Considering anF250 for bed camper & to tow a race car

New to all the load & towing specs, so I wonder if I can get some help. We're thinking about getting a Ford truck, (F250?), to carry a lance camper weighing about 2400 lbs wet and towing an enclosed trailer, (about 6k)... Is this doable w/a F250 or ?

F250 and F350 are the same truck except the F350 has a sticker on the door jamb that has a higher load carrying rating from Ford. If you live in a area where truck are pulled over and given weight checks then a F350 is the one you want. I always suggest to those who carry slide in campers just go right to the F350 and be done with it, then you won't say "I wish I would have....".

What year and drive train are you after?
Either is capable of the load and the towing at the same time.

Here is a link to the most recent years towing guides:
