There I was test driving a 2016 Ford F250 Super Duty with 8 foot bed. My girlfriend looks in the glove box and finds a single sheet of paper, the heading of which says, "Not recommended for slide in campers".

Back at the dealership, we get the "it is just for legal protection" speech. When we looked at the weight capacity of this truck, we found also the Lance camper we intended to put on the truck overloads it, even at the camper's dry weight.

Is a dual rear tire F350 or equivalent the only way to go? Are all/most 3/4 ton trucks overloaded and potentially top heavy with a 2500+ pound camper attached?

If that Ford truck doesn't have the camper package on don't buy, your warranty will be void by Ford if they find out your hauling a camper around. Get one with the camper package installed you get better suspension system with the camper package to help with the addition camper weight.

When we were looking for a new truck in 2007 I when to a friend of mine that was a fleet manager for Fritts Ford and told him what we were looking for. His responds was he'll find one with the camper package on because Ford would void the truck warranty on it without the camp package on the truck. They have to legally tell you that you can kiss your new truck warranty goodbye without having the camper package thus the "disclaimer."
