Arctic fox truck camper 990 or 992?
We are considering buying a 2016 992 vs a 2017 990 TC. I have been over the floor plans, weight and other specs. Still indecisive. it is for true 4 season camping in Yukon and Alaska with 2 adults ...

Thank you everyone for your opinions - they are always good fuel for thought! Im learning a lot from your experience.
We got a 3500 DRW with 410, hope it will serve us well w growing family and off road. now working on details for TC including solar panel, tie downs... we are told we don't need Torque lift "stable load" by our dealer but Arctic Fox says we do... any thoughts?
Stable loads are suspension enhancements, basically a wedge or spacer that engage the overload springs earlier in the suspension travel to reduce sag under load.
IMO you'll be able to pack the camper wherever you want without any enhancements and gen decide what if any route you want to go. (But driving it from down here to way up there, may consider it before the trip just for your comfort or peace of mind).
If you're talking torklift tie down brackets, there are other options. I believe the torklift are the most popular. Mine are well built and do the job. I wanted to be hooked to the frame, not the bedI wanted to be hooked to the frame, not the bed and the cheesy new bumpers on these trucks like other systems.
You pick d the most capable truck for sure! It will haul a big camper with comfort and ease.
FYI, the Happyjac (if that is what you are referring to), bolts to the bed and the frame, at least mine does and I agree, the bumpers on newer trucks are tinfoil. For sure the Troklift rear mounts or receiver hitch extensions. My bud's 2014 Ford, we slipped square tubing into his hitch sides and used the tubing for rear tie down mounts.
