I owned a F150 6 cyl short bed 3 spd manually tranny. Loved the truck. I built a camper for the truck. I got carried away. The camper weighed over 2500 lbs. Could that truck handle the camper with Firestone ride rites? Yup. I put about 30,000 miles on that PU hauling that camper all over AZ & CA. It did the job but the truck was almost junk at about 40,000 miles. They will do the job but they aren't built to take the beating. BTW that was an 8 1/2 ft camper on a 6 ft bed. A little light on the front wheels. :B
