Thinking about buying!! *HELP*
Looking at buying a used ecoboost fx4, but want to get everyone's opinion on it before I put the money down. It is a 2014 with 10000 miles on it. Also thinking about hauling a slide in camper in the bed. Want some opinions if I should hold out for a max tow truck? Tell me what you think, more opinions the better.
Here's a link.

Not sure what slide in camper your talking about, but most are pretty darn heavy, even the ones that the camper companies "say" are for a F-150. The Lance 825 is lister at over 1800lbs! That's empty, throw a couple hundred pounds of camping gear in it and your over a ton. Most people (experienced truck camper owners) recommend at least a 3/4 ton truck with air bags. I wouldn't wanna do it with a 150.
I see your a VA fella. Hang out at Assateague Island or the OBX near the OSV areas and talk to some of those guys. You rarely see a half ton truck with a camper.

The FX4 in question only has a 7200 pound package, this is seriously under equipped for towing heavy let alone a slide in.
My Scab has a 7200 pound package netting me a total of 1625 pounds of payload. The FX4 is a bit heavier than my truck.
I'd look for a truck with max tow or an F-250.
I do like the lifetime engine guarantee though.
