Heavy-Duty Tie-Downs

Heavy-duty strength in a lightweight package: the TorkLift Talon tie-downs are the premium choice for heavy truck campers and unforgiving climates. Made of military-grade aluminum alloy, the removable arms are rustproof and robust while also being lightweight and easy to handle. The receiver brackets are constructed of rugged stainless steel, and both components are protected by a high-impact powder coat finish that guards against wear and tear.


A Safe Ride is a Comfortable Ride

If you're looking for the best tie-downs for your camper, frame-mounted is the way to go. The frame is the most solid part of your entire vehicle, so it just makes sense to attach your camper to something that's not going to warp, bend, or twist. Even more importantly, the camper's center of gravity is going to sit lower and its weight will be spread across the entire bed. This avoids a top-heavy load perched on top of your bed rails that's liable to sway and get pushed around by crosswinds. The camper's not going to shift or slide around while you drive; it's going to stay put, and your truck is going to handle just like it does without a camper.


Quick Tip: If you have a plastic or spray-in bed liner, it's important that you use a rubber mat under the camper to eliminate any sliding or bouncing.


Don't Ruin Your Truck's Looks

Frame-mounted tie-downs are also a great pick for preserving your truck's good looks. The brackets install on the frame, tucked nearly flush to the underside of the vehicle. Remove the arms from the brackets when you're not using them and the brackets will be barely visible.


Custom Fit, No-Drill Installation

Completely custom to your vehicle, the tie-downs attach to exisiting holes in your frame so that there's little to no drilling and no need for any modifications. Because they're custom, you'll want to use our in-house application guide to make sure you get the exact right model. The tie-downs you need might be different depending on what type of hitch or other accessories you have.


how to find the right tie down for my truck - custom camper tiedown

Securing Your Camper

TorkLift Talon Tie Down Example

Once the tie-downs are installed, use a set of turnbuckles (sold separately) to secure the camper to the tie-downs. The shank on each arm has 2 pin holes so you can choose how far out they extend, that way the turnbuckles can reach the anchors on your camper without making contact with your truck. Tighten the turnbuckles to the correct level of tension (not too tight!).


where to put camper tie downs

Make sure the anchor points are offset from the tie-downs instead of lined up with them so that they will hold your camper from multiple angles. This is important for keeping your camper from shifting. Two holes in the attachment plate of the tie-downs let you find the best angle for you camper anchors.

Video Transcript for All About the TorkLift Tie Downs-TL43PR

Hey, everybody, Jared at etrailer.com. Today I want to take a quick look at the front frame-mounted Talon Camper Tie-Downs by Torklift. Now this is a custom fit product. This is designed to fit the 2019 through 2021 Ram 3,500 with a six and a half foot bed. According to the manufacturer, it does not fit if there are running boards or tube steps that extend beyond the cab and run along the bed. On a custom part like this, I always recommend that you go to our website and put your vehicle information into our fit guide and ensure a proper fit.

Now, this setup is for front-mounted Camper Tie-Downs. The rear-mounted Camper Tie-Downs would be sold separately. This will help you attach your truck camper confidently by attaching your Tie-Downs to the strongest part of your truck, which is the frame. The mounts will help its stability and vehicle handling. And it's the safest way to haul your truck camper.

It'll prevent vehicle sway and camper movement in all directions. And vehicle manufacturers do recommend that full height camper bodies be directly attached to your vehicle frame structure. This was, securing at the base, rather than the bed, will help distribute the weight and keep the setup from being too top heavy. It also helps to avoid bed and bumper damage which is common with other tie-downs systems. Now, one of the tie-downs is not to the driver's side and the other will be mounted to your passenger side.

The two holes at the tie-down inserts will allow you to attach your turnbuckles from your camper to your truck and not interfere with anything on your vehicle. There's also two holes here at the shank insert which will offer different width campers. Now, this is a fast, no drill install and there is no loss of clearance with the tie-down system. The brackets are made of stainless steel and the inserts are made of aluminum and they all have a black powder coat finish to help prevent rust. Now this includes both passenger and driver's side frame-mounted brackets and front tie-down inserts and all necessary hardware.

