For a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 with a Palomino Bronco, I recommend the clamp-on type of camper tie-downs. We have two options of the Brophy Clamp-On Camper Tie-Downs that I recommend for your application.
- Powder Coated Black, # HSAB
- Chrome Plated Steel, # HSCP
If you select the black finish or the chrome, you will still use the same Brophy Basic Turnbuckles w/ Hardware for Camper Tie-Downs, # TDHP.
These options are a full set of four and have all needed installation hardware. I have also linked installation videos below for help. These install with simple hand tools and between the printed installation instructions and the help videos should be a very easy install.
Just for an FYI, you also have the option of the TorkLift Talon Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs, # TLC2220A for the front and #TLC3215A for the back of vehicle. But I recommend the clamp-on style for your application as they are a better price point and the full benefits of the frame mounted design are not realized when using with the sleek pop-up design that your Palomino Bronco provides.
