Product Description

The Torklift R3500 Rear Camper Tie Downs are a heavy-duty, hitch-mounted solution engineered for older Chevrolet C/K series trucks and select Colorado models. Unlike modern no-drill frame-mounted systems, this unit is designed to integrate with aftermarket hitch assemblies, providing a secure rear anchor point for truck campers.

This system utilizes a two-piece design, consisting of a permanently mounted bracket and a removable insert. When not in use, the insert can be removed to maintain a clean, unobtrusive appearance.

Due to the vehicle platforms it supports, installation typically requires drilling into the hitch side plates, ensuring a solid and secure connection point capable of handling demanding camper loads.

Important Notice

Before installation, confirm:

• Your vehicle’s payload capacity
• Compatibility with your aftermarket hitch system
• Required drilling and mounting clearances

Failure to follow vehicle manufacturer guidelines may affect safety and warranty.
