What are you going to use that TC for?
Do you have enough truck for it? Many first timers have made that mistake including myself.
Our Lance 815 was the best suited for us in 2002 and has served us very well over the years and across a many rought roads. Since our is a wooden frame unit any repairs have been fairly easy to do myself.
Since you have a Ford,as I do, take in consideration Ford's in famous frame flex that will add more stress to a TC in back country wanderings.
Cab height is to be checked more so on a Ford, on my 2004 F250 I had to add a 1-1/2" spacer to rase my TC to keep cabover space at a reasonable openning, on my 2007 F250(4x4) I ended up building a 4" platform to keep the cab and cabover from slapping.
Any further question for me, just PM me. Good Luck in your hunt for that suitable TC.
