Difference Between TorkLift Rear Camper Tie-Downs TLD3109 & TLD3109A For 2015 Ram 2500

Question

Question:

Good afternoon, I want to know if the difference between these two options is only the type of material. Screw hole spaces are different in TLD3109 Vs. TLD 3109A? Will either fit my 2015 Ram Laramie Crew Cab?

You are correct; the only difference between the two camper tie-downs is indeed how they are constructed; otherwise there is not a difference. One is made of aluminum and the other is powder-coated steel:

- Aluminum: TorkLift Talon Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs - Aluminum - Rear # TLD3109A

- Steel: TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs - Rear # TLD3109

The aluminum is the more premium option because their aluminum construction means they are not going to rust, which is something that, over a long enough period of time, can happen with steel, even with the powder coat. So if you plan to keep your current truck for some time, investing in the aluminum is worth it, but if you plan on switching trucks, then the steel tie-downs are probably the better choice.

Both will fit your 2015 Ram 2500 so long as it has the factory hitch (or no hitch); if you have something different, just let me know and I can find the right part for you.

We do have great hitch extender options for trucks like your that have 2-1/2 inch hitches like the Curt part #C45048 but the #TLE1642 only fits the new Ram trucks that have 3 inch hitches. The Curt #C45048 can be used as a 34 inch extension or cut…

If you use the Curt hitch extender part #C45048 in the 24 inch length with a weight distribution system the towing capacity is 8,000 lbs. If the 24 inch length would work for you this would be a great option.

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…

Answer 12

The current Torklift tie down part #TLD3101 that you have installed on your 1997 Dodge Ram 3500 only fits if you have the factory hitch. If you go with the SuperHitch part #TLD1100 you would need to change your rear tie down to the part #TLR3503.
