The larger campers

[GULFMAN]

I have a 2002 f350 dually, 7.3 PS, 4 wheel drive, 4door.
Would like to go to a larger TC with slides 2 or 3. Instead of putting after market parts on the F350 would the new 2015 F450 be a option.

Thanks

I went with a used 1999 F550 to replace my F350 and am glad I did. I put my 5000 Lb Caribou on it and it doesn't even squat at all.
Forgot to mention $7K.

I've been told the 2 slide Host is lighter than equivalent 1 slide Arctic Fox.

450 can carry less but pull more.

2016 Should be different with the throwback F450 like Jim has.

To drill down on that comment, I've seen responses that indicate that it matters dramatically what year the F350 is for that statement to be true. Check for yourself to be sure.
