Thanks for the input, I have read many threads here from those who are trying to get a TC on a 3/4 ton truck that is better off on a 1 ton so I appreciate the perspective.
I'm looking for a truck with some factory warranty remaining for under $30,000 so even 3/4 tons are few and far between. A DRW truck is out of the question for several reasons not related to the camper.
Maybe I should clarify a bit, my family has been bit by the camper bug (not exclusively the TC bug). If we upgrade, it would be the smallest bumper tow toy hauler I can find with enough room for an UTV. The TC I have now was intended for half ton trucks (listed at 1535lbs FWTW) so weight and handling hasn't been an issue. I don't expect to grow into a larger TC.
If I was looking at a SRW F-250 or F-350, is there a guaranteed fit issue or is it on some campers and not others? If I took measurements at the dealer, how much room would be recommended between the top and cab and bottom of sleeper?
Even if it did fit, I'm not even sure if my jacks even be able to get the camper on/off the truck.
