hauling capability
I have a 2015 F350 6.2 srw crew cab. I am thinking of truck slide in camper for long trips. How do I determine my truck's hauling capability?

In 2015 there should be a yellow sticker on the driver's door post stating the payload capacity of the truck as built.
The reality is, folks usually have a hard time finding what they want and staying within the truck's "rated" hauling capability. Seems no matter how big of a truck they have, they always fall in love with the bigger camper.
This is where you start picking and choosing which ratings to acknowledge and which to ignore. First one to ignore is GVWR. If you read further on your truck's weight ratings sticker(s) there will be ratings for each axle with a certain size tire at a certain PSI. Those combined front and rear axle ratings usually add up to around 2000lbs more than the GVWR of the truck in a 350/3500 SRW.
