Speaker 1: Today, we're going to be taking a look at TorkLift's line of custom frame mounted camper tie downs for the front. You want to verify here at etrailer.com using our fit guide, which ones work best for your vehicle. There are sets also available that will fit your vehicle available for the rear. These custom mounted brackets are going to provide an easy attachment point to hook up your camper.What's additionally great about those is that they have the removable ends. So when you're not using it, they'll be hidden away, and your vehicle will look like factory. The custom mounted brackets we're engineered to provide you with the best location for your tie down point to even distribute the load.
So, once they're attached, and adjusted. This'll keep your camper from being too top heavy. This'll increase the overall ride quality while you're campers attached, and the safety. It's made of a durable steel with a black powder coat finish, which'll ensure that you have a strong attachment point, and it'll be highly resistant to corrosion.When you are ready to use them, you can just slide in the attachment point. There's two points here to attach your turn buckles, and here on the shaft there are two points that will give you an adjustment inward, and outward, to specifically fit your camper.
So, you can use this hole for a wider camper, or this hole for an aero camper. Once you've got your appropriate hole, slide the pin through, and bring the latch over, and lock it in place. Then you can attach your turn buckles.Now if you need some turn buckles you can pick them up here at etrailer.com. There are many a different styles. From chain types, to quick attach lever types.
Our style is going to a be a threaded rod type that will hook to your camper, and down to our attachment point. We'll adjust it snug by turning our turn buckle here. With our passenger side done, we'll repeat that same step on our driver's side.Compared to stake pocket, our bumper mounted camper tie downs, frame mounted tie downs will provide better handling. They also mount out of sight, giving your truck a cleaner look, because the custom fit brackets secure tight against your trucks frame there is no loss of ground clearance. That completes our look at TorkLift's line of custom frame mounted camper tie downs for the front..

Ready your truck to haul a camper with these sturdy tie-downs. Inserts slide into frame-mounted brackets for use and easily remove for a clean, unobtrusive look. Custom designed for your vehicle.by: Keith 10/11/2021
Although I had my mechanic install them, he said they were relatively easy to install. They are a little spendy but the cabover has not blown off, yet!
by: Jim09/12/2020
They are the only way to go. I've been hauling and using truck campers for over 40 years and can't imagine finding anything better. They are also a great anchor point to tie things down in the bed when the camper is off the truck. Buy them and you won't be disappointed.

Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
Significantly overpriced for what it is and on top of that it’s terrible quality!
They were installed on the truck for 2 weeks, and used once when they’ve already started to rust. Even if they were made of stainless steel it’s overpriced for what you get.
When I contacted Etrailer about a warranty they directed me to TorkLift. At first they were just going to send me a can of paint to address the rust issue. After I threatened to leave a poor, but realistic review they sent me a replacement set.
I’d say to wholeheartedly avoid this product but the problem is there aren’t other options…. And they know it…. Which allows charge whatever they want.
by: Dot07/15/2022
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
I had the mountings professionally attached to the frame. The hatches can be easily removed when not in use( and I would recommend that to keep them from being stolen). Using chains and turnbuckles, I feel very comfortable with my truck camper staying where it is.. does not rock, very solid.
It’s nice to feel secure about my camper staying firmly attached.
It was worth the investment.

Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
Perfect fit. Very strong and secure. The leaf spring bolt on my 2017 F350 could only be loosened by a local diesel mechanic. The Ford dealership and corporate repair shops wouldn’t loosen it for me due to their liability concerns. The bolts that you need to feed through with the wire leads are a bit tricky. Be sure you have something like vise grips to clam onto the bolt once it is in place before you remove the wire. You don’t want it to drop back down into the frame. You also need to hold onto the end of the bolt while you hand tighten the nut until the star washer can bite enough to keep it from spinning. Then you can crank it down with your ratchet. All in all, the instructions were very good and complete. I was able to do the installation myself with just the one trip to get the passenger side leaf spring bolt started. I look forward to many years of camping with my unit securely tied down to my truck. Thanks!

Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
The torklift tie down system is a must. I’ve had them on my GMC Denali the make loading and securing my lance camper a breeze. I just ordered a new set because I recently purchased a new ram truck and the old bracket wouldn’t fit. Not sure how it could be done with out your products.
by: Bronceaux11/17/2021
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
Sturdy and convenient to use, but the powder coat finish has proven to not be very durable or able to withstand typical on-road use. I think other owners may have experienced the same. I would have expected a better finish.
Comments
After a years use, I would I would purchase the TorkLift tie-downs again and recommend them to friends. Deterioration of the finish occurred early and has not noticeably progressed.

Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
Definitely love these tie downs. I can convert my truck into a camper in less than five minutes and they securely hold the slide-in no matter the road conditions or terrain we are crossing.
by: Dave 10/03/2022
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
They work great, but if you have full length wheel to wheel round tube nerf step bars, they will not clear them. I had to change my step bars to the cab length type. They will likely clear a flat running board, not sure. This was the only fitment issue i had.
Comments
Yes, unfortunately, these will depend greatly on needing to know the cab style, and if the truck had running boards or steps, and what kind of trailer hitch the truck has. Once you have this information you will be able to determine what tie downs will fit best for your application.

Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
Looking good. The frame mounts arrived well packaged and in good condition.
Installation was very difficult on the 2014 f150. There are no videos covering this year of Ford. The written instructions were OK but the pictures truly are worthless, all you can see is a white stick pointing at some black object in a black picture.
Do not attempt to install these mounts by yourself on a 2014 ford f150, there isn't enough room and you don't have enough hands.
I wasted 3 hours trying to install the drivers side by myself and gave up. With my beautiful assistants help we were finally able to install the drivers side in 45 minutes. The passenger side too 45 minutes as well to install.
Once again the product looks good and arrived in great shape. Time will tell how it performs.
Comments
A year later and many miles on rough back country roads I must say these tie downs are excellent. The most the camper has moved ever was 14 inch and that was after 50 mph winds and 35 miles on what is loosely described as a road, stutter bumps, pot holes, rocks, etc.. My only regret is that I did not get these tie downs first, instead I tried other systems that failed miserably, got a dented pickup box to prove that.

4 stars, just cause of the written instructions. Could be clearer.
Product Review: F2016, 2012 Ford F250 extended cab 8' bed
I really like the Torklift front tiedowns. I didn't feel I had the skill to fab the front tiedowns. The rear however, are rather simple. 2 1/2" 1/4" wall square pipe slips inside the factory hitch receiver. I used 27" lengths. The factory Ford hitch receiver curves towards the rear axle. Drilled and tapped thru receiver and pipe to hold it. Happy with the quick service from etrailer.com!

Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
I actually purchased both front and rear tie down brackets for my truck and cab-over camper. I have had them installed over a year now and these tie downs are THE BEST. They remain stug and hold the camper securely in the truck bed from the truck frame. Solid.

Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
I wasn't planning on purchasing a new set of Tie-Downs, but having my truck totaled by a careless driver, changed that plan.
Bought the front and rears to install on my new 2021 Ram 2500. Installation was a snap, literally under an hour for the set of four. Using them to secure my Lance 650, they have worked as excellently as the previous set did (may they rest in peace).
as usual, etrailer's sales and service were top shelf.

Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
Product is great,,,,instructions suck. How much trouble would it be to do a couple more illustrations.
Your hardware instructions were fine,,,,,Just the re-routing emergency brake cable was beyond bad.

Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
Jason was great to work with on getting the proper camper tie downs for my truck as it was a new truck and was a bit confused as to the proper application.
I had them installed within an hour. Even an armature bolt twister could do this!
I have used my camper a lot since putting these on my truck and will tell you these are THE MOST SECURE ANCHORS I have ever used on any of my trucks PERIOD!
You will not make a bad decision going with this product. I recommend these tie downs over any product available! I Don't normally give recommendations or endorse products. These I am truly impressed with.

A year later and I couldnt be happier! I stand with my previous review 100

Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
Well when the box arrived it was damaged missing parts. I think your packaging needs to be do better. Parts were loose in the box. I believe the bracket is overengineneered way to heavy.

I am sorry to hear that this arrived in this condition. Our customer service department will be getting in touch with you about a return label.

Works great on my 2010 Ram. Installed easy, the truck would most likely roll over before the camper would come out.

Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
I have a 2022 Ford F-250 super can. The frame mount tie downs went on great. You have to loosen leaf spring bolts to install brackets, passenger side bolt is 1 3/16 and drivers side is 1 1/4 so plan ahead. Need 3/4 drive brake bar too. Everything else was easy install. Nice strong mounts. I like them.
by: Wayne09/22/2022
Review from a similar Frame-Mounted Front in Camper Tie-Downs
Shipped fast, well ahead of expected date.
The manufacturers written installation instructions were appalling and the few videos I found online from them were less than not helpful. (I work for a manufacturer myself and was shocked at this).
Were it not for etrailers videos I could not have figured installation out. I say figure it out because understandably I didn’t find model specific videos but enough information to see how they should install.
So, TorkLift gets 5 product stars/-10 installation instruction stars and etrailer gets 5+ stars all around!
