Torklift is the industry leader in truck camper tie downs, trusted by owners for unmatched strength, safety, and durability. Our patented TRUE Frame-Mounted Camper Tie Downs® deliver ultimate stability, protection, and ease of use.
No matter what you drive — Ford, Chevy, GMC, RAM, Dodge, Nissan, Toyota, or Jeep — our tie downs are custom-engineered for your exact truck make and model. That means a perfect fit, no drilling into your truck bed, and peace of mind knowing your camper is secured to the strongest foundation — your truck's frame.
Unlike stake pocket or bed-mounted tie downs that attach to thin sheet metal, Torklift tie downs bolt directly to the truck frame, the safest and strongest part of your vehicle. This design:
- Keeps your camper stable and reduces sway in all directions
- Protects against bed flex, bumper cracks, and corrosion
- Maintains full ground clearance and a clean factory look
- Ensures maximum safety, handling, and truck camper stability
All Torklift TRUE Frame-Mounted Tie Downs are made in the USA and come with our legendary Lifetime Warranty, giving you long-lasting protection and confidence on every trip.
Torklift truck camper tie downs are widely recognized as the industry's top choice for strength and reliability — but you don't have to take our word for it. Check out this review written by Truck Camper Adventure here.
When used with any of our fully springloaded turnbuckles, we warranty the truck frame and camper anchor points for the extent of the manufacturer warranty. TRUE Frame-Mounted Tie Downs come in sets of two and are proudly made in the USA.

These truck camper tie downs are for Ford, Chevy, Dodge and Ram, Nissan, Jeep and Toyota and have been specifically designed just for your truck with its own individual fitment.

Our truck camper tie downs are designed to be an easy DIY installation for a novice at-home wrench enthusiast – anyone can do it! An installation generally involves bolting the truck camper tie down brackets to the truck frame using pre-drilled holes. All hardware is included. The included tie down inserts then fit into the receiver opening of the bracket that was installed. After that, all that is needed is to select a turnbuckle which serves as the connection point between the truck camper anchor point and the truck camper tie down insert. We offer a variety of turnbuckles butour all-time best-selling one can be found here.
