Hesitant owner of 1/2 ton, need 3/4 ton?
I have that other thread going about sleeping under a camper shell topper and how practical it might be. I have 2008 Nissan Titan, which seems to have plenty of power but maybe the frame of a 1/2 ton ...

Looks like F350's and duallys is the most popular... I guess you would most definitely want 4X4 drive. I have always wanted to go with the truck camper as it would really fit in great with my OFF-ROAD type camping. Probably the most secure way to do it safety wise... You are not alone anymore camping off-road around here locally.
I see alot of the very long beds with duallys under most of the Truck campers photos...
I love my F150 with 6.5 foot bed and super cab layout so I never really could get into the truck campers as bad as I would love to have one..
I also would have the other problems with truck campers and that is what to do to run around the neighbor in after you setup camp and how do you carry all of the must have items along with you... Truck campers are lacking for inside storage space it seems.
My F150 rear bed, back seat area, and my POPUP trailer large front deck area will carry some serious supplies.
If I ever went with the truck camper I would be wanting to pull my Jeep Wrangler behind it all the time but then there would be where would I carry all of my extra 'MUST HAVE' supplies to support my somewhat LARGER off-road setups and my other 'hobby' being ham radio operations. This would require me to have an enclosed trailer being pulled behind the truck camper. Then how would I be able to tow my Jeep.
Someone suggested getting one of those hugh utility flat bed trailers and carry your Jeep and Camper on it- All of the space you have under the overcab bed area would be tons of of room for all those extra supplies..
might look something like this google image...
Or get a longer flat bed trailer and carry the Jeep too...
Kinda defeats the purpose of having a truck camper I would think.
SO here I sit dreaming about having a Truck Camper haha...
