Made for your half ton truck ;-)
It has started to dawn on me that when manufacturers say a camper is 'made for 1/2 tons' what they mean is that it will physically fit in the truck bed....not that it will be within your payload capac...

What makes no sense is to continue to speak of 1/2, 3/4, and one ton trucks, as 150/1500, 250/2500, and 3,500. Look to the specifications not some arbitrary, often market driven badge.
Yeah.....Some folks have it in their mind a half ton truck is a certain GVWR/GAWR package and for whatever reasons cannot accept the fact 1500 trucks come in all sizes of GVWRs/GAWRs.
Fords F150 comes in 17 different GVWRs packages from 6450 up to 8200 lbs.
Fords F150 comes with 4 different RAWR packages from 3500 to 4800 lbs
Now add GM 1500HD trucks and Dodges 1500 Mega cab I mentioned above and we still have a few folks refuse to believe what the specs tells us.
Same with Fords 3500 SRW with a dozen or more different GVWR packages from 10000 lb up to 11500 lbs and three different RAWR packages. These trucks are still a one ton SRW truck.
The Ram 3500 SRW goes on up to 12400 GVWR.....buts its still a one ton SRW truck.
Truck makers don't make a fake size truck.
