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.

Easy install if you have any mechanical ability at all. Love them
Exceptional help to get the right part ordered and delivered ahead of schedule and a big thanks to Clinton for his installation videos.
Thought live chat I was told the wrong ones to order. After talking to a representative on the phone they cleared it up but now I have to wait a few weeks since they are on back order.
Quick shipping, exactly what I ordered. Price was comparable or slightly lower than retailers. Have ordered from etrailer.com before and was pleased with the service, so I am a repeat customer. Have to install on my truck before I can say more.
These tie downs are very secure! I used them to secure my Lance 1020, and it was rock solidly mounted to the truck. Installation was not too bad, the directions were clear and easy to understand. I think the only special tool you need is a torque wrench. Overall I’m very pleased with them all around.

Still working great. Im very pleased with Torklift products.
Bolted right on. Had an issue with off-road clearance with the D2127 mounts because of the downward angle they take to clear the full length running boards I had installed on my truck. This resulted in damage to the mount itself (NFS roads can be kind of rough here in Wyoming) So my fix was to pull the running boards off, and order the D2126 mounts, which you will not loose any ground clearance with because they come straight out at 90° angle. Both the D2126 and D2127 mount in exactly the same spot. On the Driver's side one you may find it easier to chock your truck (My Ram 3500 is a 6spd Manual) and release the parking brakes to gain some slack in the cable that you have to work around getting the mount in position. My truck also has factory airbags, but both types of mounts can be used due to where they bolt on. So the only difference is that the D2127 angles down a little to clear running boards, and the D2126 comes straight out. And another thing on the D2127 because of the downward angle; with the Torklift springload turnbuckle you may find them a hair too short and it may require use of a quick link to have enough length to get the ends of the turnbuckle hooked...at least on my camper I did. Overall I'm please with both of these tiedown models for ease of installation, operation, and build quality. It was my own fault for damaging the original one going over a hump in the forest road that my truck didn't clear all the way.
And as to etrailer. I would definitely order from them again. I had trouble finding the D2126 on the website and called and was talking with a sells rep when I finally found them on the site. But he took my order over the phone anyway at around 1pm on Monday, got an email about three hours later saying they were shipped. Package arrived on my doorstep Wednesday. Very fast service and shipping.
Just info on my truck if you are looking for the correct front mounts to use: 2017 Ram 3500, 6sp manual, 8' bed, crew cab, 4wd, SWD, factory airbags, wheel to wheel running boards (D2127), no running boards (D2126)
Easy instal works great with our Ram 3500. Paired with torklift fastguns makes attaching camper quick and easy, and secure.
Very pleased with TorkLift Tie Downs. Easy to install, only issue was I had to ream holes that long 1/2 in bolts went through. Looks very well engineered, fit perfectly to my Ram 2500. Very well made, arrived very quickly after order. Happy camper here!!
They work well. I'm glad I went with t hem....
Fast shipping, as described. Only thing if Bailey would install the tie downs, just kidding
Love etrailer.
Fit was good and product worked perfect ly.
Fit well on my Dodge One Ton and easy to install
Ordering from etrailer was a breeze! Excellent customer service. Product shipped timely and arrived sooner than expected. Great quality, easy install and heavy duty. Can not wait to be on the road with our camper this weekend thanks to etrailer!
Great product. Good instructions. Easy install. Great fit. Nice powder coated finish.
Installation was easy and drama free, seems like a great product.
As always best customer service! Quick shipping!
These things are worth their weight in gold. Easy to install and easy to use.
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.
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.
They do exactly what you think they'd do. I actually had to swap them from one truck to another (went from an double cab to a crew cab) and TorkLift actually sent me a whole new hardware kit. The hardest part is fishing the bolt/nut setup on the driver's side as the gas can is in the way, other than that it's easy peasy.
Tommy C recommended the TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs. The Instructions are great and very easy to follow. They supply some cool wire helpers to hold bolts in the frame for you. All went very smoothly and a very secure. I love how solid the Camper feels on the truck.

1 year update: Installation was a snap. Put 15,000 miles 25 States, 20 National Parks on the campertie-downs and they have worked great. When not using they come off and are stored away in 5 minutes. Ive seen lots of different set-ups on the road and this one is by far the best and worth every penny.
