Unfortunately I don't have the camper yet. Its scheduled for delivery next month. So I cant help you. Maybe someone else will chime in.

Looks like I might be stuck with a F150 to match with a Raven. The F250 and F350 dont have a 5.5' bed. Which means Dodge is likely the same story.

Okay, I'm glad I have that clear now. With that said; I will still plan to take delivery of the camper and will immediately start looking at better truck options. I'll still be under payload during that initial drive, and of course will take safety precautions as well. But I won't put this F150...

Thanks for your opinions. Should've mentioned my truck is a Powerboost Hybrid. So it has the 300 pound battery (?) already onboard matched with the 3.5L engine. That supplies 2.4kw of power to several outlets including a couple in the rear of the truck bed. In a Ford forum, several owners are...
