Northstar 850SC on 2015 Ford F-150 truck
The camper dry weight at 1700 is under the 2100 pound payload capacity, but wet and loaded weight with my kayaks and all would be about 2700 pounds. Getting the Ford maximum payload package for $3000...

If your buying the 150 hopefully its a 4x4 for good mileage and not hauling the camper a lot I'd say get a set of 3000 lb wheels,LT E rated tires and air bags, go for it. But if your going to use the truck camper a lot I'd go for the heavier truck, a 250 has the same drive line as the 1 ton but sits lower.
Not quite, the F250 has a lower rated rear axle then the F350SRW does...6290lbs vs 7180lbs.
They rate the 250 lower, but the axles are identical. As far as I know, the only difference is the spacer block between the springs and axle (2" block on F-250 and 4" block on F-350).
