I've done a lot of research and should be good. If not, I'll do something else. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

I'm staying with my decision which works for my needs. Thanks for your input.

A slide in camper is perfectly fine if you want one. No added cost for the extra axle, easier to get in and out where I want to go, no added registration hassles, slide on and off as needed in 20-30 minutes, etc. I've completed the weight calculations and the solution for my needs and interests...

I might be able to reduce 50-75lbs taking our the rear seats?!

camper weight with all components is 1,480lbs out of the 1,709lbs available. Food, gear, water, and two people will likely be @ 500 lbs. Total payload will be @ 1,980lbs or 371lbs over. GVWR is 7150lbs so I think I'll be about 5.2% over. That's without the upgrades (tires, airbags, and sway bar...

The cost, license, insurance, tougher to get in and out of the places I go, etc.. At this point it isn't worth it. But I'll have to see. Thanks.

That's why I'm looking for people who know because I'm trying to figure it out.

Okay, thanks! Road Active Suspension Leaf Spring helper instead of Airbags/Sway Bar/ etc? I'm not an experienced on this stuff but I'm quickly learning.

I've thought about that and it may be an option. But then I think I need to register it, etc..

3.5L V6

I hear ya. If it comes to that I'll likely upgrade to an F250 because one thing leads to another. I'm all about trying to stay within the mfg specs.

Trust me, I'm not looking or trying to go over the GVWR. I may need to scale some components back, drive without extra water until I need it, add food as needed, remove the crew cab seats to gain some weight, etc.. We'll see how it goes.

Will do. Have you experience with this?

My payload capacity is 1708lbs and I'm likely going to hit or slightly exceed it with this newly developed composite slide-in camper trailer. I've always camped out of my F150's. I'm older now and looking forward to using this camper (pictured on the builders 2014 F150). It'll be a tall rig and...

I just purchased a slide-in fully composite trailer for my 2023 F150 Lariat 4x4 with a 6.5 bed. My payload capacity is 1708 and I'm likely going to exceed it when the camper build is finished Spring 2025. All the forums I've read say you can't increase payload capacity which is true. However, in...

I'm looking at this tire along with BF Goodrich Duratrac RT-LT, Cooper Discoverer AT3 LT, Firestone Destination X/T. I need a 10 ply or E rated tire for high load capacity, strong winter and wet weather capability, and good on road performance that's quiet with 50K+ range. I only expect about...
