Aluminum camper tie downs for Ford trucks
Ford truck tie downs for campers, select the strongest tie down application available that features a frame-mounted design for ultimate stability.
The number one selling truck in the world is a Ford F150. It’s no wonder Fords are a popular truck for hauling truck campers. When looking forNow Torklift Tie Downs for all-aluminum Ford trucks are available in aluminum applications as a nod to Ford’s effort at becoming more lightweight.
While hauling a truck camper, achieve the safest set up possible by preventing movement of the camper within the truck and potential damage to the camper or the truck bed. In order to prevent such movement, you’ll want the camper and Ford truck to become one unit. As opposed to bed-mounted tie downs that lack stability and potentially cause truck bed damage, install frame-mounted tie downs that attach directly to the frame of the Ford truck. Torklift Tie Downs are individually engineered to each truck model to ensure the best possible fitment on four independent tie down points.
As we’ve seen a recent shift to the use of aluminum materials in the manufacturing of Ford trucks, Torklift also uses this material for a lightweight, corrosion resistant application of Ford truck camper tie downs. For optimum performance, Torklift International Talon military grade aluminum Tie Downs are engineered to withstand even the toughest conditions.
For the most advanced tie down design on the market, Talon Tie Downs for Ford trucks are the best system available. With lifetime warranty that even covers corrosion, these Ford truck tie downs are completely rust resistant and even stronger than traditional steel tie downs in some applications.
Aluminum Talon Tie Downs are precision crafted from lightweight military grade aluminum alloy just like aluminum Ford trucks, making them up to 50% lighter than steel applications. This lighter tie down system helps relieve unnecessary weight when hauling a camper in order to stay within the payload and rate capacities set by the specific model of Ford truck.
Jim Weber installed Talon Tie Downs on his 2001 Ford F-350 truck.
“I have the Torklift tie down system called the Talons for my camper and I really love them,” said Weber. “They are very lightweight, very strong but also very easy to install.”
“I have a very heavy camper and have had no issues whatsoever with flexing or stressing,” Weber explains. “I’ve had campers for years and these are by far the strongest camper tie down system I’ve used.”
