I've got a 2000 F250 Supercab V10, bed length approx 6.5". I'm interested in buying a used camper. I found an information sheet in my owners manual with instructions for camper loading/matching. Right above the instructions it says "YOUR PICKUP IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CARRYING SLIDE-IN CAMPERS". What's up with that? Do all pickup manufacturers say this just to cover themselves from liability? Please help, I'm itching to go camping!!

I carry a 3000lb lance 820 on my F250 4x4 crewcab standard bed
7.3 . I did do mods to the truck which are
Air bags
KYB shocks
Roadmaster sway bars front & rear
torklift stable loads
Drive great

my 99 f350 quad cab dually w/ 7.3l deisel says the same thing.

funny thing is a few years ago i rented a trailer from uhaul to haul a car, there system said my f350 didnt meet there standards. but my 93 dodge regular cab dually did. go figure. (i used my f350 anyways)

03 F250 short bed also. 9' camper on the back.

I installed F350 rear sway bar and bags.
