Recommended Truck Bed Camper Tie-Downs and Turnbuckles for 2020 Ford F-250

Question

Question:

I just bought a used pickup camper with a new set of 4 Brophy tie downs. My truck is a Ford F250 Super Duty, and the tiedowns I got don’t fit. What do you have for camper tie downs that work with my truck?

As you've found, unfortunately none of CR Brophy's tie downs are compatible with your truck, but we do offer tie-down fits from TorkLift. The correct tie-downs will depend on how your truck is equipped and will depend on the bed length, if the truck has wheel to wheel running boards or side steps that extend PAST the cab and under the truck bed and whether or not the truck has a rear hitch and who manufactured it.

So (deep breath) here are the various fits for the above mentioned possible truck configurations:

• If you have a 6-3/4 Foot Bed - with board or step underneath truck bed and with a factory installed hitch,
use # TLF2022 for the front and # TLF3008 for the rear tie-downs.

• For a 6-3/4 Foot Bed - with board or step underneath truck bed and with a non-Torklift aftermarket hitch,
use # TLF2022 up front and # TLR3500 in the rear.

• For a 6-3/4 Foot Bed - with board or step underneath truck bed and with a Torklift SuperHitch Magnum 30k
hitch, use # TLF2022 up front and # TLR3504 in the rear.

• 6-3/4 Foot Bed - without board or step underneath truck bed and with a factory installed hitch, use
# TLF2022 up front and # TLF3008 for the rear.

• 6-3/4 Foot Bed - without board or step underneath truck bed and with a non-Torklift aftermarket hitch, use
# TLF2022 for the front and # TLR3500 in the rear.

• 6-3/4 Foot Bed - without board or step underneath truck bed and with a Torklift SuperHitch Magnum 30k
hitch use # TLF2022 in the front and # TLR3504 for the rear.

• For a long bed with board or step underneath truck bed and with a factory installed hitch, use # TLF2021
for the front and # TLF3008 for the rear.

• For a long bed without board or step underneath truck bed and with a factory installed hitch, use
# TLF2021 in front and # TLF3008 for the rear.

• For a long bed without board or step underneath truck bed and with a non-Torklift aftermarket hitch, use
# TLF2021 up front and # TLR3500 for the rear.

• For a long bed without board or step underneath truck bed and with a Torklift SuperHitch Magnum 30k
hitch, use # TLF2021 in front and # TLR3504 for the rear.

Whew! Sorry about the length of the list, but it's very important that we dot all the i's and cross all the t's to get the right fit for you.

Finally, you'll need turnbuckles to attach the tie downs to the camper. TorkLift offers the locking FastGun turnbuckles that are available in black stainless as part # TLS9529-2-LK, polished stainless as part # TLS9526-2-LK or gray stainless as part # TLS9522-2-LK.

The difference is the part #TLD3113 fits the 2020 Ram 2500 and the part #TLD3112 fits the 3500 models. They are not interchangeable. Since you have a 2500 model you would want the TLD3113.
