Front Toyota Tundra- ApexAnchors - In Bed Tie Down Payload Anchors for Truck Camper – T5308-P

*Patent Pending

Maximize the adventure with Torklift’s ApexAnchors Frame Mounted Truck Camper Tie Downs. Mounted directly to the strongest part of the truck – the frame -  with anchor points accessible inside of the truck bed and engineered for the truck camper enthusiast who ventures off the beaten path. Our internal payload anchors are frame mounted and provide a secure, stable foundation for slide in truck campers, motorcycles, ATV’s and other significant, dynamic loads with a high center of gravity. Maximum stability is exceedingly important when it comes to hauling truck campers to avoid camper shift.
Camper shift refers to the unintentional and unsafe movement of position during transit. This can occur when a truck camper is loaded improperly or when the camper is mounted to the inadequate cargo anchor points that are installed to the truck bed by the truck manufacturer. Excessive camper shift can result in significant stress to the truck and camper that can eventually lead to structural damage. Additionally, this instability leads to poor ride quality and handling characteristics making the driving experience unsafe and uncomfortable.
Proper loading and securing of the truck camper to these ApexAnchors frame-mounted payload anchor points is essential for vehicle stability and safety. Ideal for tackling tough terrains with your truck camper or other gear, this internal frame-mounted payload anchor system allows you to go off the beaten path without worry that the payload in your truck bed will shift during transit.

Payload Anchor Points vs. Cargo Anchor Points

anchors

The standard cargo anchor points provided by truck manufacturers are intended for light, temporary use. These cargo anchor points are typically not assigned a weight rating and are installed directly onto the truck bed. The truck bed itself is not designed to bear significant loads, especially over prolonged periods.

In contrast, Torklift offers an essential upgrade with our maximum payload anchor point system. These heavy-duty anchor points are bolted directly to the truck's frame, ensuring they can handle substantial loads with a high center of gravity like a truck camper. Our payload anchor points provide a secure, reliable connection, designed to support heavy-duty applications and long-term use.

Defining a Dynamic Load vs Static Load

The ApexAnchors Internal Frame-mounted payload anchor system is designed to haul dynamic loads. By definition, a dynamic load refers to the forces that act on a structure or object that change over time. Unlike static loads which remain constant and unchanged, dynamic loads vary in magnitude, direction, and point of application. In our case, a dynamic load would refer to a truck camper loaded in the truck bed.

Importance of Spring-Loaded Turnbuckle System

When looking at dynamic loads, it is important to take into consideration why a spring-loaded turnbuckle system is so key to avoid truck or truck camper damage. For comparison, when looking at constructing buildings there are seismic building codes in place to protect the building from structural damage. A crucial part of this is allowing controlled movement in the building to minimize earthquake damage. The same goes with your truck camper.  The spring-loaded turnbuckles allow for a secure connection between anchor points while allowing for just enough flexibility to protect your camper from fractures or long term damage.

Disclaimer: Before installing and using this tie down system, review your vehicle’s guidelines regarding payload usage. Some vehicles may have payload limits that make them unsuitable for carrying a camper or an additional payload. Torklift recommends consulting your vehicle’s manufacturer to confirm you are within safe payload limits and to understand any potential warranty implications.

 

Torklift is not responsible for damage or warranty exclusions that may result if manufacturer payload limits are exceeded during the use or installation of these products.

Recommended for Safety: When hauling a truck camper, Torklift strongly recommends StableLoad to help support the load, reduce sway and body roll, and promote safer, more controlled handling on the road.

What are ApexAnchors?

ApexAnchors are Torklift in bed payload anchor points that bolt directly to the truck frame through the truck bed to create a strong tie down connection inside the bed. Each anchor point is rated for up to 2,000 lbs.

How are ApexAnchors different from standard bed mounted cargo tie downs?

ApexAnchors attach to the truck frame through the bed, which is designed to handle heavy, dynamic loads like a slide in truck camper. Typical bed mounted cargo anchors are generally intended for lighter, temporary cargo securing.

Will ApexAnchors reduce my truck’s ground clearance?

No. ApexAnchors bolt to the truck frame and are designed to preserve the vehicle’s original ground clearance.

Do ApexAnchors sit flush when not in use?

Yes. The payload anchor points are designed to sit flush with the truck bed when they are not being used.

What is camper shift and how do ApexAnchors help reduce it?

Camper shift is movement of a loaded truck camper in the bed during transit, which can affect handling and contribute to damage over time. ApexAnchors help reduce camper shift by connecting the tie down points to the strongest part of the truck, the frame.

Is drilling required to install ApexAnchors?

ApexAnchors are designed as a bolt on system that mounts directly to the truck frame. Installation details vary by application, so follow the instructions for your specific part number.

Why does Torklift recommend spring loaded turnbuckles with ApexAnchors?

Spring loaded turnbuckles help maintain a secure connection while allowing controlled movement that helps protect the truck, camper, and anchor points from stress caused by dynamic loads during travel.

What types of loads can I secure with ApexAnchors?

ApexAnchors are intended for heavy, dynamic loads with a higher center of gravity such as slide in truck campers that have internal camper anchor points and can also be used to secure items like motorcycles and ATVs when used within published ratings.

Are ApexAnchors manufactured by Torklift?

Yes. ApexAnchors are a Torklift product that is designed, engineered, and Made in the USA. Manufacturer specifications and fitment guidance are published on Torklift.com.

Where are ApexAnchors made and what warranty is included?

ApexAnchors are Proudly Made in the USA and are covered by Torklift’s Legendary Lifetime Warranty.

How do I confirm I am choosing the correct ApexAnchors part number?

Use the fitment guidance on Torklift.com and match your truck application to the correct ApexAnchors part number before ordering.
