Torklift International just announced the release of several new truck camper products. These include an improved version of the company’s Glowstep, called the GlowStep Revolution Uprising, the Cannon trailer hitch receiver for 2017-2019 Ford Super Duty trucks, the SuperHitch Hero 15k trailer hitch for Ford F-150 trucks, and the Universal Dirt Destroyer shoe cleaning attachment.
“We really had to put our engineering team to the test to complete the GlowStep Revolution Uprising. It’s specifically designed for RVs that do not have a conventional foldout RV step that is externally mounted in a step well below the doorway,” explained Torklift President Jack Kay. “While we will always have the original GlowStep Revolution, the Uprising edition is designed for folks who wanted to have all the advantages of our step, but could not because the RV frame was missing the step well. This model is also designed to work with side-entry truck campers. Our customers have been asking for this step for about a year and we had to work diligently to meet this deadline.”
Torklift also announced the release of the PowerArmor Lithium locking battery box for travel trailers.
“The PowerArmor Lithium came from the great demand for a way to store lithium batteries due to the cost,” Kay said. “The locking battery box holds two lithium batteries that are valued at nearly $3,000. That is not something any of us can afford to have stolen or damaged.”
In addition, Torklift just announced two new sponsorship collaborations with HillShot Hooligan Co-Founder Joel Crawford and reigning Jiu Jitsu World Champion Ron Boutilier.
“Joel is currently a large influence in the RV industry as a co-founder of a group of several thousand toy-hauler enthusiasts who meet up all over the Pacific Northwest at various sand dunes to play with side-by-sides, ATVs and quads known as the HillShot Hooligans,” Kay explained.
Ron has been competing in various mixed martial arts and Jiu Jitsu competitions for years, explained Kay.
“Sponsoring Ron is really fun because he is a world champion and we offer the world champion SuperHitch Towing Series,” Kay said. “He is incredibly exceptional and it has been a great opportunity to work with him and watch him use our heavy-duty SuperHitch for weight training.”
I am looking at the new and improved Glowstep and saying no…sorry guys and I love Torklift products and have them but this is scary. Getting in and out of RV’s is never an easy job and truck campers can be the worst. Those two adjust legs make a lot of sense in theory, but in application, I find them frightening. I have fallen down the steps and so has my wife and neither of us are weight hampered or drinkers. Change the name to the Impaler. We often come in late a night and have forgotten to turn on the outside lights, those legs are a tripping point for anyone.
Maybe I am seeing the pic wrong and if so then I will cheerfully accept my incorrect view.
