Before this is all over, I’m sure u will be told to get the 3/4 well no it will be a 3500 dually diesel... lol jk guys. Seriously though some newer 1/2 tons will be fine for that. A 3/4 gas or diesel will work but most likely overkill unless u plan to get a larger camper in the future. Big area on all truck is payload. Check on your camper how much tongue weight it will put on the truck plus the extras that you carry. Passengers, toys ect... most half ton trucks give u minimal 1500 lbs payload, some up to 2400. While some diesel 3/4 tons have a payload of 2400.... cause of the weight of the engine. Gas 3/4 will give you 2900 at least. Don’t get caught up in the hype of how much any vehicle will tow... the manufacturer always uses the most base of trucks to get that number. Ford does offer a nice equipped 1/2 ton F150 with ecoboost with a great payload over 2k. Hope this helps, I’m sure others will chime in.
