In the real world, you gain nothing, all the factories do on a 3-series is put a little more spring in them. They do not have heavier duty axles. Your truck is entirely capable of hauling whatever camper fits on it, it may want some springs or airbags.
However, a long bed opens up a lot better options for camper hauling.
This was true when talking his generation of Ram. May still be that way with Ram and GM, but Ford actually does add a larger rear M300 axle over the M275 in the F250’ without the max tow package which is rare anyway. Plus overloads and the 3” factory hitch. Some early job 1 F250’s got the 3” hitch but not anymore.
So you actually get more truck now with at least Ford, didn’t research the other two enough to speak to them.
