Are you sure? Ford sold a camper package and heavy weight ratings for years and years using just 16" wheels. I don't see how it would be a wheel rating issue, unless it was just a result of a lack of 17" tires with the proper load rating. I haven't shopped for any 17" tires, so I don't know what's available.

You sure? I though I read this about the 18" wheels and the camper option. Maybe on the 250 18" are optional but on the 350 18s are standard due to the "increased" carrying capacity of the 350? I swear I read this about the 18" wheels haha
