Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a quick look at these TorkLift Talon Custom Camper Tie-downs, These tie-downs are going to mount at the front of your truck bed camper, it's gonna provide the attachment points for your truck camper's turn buckles, so that you can have a nice secure connection and to hold your camper in place. These are just gonna be the front tie-downs, you will also need the rear tie-downs to ensure that all four corners of your camper are being held in place. Those rear tie-downs are sold separately, but you can find them here at etrailer.com. These tie-downs are going to have this custom bracket here for both sides of your truck. This is a custom fit for your 2015 through 2020 Ford F-150 with the 5 1/2 foot bed, either with the factory installed hitch or with no hitch at all, and with the fixed board or step under the cab, but not extending to the bed, otherwise, everything isn't gonna fit properly.
So if you have that 2015 to 2020 Ford F-150, this is gonna be a great option for you. This is a frame-mounted bracket, so it's gonna fit right to your truck's frame, so you're not gonna lose any ground clearance, and being mounted onto the frame is gonna ensure excellent handling, so instead of having that attached to the bed, it's going to better distribute the weight, so it's not gonna be as top heavy, it's gonna be a lot more secure for you. They do include detailed instructions to help you get these installed, as well as all the hardware that you're gonna need to install them onto your trucks frame. The way they work, this portion is going to be installed onto the frame permanently, so you'll get this installed once, it'll stay there. When you're ready to put your camper in place, you'll just slide the tie-down insert in.
You can see, we do have two different holes here, so depending on the width of your camper, if you need a little bit wider, you can use this first hole, or if it's a little more narrow, you can use that second hole, and then we'll just line up those holes, and then use the included pins, pass that through, and that will secure our tie-downs in place. Now, our tie-downs are a aluminum alloy, so they are gonna be very corrosion resistant, will hold up really well. Our receiver brackets are a nice stainless steel, so they are gonna be extremely durable, and the really nice thing about this system is that when you're not using your camper, it's not harbored in your bed, you can just remove this tie-down insert, you can store it in your camper or under your seat in your truck. It's really easy to remove and get stored away, and then you can put this cap on the bracket here. And because this is mounted onto the frame, it's gonna be underneath your truck, you're really not gonna see this, it's not gonna take away from the look of your F-150, so you're not gonna have to worry about an eyesore like some of your other truck camper brackets that are permanently installed and kind of take away from the look a little bit.
These are gonna be virtually undetectable, they're gonna blend right in and not take away from that factory look when you're not using them. But then when you do want to use them, very easy to just slide right in place, you have that nice steady connection to your truck's frame. These are made here in the USA, so you can trust they're made to the high quality standards that we've come to know and trust for products that are made here in the US. They also come with a lifetime warranty, so if you we're to have any problems with it, you're more than welcome to reach out to us here at etrailer.com. We're always happy to work with our customers, make sure you're getting good quality products, and having a good experience.
So in my mind, this is gonna be kinda your premium option, being able to remove those, get that factory look on your truck again, being attached to your truck's frame, that extra stability that it's gonna provide. This is gonna be the way to go if you're looking for that best case scenario for attaching your truck camper to your truck. So that's gonna complete our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching..

Always a great product! Shipping packaging needs to be improved as these were received dinged up and scratched. Installed anyways as I didn't want to go through the hassle of reorder and return. Will still continue to purchase products through etrailer, but wanted to make note.

Review from a similar Talon Front in Camper Tie-Downs
Torklift frame mounted tie downs are a great product. The rear ones are easy to install. The front require a bit more skill and an extra set of hands. It’s a bit nerve wracking thinking you might loose the bolts into the frame! I upgraded my truck from an F150 to an F250. Because the brackets aren’t transferable, I had to get a new set and install them on my F250. I was glad I had the experience with the previous brackets on the F150 because the ones for the F250 are a bit heavier and more challenging to install. But I was able to do it with an extra set of hands to hold the brackets on to the frame. The fact that I went with the same Torklift system is a testament to the product. If you can afford aluminum, they’re beautiful and light. But once everything is in place, there’s no functional difference. etrailer has great installation videos for the F150, but not the F250. I wish they had install videos for the F250 because it’s a bit more challenging, requiring an impact driver to loosen the nut on the driver side leaf spring.

