Questions?

It is advisable to purchase a one-ton truck for the purpose of transporting a truck camper. The rationale behind this recommendation lies in the fact that one-ton trucks possess the highest payload capacities and are designed with the necessary suspension and braking systems to ensure the safe transportation of a truck camper. Additionally, should you decide to enhance your camper to a larger and heavier model in the future, owning a one-ton truck will allow you to make this upgrade without the need to acquire a new vehicle.

The suitability is contingent upon the specific truck model, its designated payload capacity, and the dimensions and weight of the camper you are considering. For instance, the 2015 Ford F-150 short-bed (154-inch wheelbase), crew cab, two-wheel drive, equipped with the heavy-duty payload package, has a maximum rated payload of 2,799 pounds. Most half-ton pickup trucks available typically offer a significantly lower payload capacity, generally around 1,600 pounds. This diminished payload effectively restricts users to options such as pop-up campers, small hard-side campers, and cab-less campers.

The ceiling height varies based on the model, measuring either 6 feet 4 inches or 6 feet 6 inches.

The installation of campers is intended to be carried out with the tailgate detached. Keeping the tailgate in place will result in it being in the lowered position, which complicates entry and exit from the camper. Furthermore, detaching the tailgate facilitates improved access to the spare tire. An exception arises when a long bed camper is mounted on a short bed truck. In such instances, the tailgate will stay attached and in the lowered position, as the camper will extend beyond the truck bed and over the lowered tailgate.
