Well, almost 20 years since I bought my last RV, I'm trying to find my dream last exploring rig. I had class C's, class A's and the last one was a Chinook 21 foot. This time I really wanted to go the 4WD truck and camper route, to get back in to see some places off the beaten path. (Not that I...
I have recently acquired an Outfitter Caribou 6.5 pop-up slide in truck camper. I am now in the search for a new truck to manage such a camper safely and efficiently.
We’ve landed in an F-150
Specifically a 2018 or newer F-150 with the following options:
-6.5 ft bed
-SuperCrew cab
-5.0L V8...
I know there are a lot of posts about this, but any additional advice would be much appreciated. I'm looking at a used 6 ft. Hawk shell to put on a 5.5 ft. bed of a crew cab F150. My truck has a payload of a little over 2,000 lbs. The Hawk is roughly half that, so I'm not worried about payload...

Okay, so I have not given up yet on the Armada or maybe even an Expedition. But, we are going out tomorrow to just SHOP for a tow vehicle. We need to look at & drive the F-150, but I'll be fighting it all the way.
Looked it up in the Trailer Life Towing Guides anddddddd Good Grief.

I am about to take delivery of an Imagine XLS 23bhe - very excited to get started camping in this rig with my family.
My TV is an F150 3.5L Ecoboost with Max Tow Package and 1,618 payload (I have already done all the math and worksheets on this and I am comfortable with the TV choice, so...
We are thinking of upgrading to the Imagine XLS 23bhe. My F150 has the max tow package and 3.5L Ecoboost with a 1,618 max payload. I have upgraded the suspension to an ICON setup front and back.
The advertised specs for the trailer is 5,325 dry weight, 6,995 max weight and a 504 pound tongue...
My current setup is a '16 Ford Expedition EL with max tow package towing a GD2800BH with WDH. She does pretty well, but I am toeing the limit on payload and am beginning to research a new TV. The 3.5l Ecoboost tows like a dream but my suspension is obviously at its limit as driving down the road...
If you have a 2017-2020 F150 157" wb (crew cab, short bed) I can give you a great deal on a 2019 MaxTow 36 gal fuel tank w/heat shield in excellent condition w/a new pump/sender.
We traded the F150 in before I installed it. Have a 2-post lift if you want to pick it up and install it the same...
After about a year of dreaming and waffling, my girlfriend and I dropped in on a truck camper combo. I'll save the full backstory, but here's the gist. We are weekenders, living in a city in the PNW. Summers are spent climbing, winters spent skiing.
We had romanticized a real vehicle for...
Question for you F150/F250/F350 owners out there. Are there any special instructions for mounting on current generation F150s?
I bought a used Hawk a few years ago and I am now upgrading the truck to a 2021 F150 Heavy Duty Payload Package. At the time I ordered the mounting kit from FWC and...

I'm looking at putting a 2017 Outfitter Caribou Lite 8 on a 2013 Ford F150 crew cab, 6.5' bed. https://outfittermfg.com/shop-campers/caribou-lite-8 The camper weighs about 1200 lbs. Attached are the weight rating stickers for my F150 crew cab, 6.5' bed. It looks like the total weight it can...
I'm looking at putting a 2013 Alaskan 8.5' on a 2013 Ford F150, 6.5' bed. I plan to upgrade the truck suspension to handle the weight, but I also want to be sure the camper's center of gravity is not behind the rear wheels. That would cause lift off the front wheels and bad for steering of...

I drive a super crew 2019 Ford F150 6.5 bed. Looking at getting into truck camping. I'm looking a reasonably price truck camper (if there is such a thing) close enough to the east cost. I'm open to types. Just a shell would be fine or something mounted to the bedsides. I just need to be able to...
My Grand RV - Grand Design RV Forum, RV LIFE Forum HubF150 and 2670mk
My husband and I have been looking to upgrade our trailer for a couple of years now and we have been looking at the Grand Designs. The one I really love is the 2670mk but we are concerned about whether we can do it with our truck or not. I realize a 250 would haul it better but the truck is also...
Situation: traded 2018 f150 2wd 5.0L tow pkg for 2019 f150 FX4 off road 5.0L tow pkg (not max tow as that requires 3.5TT engine).
Both have same size bed, wheels, etc, etc. No other differences.
Tow gear: Curt model 17500 WDH with integrated sway bars, exact same gear as used with the 2018...

We just picked up our brand new Transcend 29TBS yesterday. Can’t wait to take it out camping. Our TV is a 2018 F150 with a 3:55 gr and 145 wb, max trailer tow package using a Blue Ox WD. I’ll be updating as we go, as i know there are a few people interested in F150 as a TV for this unit.
Ok i recently started a purchase on a floor model shell. My issue is drilling holes in my aluminum bed and putting in steel eyebolts. This will cause galvanic corrosion no matter what they say they are drilling a hole and creating a contact between two metals. I have placed my 3k non refundable...
We're in the process of purchasing a 2400BH. Our tow vehicle is a 2016 F150 5L V8 with payload of 1884lbs and tow capacity of 8900. Gear ratio is 3.31; FX4 package. GVWR of 7000lbs. I did review various online calculators including Ford's interactive PDF and the numbers checkout. I was...
Goodbye Tacoma. You were fun and nimble to drive but I want POWER and fuel mileage. Just completed the transplant to the new beastly F-150 powerstroke. Even with a mild uphill grade loaded it just purrs along in 10th gear. Getting 20 mpg with cruise on 74mph. Will likely drop when I level and...
