My previous truck was 2007 F350 originally C&C. Those come with longer wheelbase and stronger springs, so I never had to worry about overloading it with my camper, scaled for camping at 5600 lb
Driving that truck empty was making my dentist smile if you catch the trend.
So when my new F350 dually come, I was a bit worry about standard suspension carrying the camper, but turn that as long as I kept holding tanks empty, full of fresh water = no handling problem and it is 1-hand driving.
Empty driving is still truck-like, but I am planning to save on dentist expenses.
Technology change on weekly basis those days and since I started researching 2016 models, so my 2017 truck is way more advanced. Better GPS, TPMS, voice recognition, I order trailer towing pck and that gives you "satellite" view for parking.
Do you want to hear about beating Mustangs, while having 7000 lb cargo trailer behind?
