We are on our 3d F250, gas, 2wd, long bed with super cab and camper package. All were base model. Only accessory was cruise, which we don't use when moving with camper. The bench seats all have the fold down center arm rest. We have a load rating of 10,000 lbs total, truck + camper, which is about what we run when camper is loaded. Also have air bags, which helps with bed height and stability. Our next truck will be a F350 because of the stronger suspension and axle and wheel/tires. But...........in 19 years of F250 with various campers, we have never had a problem with a 2900 lb camper (loaded for a trip) and towing and 1700 lb. boat. Never had felt unsure. That being said, if I get a 4wd, it takes too much load capacity from 250, which is why I will get a 350.
