Im a proud owner of an 03 F250 with a Powerjoke 6.0.  You may have the mighty Cummins engine but the rest of the truck is nothing to beat your chest about.

Here is a video to show you. (You can see my Torque lifts in the back)

I have a 99 7.3 powerstroke that is an amazing truck! It hauls a big load and tows my boat.
It always cracks me up when people always talk smack about power strokes when they don't know all the facts. Average rebuild of a 7.3 is 380,000 miles, and that's if you don't take care of them. As far as weight capacity my truck is rated at 9900 lbs. I haul a 2014 arctic fox 811 and tow my 25 foot chapparal boat behind it at 70 mph cruise set. It works well. Everyone should be proud of their trucks because they all serve their purpose.

Type of Tiedowns used: none
Truck and Camper Setup: still planning it out



I did search and found some info but not quite what I needed so sorry if this post/question is redundant. I have a 96 dodge 2500 cummins 2wd SRW long bed with air bags on the back and E1 16" tires rated for about 3k lbs. Trying to figure out how much camper I can get away with. Most the ones I like are around 3k lbs but I'm getting the impression that would be a rough ride and or dangerous. The two I was looking at are Lance 990 and 980, someone let me know if I'm dumb for looking at those.

Type of Tiedowns used: Torklift
Truck and Camper Setup: Dodge Ram 2500 CTD with 3500 springs, Ride-Rite Airbags, Upper Torklift Stableloads, Torklift frame mounts and Super Hitch w/ 48" Super Truss 2005 Lance 1121 with a slide out, two awnings, Onan genny, solar panel, and well........ lots of other stuff.......



Your '96 will do fine with a 3000 lbs. camper. I ran a 3200 lbs. S&S camper with my 2000 Ram2500 QC LB SRW CTD for over 6 years with zero issues. Be sure to check the actual max load amount for your "E" rated tires. Make sure what ever your rear axle weight is that it doesn't exceed what the two rear tires are rated for. I also run air bags to help level the load out. And remember to never "over drive" your truck when loaded.

My current camper is a Lance 1121 that weighs in at 4200 lbs. loaded with all water and gear. And I'm still using the same 2000 CTD, and it pulls the weight better than fine. Although I'm in the process of up grading to 19.5 Rickson wheels and tires.
