Camper Package on F-350
Looking at used F-350 Dually's for my camper. Not seeing many with the camper package. Anyone found a solution to modify F-350 for that so it can carry large camper safely?

Haha, won’t argue the srw vs drw with ya…I’ve been arguing the same as you for years. However the wider track DOES take some of the body roll out of it. Is it 50%? Idk maybe not but part of the sway or body roll is suspension and part is tires and a dually can/does have more tire capacity and a wider base.
Although the OP has 19.5s he can reuse and obviously ain’t skeered like some folks because he been running this setup for a long time on a srw.
Plus given he says he still uses it for daily duties it sounds like, a srw sounds like the best overall choice. Balancing all the uses and taking into account availability.
Regarding gas vs diesel I think he was making a different point. Yes has gets stale. That probably isn’t a concern. He done has had a gasser for a while and wants one again.
Cost IS the issue. Spend $10-15k more for the same truck that needs more maintenance and you don’t need the extra grunt and the risk of expensive emissions issues and most of all a CP4 ticking away under the hood!! BOOM!! Oops, I’ll take “What was that noise for $10k, Alex.”
What I didn’t acknowledge earlier is if he’s looking at new enough models to get a 7.3 or 6.8 gasser, they are more popular and plentiful than the outgoing 6.2. So better chance of finding what he’s after.
But I’d take a clean low mile 6.2 6R140 all day long and twice on Sundays if I found one. Nothing wrong with them!
The V10 has not any issues in over 20 years. Not scary to drive can go 65 on the freeway. Didn't like the OEM brakes though so I went with Powerstop brakes front and rear and that improved the stopping power a lot.
2022 F-350's with 7.3 & 10 speed transmission are going for about $64K with 20k-40k miles on them.
A new one runs 75k-85k depending on what features you want.
You’d be best to doo a more thorough search my man. Unless maybe a KR CC 4wd 7.3 dually, that’s Highway robbery.
Heck you can buy new Tradssman or Bighorn Ram diesel duallies for the same $ or less.
Also was ‘22 first year model of the Godzilla? Not bad just be ware of the few things they had issues with out of the gate.Yeah I was looking at Lariat and King Ranch CC 4x4 duallys.
I did see one 6.2 CC 4x4 KR dually that was 10k cheaper but also 1500 miles from home. I know about the early godzilla models issues mostly on the commercial rigs but still some failing on all of them. I think they fixed it in 2023 and later models.
This forum seems convoluted the way posts are displayed. Difficult to follow discussion.
Ya it’s a complete mess. Like whoever formatted it is dyslexic or something.
