I literally broke the rear axle in my F150 I used to haul a camper on when I was young and crazy.

They have one small wheel bearing on each side, rather than two large ones like the 250/350 trucks.
And the axle shaft actually carries the weight, rather than “floating” with no weight on it, only providing the power like on the 250/350 trucks that have a big hub that takes the weight instead.
That’s why you don’t want a 150 for a camper. It’s not just numbers in the book.
