The correct front tie-downs for your 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 are the TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs # TLC2224.

The correct rear tie-downs depends on if your have dual exhaust or single exhaust. I have listed each option below.

Dual-Exhaust
- TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs # TL54FR

Single-Exhaust
- TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs # TLC3220

You will also need turnbuckles to secure the camper to the tie-downs.

- TorkLift Locking FastGun Turnbuckles # TLS9529-2-LK
