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
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.
Securing Your Camper
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.

The rear Torklift camper tie down instructions and install were straight forward and an easy install. However, the front Torklift camper tie down instructions and install was difficult. The instructions were not clear and the photos of the install included on the instructions were very poor quality. Additionally, the instructions said to torque the bolts but there was not sufficient room to get a torque ratchet on the bolt. In fact it was very difficult to even get two of the nuts on the bolt. Look at the attached photo and you will see that there is no way to get a torque ratchet on this nut. If you order this product expect it to be tough to install and difficult to mount it according to the specifications.

2014 Ford F-150
Looking good. The frame mounts arrived well packaged and in good condition.
Installation was very difficult on the 2014 f150. There are no videos covering this year of Ford. The written instructions were OK but the pictures truly are worthless, all you can see is a white stick pointing at some black object in a black picture.
Do not attempt to install these mounts by yourself on a 2014 ford f150, there isn't enough room and you don't have enough hands.
I wasted 3 hours trying to install the drivers side by myself and gave up. With my beautiful assistants help we were finally able to install the drivers side in 45 minutes. The passenger side too 45 minutes as well to install.
Once again the product looks good and arrived in great shape. Time will tell how it performs.

Product is well engineered. It bolted up nicely. Black and white photos are not shape enough to be of much help. A drawing would be better. Accessory package was missing rectangular retainer washers. (A huge inconvenience). Company did make amends for inconvenience. This is a useful, and well designed product. I'd give it an excellent rating if instructions were a bit more detailed.

The TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs were a breeze to install. We traveled over 8,000 miles and never had an issue. So easy to install and remove the ends when you use them. When removed, you can hardly see the frame mounted sections. Great product, especially when used with the Torklift FastGun turnbuckles.

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.
by: Dot07/15/2022
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.
by: Matt 03/30/2023
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.

Front and rear tie downs came in two separate boxes. Back tie down box was fine but front tie down box was broken open with one of the T bolts hanging out. Fortunately both T bolts were in the box. There have been numerous reviews about bad packaging and parts missing and beat up so I think whoever is packaging these parts should take heed and do a better job. The rear tie downs went on fine with the help of the video instructions. The front however were harder and required me to grind down the T bolts so they would fit correctly (see pictures). I also had to enlarge the elongated holes to get the bolt in. Also the order of the instructions was in my mind incorrect. I installed the angled bracket supports first and then the main brackets. My recommendation would be to post a video of the installation procedures like they did for the back tie downs. All the parts were well made except the front T bolts and I am hopeful that they will last a long time. The pricing in my mind is high but they appear to be the only game in town so it is what it is. I do recommend these as they seem very strong and well designed.

Great quality product. Arrived on time. Drivers side took a little longer because of fuel tank skid plate removal. Overall very sanitary application.
by: Chris S-01/27/2024
TLN3404 installed on 2016 Titan XD. Very sturdy product, hardware was short by (2) 1/2” flat washers, (6 shown on instructions, 4 in package)no big deal there. Install goes fast with an impact gun. 3/4”(19mm) and 17mm sockets plus a 3/4 wrench req. tip: if you have a small magnet, width of a pencil, you can easily capture the flange nuts. My driver’s side clears the 6” exhaust tip by a 1/4”, should be fine. Directions are straightforward.

Easy install and just a great product. Install took 90 minutes for front and rear mounts.

No worries about securing the camper to the truck using the Torklift tie-downs. Third camper/truck I have used these on and would not consider any other option.

I like to thank Lori with etrailer and guiding me through the process of getting , Front and rear,
Torklift Camper Tie-downs -Custom Frame Mounts. Well doing research this was the best way to go for tying down and stabilizing a camper. Torklift camper tie-downs are solid well built!
I had ordered Mounts on Monday and received them on Friday . I Had the tie-downs on my , 2019 Chevy Silverado 2500 by Saturday. The whole process was awesome , real easy installation. Great help with videos and instructions on mounting tie-downs on my truck provided by etrailer. I’m going to use them on my pop-up Hallmark Camper. Thank you for all your help etrailer.

The frame mounted front tie downs are as good as expected. They bolted on fairly easily with some fishing of bolts through existing frame holes. I have a F250 supercab/long bed with wheel to wheel running boards. Both Torklift and eTrailer websites said the tiedowns would fit with my running boards but they didn't. eTrailer did offer to pay to return the tie-downs but I chose to keep them. I was hoping for a discount on new cab length running boards for my troubles but they would only offer 5% so I skipped that and modified my existing boards myself. I'm going with 4 stars because of the confusion on the web site and a few typo's in the instructions but the tiedowns are very nice.

- Comparison Of Aluminum And Steel TorkLift Talon Custom Camper Tie-Downs For 2014 Ford F-150You are correct. The difference between part # TLF2014 and part # TLF2014A is the constructions.

These would then pair perfectly with the TorkLift Locking FastGun Turnbuckles for Frame-Mounted Tie-Downs part # TLS9529-2-LK which will be used to secure the camper to the tie-downs. This will be everything you need to secure your truck bed camper and an excellent option at that with custom brackets and locking tie-downs for security.
view full answer... - Camper Tie-Downs for a 2013 Ford F-150I personally like the TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted tie-downs like parts # TLF2014, and # TLF3005 which fit a 2013 Ford F-150 with the 6-1/2' bed and no board or step under the bed. There are variations of this type of kit depending on the configuration for your pickup and they provide you a clean look when you don't have your camper in the bed. For a more cost-effective option you can use a Brophy stake pocket mount like part # TDSF but you need to make sure that the 5-1/2" high x 1-7/8"...

To complete your setup I recommend also picking up the TorkLift AnchorGuard Derringer Turnbuckles for Truck Camper Tie-Downs # TLS9020 to make securing your in-bed camper to the tie-downs fast and simple.

A year later and many miles on rough back country roads I must say these tie downs are excellent. The most the camper has moved ever was 14 inch and that was after 50 mph winds and 35 miles on what is loosely described as a road, stutter bumps, pot holes, rocks, etc.. My only regret is that I did not get these tie downs first, instead I tried other systems that failed miserably, got a dented pickup box to prove that.
