calling all ford owners
I'm only interested in a ford. Please tell me what model/ year ford truck you use to haul your truck camper. I'm looking at this used 2003 f350 dually, but i'm concerned with many negative reviews...

A diesel and any sort of 'extra' cab space reduces payload.
Diesel are good at proving torque. Torque is needed when pulling a load. You will be carrying a load not pulling a load.
Payload is the critical item.
You should buy a camper before the truck then you will know the payload the truck can carry before you buy the truck. If you are set on a 'big' camper you will need a 350 dually.
I have a 250 single and it carries my 10' rig nicely. With airbags and upgraded rims and tires.
My advice wold be to buy a gasoline standard cab.
The payload limitation on the F250 is due to the Class 2b limit of 10k lbs GVWR. The rear axle is loaded pretty much the same whether you have a standard cab or crew or whether have a diesel or gasser. If you watch your rear axle capacity and choice of tires, the rest of the truck really doesn't matter because the rear axle will get about the same amount of weight.
For those forum members that are in a province that takes GVWR labels as legal limit, they should be the only ones concerned. The rest of the members can register for their desired weight and pay for their share of road wear.
