Biggest truck camper not for f450 550
I've noticed people saying that an f450/550 is needed for the heaviest truck campers?? You guys realize that the f-350 dually has a higher payload right?

Finally, someone gave us a Reality Check! It is not all about the payload. Tires, brakes, steering and gearing are important too.
Payload factors in tires, brakes, steering, and gearing so you don't have to think about those things.
If the truck is designed to handle XXXXlbs of payload, then it is expected to keep that payload off the ground, stop the payload in a reasonable distance, allow the driver to reliably maneuver the payload under all but the most extreme of driving conditions, and accelerate that payload at a reasonable rate.
Rated payload capacities on pickup trucks are well below the limits of tires, brakes, steering and gearing. It's when you start throwing aftermarket add-ons that change the characteristics of the truck, that you can get into trouble.
