Re: "Slide in truck camper not recommended for this truck"

You'll want to check the sticker inside your door frame for the answer. The giveaway that it's a "light duty" model is that the GVWR is listed as 6600 pounds, rather than (if I remember right) more than 8000 for a standard F250 of this vintage. I had a leaf professionally built and added to mine, as well as a transmission cooler, because I was overly sentimental about using this particular truck I have (it was my dad's), and plus mine has less than 50K miles on it, so it's like a new truck. But check your door, it may be rated for less than you might think and may need some surgery to perform as you'd like. .....It's a HD 8600 gvwr front and rear sway bar tranny cooler.But I'm sure its gonna need some surgery:)513Views0likes0CommentsRe: "Slide in truck camper not recommended for this truck"

Stopped great,drove around curvy mountain roads great, had plenty of power on the grades and was a great overall truck.I only sold it because I needed a Bigger truck. It never would have occured to me that it was not recommended to haul a camper. I used to haul pallets of cement with that truck all day,I think that is about 3500 lbs.? .......Its a reg cab gasser long bed.351Views0likes0CommentsRe: Finally bought my first truck camper
