Just a couple of points to ad to this great comment.klahanie said:Welcome LosAngeles !
Can you provide more detail on fuel economy with that setup. Interesting that you find the Grandby ok with the shorter bed. Do you have the extra payload package?BBZ said:I have an old Granby (totally gutted and restored) on a 14 F150 SC 6.5 Bed.. Ours is very light, less than 1000 lbs..
We have the 5.0 motor and very little gas mileage drop until you hit 70 mph +
Its the 6.5 bed, the biggest you can get with the Super Crew in an F150.. The truck has the standard payload capacity (1570 i believe).Vic Harder said:Can you provide more detail on fuel economy with that setup.

to the best of my knowledge - if you custom order the F150, with "increased payload capacity" option....BBZ said:Its the 6.5 bed, the biggest you can get with the Super Crew in an F150.. The truck has the standard payload capacity (1570 i believe).
When loaded we are under the vehicle weight, but just barely.. (thats with 2 adults, 2 dogs and gear.. ).
Truck averages just over 18 mph for its life so far (60k). My driving is probably a 50/50 mix of city/highway
With camper on right around 16.. again, if I go over 70 that changes fast.
