Custom Fit TorkLift Camper Tie Down Recommendation for a 2016 Ford F-250 Long Bed

Question

Question:

I have read that some tie-downs interfere with getting access to the fuel filling door. How do I know if this is going to happen with this product? This is in regards to a 2016 Ford F250 Crew cab 8 foot bed, factory hitch, no step.

For your 2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty without board or step underneath truck bed and with a factory installed hitch the TorkLift tie-downs part numbers # TLF2016 and # TLF3006 have been confirmed as a fit. These custom fit tie-downs are not going to interfere with fuel filling door access as they were designed for your truck to fit well and not interfere with anything.

The only way the filler door would be blocked is if the turnbuckle was blocking it which would be dependent on the camper and where it's turnbuckle attachment points are. If they are located in line with the door then it would be possible that the door would be blocked.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

I'm assuming your 2024 F-250 has the 6-3/4' bed. If that is correct, the right tie-downs are in fact the #TLF3008 and #TL77CR. TorkLift has accounted for the bed access steps on the 2024 model and confirmed these will fit your truck.

We have run into this quite a few times in the past, and the best option will be replacing the Lance 7-pin connector with a standard 7-way blade connector like the #PK12706. This will give you a standard 7-way connector to plug into the factory 7-way…

There is not a plug and play adapter for your Lance connector that we are aware of. Typically this is installed by the Lance dealer. A junction box/7-way plug kit like #HS381-9000 is an option you have to convert the camper to match the 7-way RV…

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…
