One-Ton Truck
The 3500-series pickup truck class — Ford F-350, Chevy Silverado 3500, Ram 3500 — often available with dual rear wheels (dually). One-ton trucks provide the highest payload capacity (3,500-7,000+ lbs) and can carry virtually any truck camper made, including multi-slide hard-sides with full residential features. Dually configurations offer excellent stability but require wider camper models. If you want the biggest, most feature-rich camper, a one-ton is your truck.
