Really REALLY pay attention to the rear truck bed opening width vis a vis your existing (or contemplated) truck camper rear tub width (as Kohldad writes, above). You can get the truck bed widths from truck manufacturer's up-fitter web databases (like GM body builder up-fitter drawings for all years light-duty truck models, here--> )
Thanks for the advice. I'll measure out the rear truck bed opening, the bed rail height, and the bed floor to cab top +2"-3".

Usually you want 2-3" clearance above the cab.
Make sure you check out Texas. Have heard lots of stories where one saved money by flying to Texas to pick up their truck. Lots of big dealers down there do a fantastic job properly documenting the truck so you get what you are expecting when you arrive in town.
Thanks and I will starting looking at Texas. My Brother in Law lives near Houston so I actually could fly there, couch surf for a couple days and drive home.

I have a 2011 Ford F250 and a 2010 Lance 825 and I don't have any box issues with height. But if you are looking at different trucks get the F 350.
Thanks and that is good news, I don't think they changed the bed or cab since then so maybe I'll get lucky.
Thanks for all the advice, I'll see what 1-tons I can track down and add that to my search mix.