I just finished installing the front tie-downs and am really happy with the results. Although the instructions directed me to remove one e-cable bracket, I removed both e-cable brackets on the driver's side to get enough slack to slide the bracket behind the e-cable. See the pictures. Instructions were easy to follow. Many thanks to big A for the extra hands, impact tool and torque wrench!
Review from a similar Talon Front in Camper Tie-Downs
The passenger side was a little confusing but the driver side went smooth, also you need a really good impact wrench for the leaf spring bolts.

Paint finish was pretty banged up, but all intact regarding tie downs. The super hitch did not arrive so I am still waiting for delivery. UPS only dropped one box.

I bought the Torklift camper tie downs for my new 2017 Ram 3500 dually. I haul a Lance 850 slide in truck camper. They came today and I installed them in about 4 hours. (I work slow) I bought the Aluminum ones so I don't have to worry about any rust. They look great and like the Torklift that was on my old truck I am sure they will give me great service.

they installed without too many problems the only real problem I had was the bolt fish wire and maybe you should supply more then one. Other wise they went on without much effort.
Review from a similar Talon Front in Camper Tie-Downs
About a year ago, I purchased the aluminum Talon Torklift Frame-Mounted Front and Rear Camper Tie-Downs. The install was easy taking the better part of a day including a little help from a local automotive mechanic to loosen and retorque the truck’s leaf spring bolts. The Tie-Downs have worked great since installed with no issues. I highly recommend them.

Easiest installation available. These fit perfect and attach just as instructed. The only issue you may have to watch is that on some truck frames, mine being one of them, Ford covers one of the holes with a black sticker that states, "No Mounting Bracket". In my case, the writing on this sticker was covered by a film of road grime and I had problems even finding the hole to dry fit the bracket until I cleaned off the frame with solvent. The actually TorkLift kit fits the frame perfectly though. The passenger rear bracket is very close to the exhaust pipe so when diesel particulate filter regeneration cycle begins, it will melt the label off the bracket but does not appear the even burn the paint on it so should still be OK, just be aware when unhooking the tie down from the bracket as it could be very hot.

I purchased the Torklift Talon front and rear TC tie downs and love the fact they are lightweight but yet very strong. Being aluminum powder coated is great being in a salt air environment so no rusting like the steel versions do.

It's a little tricky feeding the bolts through the frame (almost lost one, but a little tape on the bolt/spring helped), but a great product otherwise. The mounting scheme for my Chevy 2500 HD is strong and ingeniously designed. No drilling or welding. The aluminum won't rust like other tie-downs mounted to the frame. It was well worth the extra money to get the aluminum version of this product.
Review from a similar Talon Front in Camper Tie-Downs
Excellent product. Good customer service. I will always use tork lift products from now on. etrailer is an excellent vendor as well. I upgraded from happy jack camper tie downs. I like the aluminum talon tork lifts for their easy installation, zero corrosion liability, and unimposing appearance when not in use.
Review from a similar Talon Front in Camper Tie-Downs
Very quality product. Was fairly easy to install, except for a couple holes in the frame that were evidently drilled smaller on the 2015 pickup so had to drill them out to install mounts. One decal was incorrectly placed on a rear mount. Two ties downs said were for front passenger side but only decal was wrong as one was for the rear driver side. The shipment came through quickly and am satisfied with my purchase.

Received part of my order but did not receive Torklift frame mounted tie downs for the front for my 2015 Ford F350 and have not heard of status! I am planning a trip and hopefully will receive them soon as I have never had this happened to me on previous orders.
Review from a similar Talon Front in Camper Tie-Downs
100% Aluminum! Had to call TorkLift as it wasn't clear what components were AL. all frame brackets, receiver tube and slide in bar are aluminum. Had steel torklift previously and completely rusted out after ~6 years. For the expense they should have been coated better. Steel powder coating adherence was terrible. AL better be an improvement for the $$. Time will tell.

Occasionally I do business with a company who makes me feel like they are genuinely interested in my concerns. etrailer is one such business. William B, Hally C and Sheila C are extremely professional and knowledgeable about the products they sell. Their eagerness to help and politeness really comes through during the phone conversations I have had with each of them. It is a great pleasure to do business with quality people like these folks. Thanks again for all your help.
