Three-Quarter-Ton Truck
The 2500-series pickup truck class — Ford F-250, Chevy Silverado 2500, Ram 2500. Three-quarter-ton trucks offer significantly more payload (typically 2,500-4,000 lbs) and a stiffer suspension than half-tons, making them the workhorse choice for most slide-in truck campers. They handle hard-side campers with reasonable comfort and can tow a small trailer behind the camper. The 2500 class is the most popular truck choice among serious truck camper owners.
