2015 F250 Match

If you had a f250 2015 Ford sup cab 4x2 upper lower tork lift adds plus bags for a hard side camper to be a good match.
  • If you're asking for a camper recommendation for your truck, I'd have to ask if it's a regular or short bed, and if it's a diesel or gas, as well as which transmission? Do you know your capacities? Just from a brand perspective I've had two Lances and am getting a new one ordered shortly as I just really like the quality of their product.
  • With the camper package on my F250, I could haul my 4000 lb Arctic Fox with only the upper and lower StableLoads. I had Firestone airbags only to handle a heavy hitch weight trailer behind the truck. Watch your tire and rim capacity once you start approaching 7000 lbs on the rear axle - I went to 19.5" wheels due to my towing.
  • Wolf Creek, by Northwood Manufacturing.
    Often, floor plan is a deciding factor. They have versions for an 8' bed and the shorter beds. Same people that manufacture the Arctic Fox, but Wolf Creeks are lighter (thinner walls, less insulation, but 4-season "rated") and less expensive.
    The only time I weighed our rig, the rear axle was 5,660 pounds. GVW was 10,200 pounds, which is 200 over the GVWR. This included 3/4 tank of gas, empty holding tanks, both truck occupants (350#), about 70% of our camping gear, dual propane and two batteries (group 27). It's become heavier, I'm certain, plus I tow a 3,000 pound trailer (about 350# tongue weight in addition to the weighed 10,200). I'm comfortable driving it and power isn't an issue. The upper StableLoads are installed and a set of rubber-baby-buggy-bumpers have replaced the factory axle bump-stops. I've considered the lower StableLoads.
    No two rigs are the same. Do you lean towards caution, or have faith that ratings have a fudge factor, figured in by the Engineers/manufacturers?
