. (backorder), I still received it within a week.
Truly a reliable company.
From Quebec City, Canada
Heavy duty tie downs. Very well made. I found it impossible to get two of the star washers in place on the bolts that go through the “plate” sent with the kit. Simply not enough room. Also two lock washers were to small. I had some in the shop. This being said I was still very satisfied with fit and function.
Very easy to install I feel very secure knowing our camper is attached to the truck frame.
The TorkLift camper tie downs you delivered were easy to instal and certainly served the application intended. The best part of the purchase was the way that you followed up to make sure that I had received the order and that they fit as they were supposed too. And now a year later you have contacted me again, to ensure that I am pleased with my purchase. GREAT product, and Awesome Service.
Much appreciated
I bought these for my 2020 Silverado 2500HD, and the fit was excellent. The instructions imply that the rear exhaust hanger may need to be repositioned for installation, I did not find this to be the case. I advise any users to read and understand the instructions prior to installation, but with that in mind, installation only took a little over an hour and a half. The fit was great and the inserts fit closely, but without contacting the body panels. Very covert! A piece missed in the instructions is that you will need to remove the spare tire safety cable clipping bracket on the drivers side permanently. There is a location on the tie down bracket to clip the cable back to the truck.
Keep in mind the parameters of the application these may be different on another vehicle. Camper is a Northern lite 9-6. Vehicle Chevy 3500 LB SRW 4x4. Post install, in my opinion. I’d feel my comfortable if the ‘FastGun’ tie downs were facing opposing directions. Currently attaching to the designated anchor points all four FG’s angle from the TorkFit anchor point BACK towards the NL camper’s anchor points. This positively prevents the 3600 LB. camper from rearward movement. However FOWARD movement can and has occurred. After a necessary sudden braking event I checked my clearances and discovered that forward movement did occur. About, one inch. My NL slid far enough forward that contact was made between the vehicle and the camper. Realignment was necessary. From an Engineers perspective: the best anchorage would be achieved with the anchoring devices (FastGuns, in my case) installed in opposing directions. In the future I will be placing blocks between the camper and the front of the truck bed to eliminate any forward movement.
Great product. Easy to install and super solid to secure our truck camper. And as always, etrailer is awesome to work with. Super fast shipping and when I need to call with questions every staff person I’ve dealt with have been awesome. A true pleasure to work with.
One of the tie down arms has a hole in it from the bending process. I would like another one sent out

Thank you for your review. Customer Service will be reaching out to you within 24-48 hours.
Installed them on my 2020 GMC Sierra 3500HD. Easy to install, function well and very well built.
Pros:
1. Excellent installation process. No drilling, No welding, No hammering, and no swearing.
2. They tuck up tight; out of site (almost) when the camper is off the truck.
3. They attach to the frame. This makes for a very solid ride experience.
Cons: NONE
Shipment came on time and in good condition, Components are made of good quality steel nice welds and powder coated, no drilling necessary,
The hitch mounted easily and bolted in just like they said it would. all the hardware was included and the instructions were easy to follow. I have a camper in the bed and pull a 25 foot enclosed trailer with 2 side by sides. I have a 2 foot hitch extension so I needed a 20,000 lb hitch.
Just like the front set, very heavy duty. I did mine without lowering rear tire or exhaust pipe. Fishing the bolts through the frame is a little tricky but when finished these are not coming off. Great communication throughout the ordering/shipping process.
Very easy to install on my High Country/Silvarado. Made to fit around,spare tire carrier and exhaust. Had on in about hour and a half. The fast guns are a must,adjust once and done.Have a 5th wheel so take camper on and off alot. Great product!
Order arrived quickly
Great video instructions online
installed easily
etrailer.com is great! They assisted wife and I with ordering the correct camper tie downs and they arrived fast and ready for us to do our part. Torklift also answered some of our questions prior to ordering and installation as well - very friendly and helpful. Read through the Torklift directions a couple of times and began installation. Caution - chase all nuts and bolts with tap and die to ensure smooth and easy threading once these are in place with fish wires and so on. There were some 'catchy' threads on some bolts and without the tap and die chase they would have given us some trouble tightening them down to torque specs. 4 hours to install front and back mounting brackets on a 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 HD Duramax crew cab running boards stop at back of cab. Once installed they look great and are tucked under the box bottom for clean lines and ease of access when needed. Great product and would recommend to anyone looking for this type of setup. PS we are not 'mechanics' yet the installation was still easy - we took our time.

Super, buy them you wont regret it!
Fit perfect. Delivered as scheduled
Excellent design and product. Pretty much the only company out there with frame mounted tie downs. This is my second set I have purchased over the years. The only area for improvement is packaging. It’s 2021 and you’re wrapping powder coated steel in loose paper for shipping?? The brackets have ding marks and scratches and powder coat chips. Mix in some internal cardboard, bubble wrap or styrofoam.
Didn't ship them to me with the front tiedowns and I missed my camper delivery date.
Easy install.
Great product. Easy install. Great customer service
Order both front and back supports for my camper they only shipped one set. Billed me for both set too

You mentioned that only one set of tie downs were delivered. I checked the tracking and saw that the second set was delivered on Monday 926. I was wondering if you had any feedback about the tie downs for other shoppers?
Do you have a question about this Camper Tie-Down?
