Truck Camper for F-250
I'm looking to get into truck camping. I really like the versatility of a truck camper over a tow-behind camper...especially for some of the mountain campsites I go to. I currently have a 2012 F-1...

Jump into an F-350, get the camper you want and worry less. I'd skip the whole dually thing unless you want a giant 11 foot, double slide camper. Sure you get six tires and truck that is all but useless for hauling anything but a camper or six horse trailer.
As far as other brands of truck. With a GM or Dodge product their is an actual difference in the equipment between the 3/4ton and the one ton pick-up. A GM/Chevy 3/4 ton truck is an upsized 1/2 ton truck. Dodge is similar.
Ford suspension part numbers are identical for either 250/350 suspension parts, springs and axles. You get a different badge and more weight on the GVWR sticker with a Ford.
More weight means more taxes, fees and higher registration costs over the life of the truck. Check the truck prices, they are shockingly the same on Ford.
The comment about GM and Ram HDs being upgraded half tons is laughable. It's obvious that you're a Ford guy, but lol, really?
Don't spread misinformation floating in blue kool aid!