And it has a nice set of instructions here, explaining the installation. If we consider the dimensions, we do have a mounting bracket length, 13 inches. The maximum length, at its widest option, including the inset, is 27 and a quarter inches. And the minimum length, at its narrowest option, including the insert, is 23, 23 and three eights inches, within install. Now, when you're not using your tie-downs, alls you have to do is pull the pin here. You remove the insert from the frame mounted bracket and without the inserts, the bracket mounted to the frame will hide away. It'll give your truck the back-to-factory-look. Now when you're using your tie-downs, simply put the insert back in. You're going to find the hole which is going to accommodate your truck and your camper width. Alright, replace the pin and then you're good to go. There is a lifetime warranty attached to this product and it's made in the USA, a standard quality you know and trust. Alright, well let's load our front frame-mounted Talon Camper Tie-Downs by Torklift. I'm Jared with each etrailer.com. You have a good one..

The tie-downs were a bit difficult to install for a novice but if you follow instructions closely they did install as outlined in the instructions. They are lightweight and have held my camper in place very well. I am happy with this purchase.



by:

Ordered both front and back set for my 2023 F250. All good except one of the bolt holes for the front drive side is missing. Called etrailer. Option 1 - return (we'll see). Option 2 call torklift. Called torklift and left a message - we'll see what the response is. Viewing etrailer website, this is the proper fit. Viewing torklift website "There are no fits available". Photo included.



by:

I purchased front & rear TorkLift Frame mounts. Thay worked great and safer than bed mounts.



by:

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.



by:

Torklift makes the best truck camper accessories period! Best value for the best price.



by:

Excellent product and excellent service from ETRAILER! Held up well after one year, will hold up in long run as well. Fit and finish of product is outstanding. Durable coatings, and well worth the extra money for these!



by:

Fairly easy installation, lots of support and videos if you need the help. We'll built and works as it should.



by:

Great product. E trailer staff was friendly, knowledgeable and made the purchase easy. Will use them again for future needs.

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.



by:

Excellent product. Easy to install and take down.



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

I ordered Camper tie-downs for my new Ram 2500. I erroneously ordered TDL2126A for the front. They wouldn't clear the nurfs. A quick call confirmed that I would need the TDL2127A. I had to pay for the 27As up front and hope when I returned the 26As on an rmer I would receive prompt refunds. Imagine my surprise when they notified me that they received my return and the refund was on its way. These guys are super, especially Brenden C.
ps the Aluminum tie downs are great and the happy jacks awesome!



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

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!



by:

Installed on a 2016 RAM 3500. The install was pretty easy overall however, my biggest gripe is that I needed to purchase 6 extra Grade 8 bolts and nowhere does the packaging indicate that I needed to purchase extra hardware. Also, the drivers side mount was not manufactured 100%-flat so getting the short bolt in was a challenge but finally got it. I'm giving this a 3-star due to the missing bolts and no indication that more would be needed.



by:

My salesperson was great, especially with the mess-up in shipping and handling. (Install instructions were not included) Of course, Torklift products are very well made BUT I did have to modify them ever so slightly, probably because my 2016 Ram was put together with a little less accuracy than was needed. Would use etrailer again.



by:

I needed torklift but it was backorder every where in canada. So i order it onlinevat etrailer.

Excellent experience, event if i didn't talk to anyone. I received the follow up of my order at every step. I needed my order rush and it worked, even in covid time.
I recommend etrail to my rv dealer.

The torklift is perfect.

Thanks
You saved my summer holidays



by:

Installed easily and works great!



by:

Received 2 driver side front mounts and dealer where it was being installed went the extra mile and made the change happen by calling your company. Trip stalled out b/c of incorrect parts. Product is likely great but product was incorrect when received.



by:

A quality product that has held up well after a year!



by:

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.



by:

etrailer.com is a great company. They have quality parts,good prices, fast shipping, PDF installation instructions and excellent customer service.

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.
