Available Frame-Mounted Truck Camper Tie Down Kits for 2015 Ram 1500

Question:

I am looking for some stake pocket tie down like the brophy models for my 2015 ram 1500. I see on the installation pdf for this product that they do not work for pick ups newer than 2010. Do you carry or can you recommend a product to use to tie down my camper in my 2015 ram crew cab? I do not want to use a belly bar. Thank you.

We do have truck bed camper tie downs for the 2015 Ram 1500 that appear on the linked page, but these are all the frame-mount type and their fit is very specific to the truck's total configuration. These TorkLift tie down sets, such as # TLD2134 and # TLD3107 which fits the 5-1/2 foot bed without board or step underneath truck bed and with a factory installed hitch, are custom designed for your truck and allow for a more stable camper installation without loss of ground clearance. These do cost a lot more than the stake pocket type.

The reason your 2015 Ram 1500 (and other later model year pickups) can't use the Brophy # TDSF tie downs is that on these later model years the stake pockets do not have the necessary strength for use of the Brophy item. There is not a similar item from Brophy that will work on your truck.
