IIRC every dealer should have a booklet for thier trucks that lists every possible camper loading situation. I obtained one from Dodge years ago. If you get one of these for your Ford, you could look for a truck model with wheelbase, engine, transmission etc that closest resembles your truck in order to get an idea of the specifications.
My truck has the snow plow prep option which does not allow a camper package, hence I have the dubious "not recommended" disclaimer sheet. But I was able to find an almost exact TC loading diagram for the same options as my truck for the camper optioned truck to compare.
d3500ram,
You hit the nail on the head. Yes, they should have a booklet, and you'd think they would, but not all do. No one at this dealership was familiar with the loading tables I got from the Ford Truck forum. Furthermore, they said the "not recommended" form was simply boilerplate that Ford included to avoid liability in case I was speeding with my TC loaded (despite me pointing out that it was VIN specific). The example camper certification I got from a member on the forum was the first they'd ever seen.
I'm hoping to find what you found: a diagram for a similar truck.
