Recommendation on a Trailer Hitch for a 2017 Ford F-350 Super Duty Truck With 8 foot Bed
Question:
Considering a 2017 F350, super cab, 8foot bed. Running boards will not extend under the bed, OEM hitch, no aftermarket hitch. Want to carry a 9 1/2foot Hallmark camper. Camper dealer suggests Torklift frame mount. Your site suggests you are unclear as to what will fit. 2017 frame is certainly different from 2016. So, what do you suggest?

Expert Reply:
For the 2017 Ford F-350 Super Cab, with running boards stopping behind the cab and OEM hitch, you will need part # TLF2021 for the front tie down and # TLF3008 for the rear tie down.
The tie downs are custom-fit to the truck and do not require drilling into the frame when installing.
I also recommend the Torklift Locking FastGun TurnBuckles # TLS9529-2-LK. These Torklift turnbuckles are designed to be used with the frame-mounted camper tie downs. The turnbuckle's quick release levers allow you to easily secure the camper to your vehicle.
