If that means 9.5 feet, is it the length that sits in the truck bed, or the total length? 9.5 feet in the truck bed is a pretty long camper, and definitely too long for a 6.5 bed (not even considering the weight)
Likely too long, yes. Definitely, no.
There are plenty of 11.5-12' long campers in 8' truck beds.
It's more dependent on the weight dist of the camper, structural integrity of the camper in the area that would overhang and whether the tailgate can be left in place to help support it.
Still too much camper for the truck, weight wise though.
