2002 Lance 1025 on new Ford F-250 with camper package?

Hi, I'm looking at a used 2002 Lance 1025 that comes with an old 1995 GMC Sierra 2500. We're also looking at ordering a new 2021 F-250 gas 4x4 long bed with the camper package and 18" tires - would we be able to use the 1025 on our new truck? It looks like the 2002 1025 weighs 2,467 lbs with a 10'6" length.

Should I be worried about getting an older camper that doesn't fit a new truck, or does every Lance camper fit all years of Ford trucks? Thanks!

    No reason for an F250 if you are ordering a new truck. An F350 is not much more in price but adds a lot more capability - yet unloaded, there's no appreciable difference in ride or driveability.

    If you are entering TC World and buying new truck, get at least F350.
    I would even suggest DRW as too many members here after years of struggling how to modify their SRW to carry heavy camper -ended with dually after all.
    Dry 2400lb camper very likely will come to 4000 lb when loaded.
