They said they get asked about it all the time and they couldn't be happier. They were experienced campers and apparently did their research telling me there was a certain package for the F-150 (maybe only available for a short time around 2012 because they had trouble actually finding the truck) that made the truck everything they needed. I am sure their camper was heavier than mine and we were camping on top of a mountain. They said they had no problems on the highway or going up mountains. So it's possible.
