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.

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.
I originally ordered the incorrect rear Torklifts camper hold downs for my truck. However, I called etrailer and explained my error. They not only helped me pick the correct ones, they sent them out that day. I haven’t installed the rear TC hold downs yet. I was most impressed with the free shipping both ways with no questions asked! I was issued an RMA and the refund came quickly. Very good customer service in an age when there often isn’t any service , let alone great service. The front mounts fit perfectly!
Installed on a Curt 2 1/2 receiver just put on my F350 SD Supercab Diesel SRW 4x4. This bracket does fit this truck with the Curt receiver. I found a little oil on the drill bits and a reamer to remove the last bit of metal from the holes in the receiver helped mount the brackets.
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.
Easy to install. Good quality construction. Great customer care when I ordered the incorrect version - was well handled.
Delivery was fast. Works perfectly for our Lance slide-in camper.
looks good, easy to install and replaced the torklift tie downs used on factory hitch, now I have a 20,000 lb trailer hitch with 2,700 GTW also. and camper is secure.

Fantastic, just like they were claimed to do
Nicole at etrailer was sharp and the products - 5 stars for her
The Torklift instruction pictures are poor - look like they have been copied 100 times.
Front brackets were fairly straight forward - but had to remove a skid plate and loosen the fuel tank to install the drivers side.
Rear brackets needed to drill holes. T L should provide a drill template.
Haven’t used with the camper yet.
After reviewing my options to hold a 3500lb trailer on my truck. I decided these were the only option. They are more expensive then the other options that bolt to the body and the bumper, But much more secure.
The install was fairly easy, Customer service from etrailer was awesome. When not in use they are barely visible. Great product, worth every penny!
Thanks again
Super easy to install, I recommend using some masking tape on the hitch to mark where you want to install these.
Both the product and the service are top notch. I ordered the front and rear tie-downs for a 2006 Silverado. The easy to follow instructions made it easy to install the customized tie downs. We have been on the road several times since I installed the tie downs and all the miles I've traveled were with confidence that my camper was secure.
Oh, the other great feature is that they are removable when not in use.
Thank you etrailer!
Part of an order I made for camper tie-downs. Great product and it shipped extremely fast!
I always go to e-trailer first when looking for truck towing or other truck accessories. The customer service and speed of shipping really can’t be beat.
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.
Very happy with the tie downs ,worked really good for a secure tie down,
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.
Quick shipment, installation instructions complete and easy to follow. Exact fit for my F150.
Solid, easy to install. etrailer is the only site i even look at now.
Very fast and affordable shipping to AL ASKA!
These safety downs are easy to install, and are a huge safety bonus. The interlocking pin prepares truck for winter in a few seconds. E-trailer, in this case
Julie, answered all questions, very professional, and was a big help , Thanks
Worked perfectly! Just as advertised. Great product!
yeehoo! fast and what i wanted. Originally when I bought these via mechanic they were listed as TLR 35. Some computer systems delete extra zeros, but 3500 and 35 are the same.
They are installed on my truck and I am pleased with them and the prompt service. They also look good on my new truck. Thank you.
They perfectly and I received them really quick for no additional cost. Will definitely keep etrailer on my list for any truck or trailer needs.
Perfect fit to the truck. Easy install. Exactly what was needed.
