I could say "buyer beware Arctic fox. Smashes your truck bed!" Because my camper has dented the bed bottom and tailgate due to its weight and the rubber bumpers on the front aren't sufficient to hold the camper off the front of the bed when it works its way forward a bit in rough travels. Instead, I just threw a board across the front to keep the camper where I want it.
Yup, I hear you. On my Ram I added one inch plywood the entire width and length of the bed under the rubber mat including the width beyond the wheel wells to better spread out the weight to the full width of the bed. And added a 1x6 in front of the bumpers and it ended my bed dents. My camper was not an AF but it was still 4000 plus pounds. After that no more issues. I never posted anything on RV.net or anywhere else, made a four minute or any video, or complained that the bed was not strong enough or the camper was too heavy or anything. I just fixed it and moved on. That is the way non-complainers solve issues.
