Effect of Tire and wheel size question.
I am ordering a new truck( F250) with camper pkg for an Artic Fox 811. (Will be loaded very close to factory limit or slightly over) I did a limited search but could not find much discussion on tire...

Thanks for the input on the weight issue. I will consider a 350 but I didn't want that much truck all the time. I will reconsider the numbers after the clear advice.
If you don't want a truck that is rated to carry the load, you don't want the load, either.
A 1 ton gets you 1500 more pounds of payload. That is all you need to know besides the empty weight of the truck to decide. Depending on how the truck is optioned, that can be a big deal. If you're going to buy a regular cab, 2wd, gasoline, automatic transmission, maybe it's not such a big deal. But add a crew cab, 4wd, a diesel engine, and other options, and that 1500 pounds is critical.
