Camper package

When try to configure my unicorn super duty yesterday the sales guy told me that I had to get 20 inch wheels etc with a 3.55 locking rear axle.

Unless I got the camper package which is only 140 bucks. But he couldn't figure out what that is...

so what is the camper package?

NOTE: Salesperson's Source Book or Ford RV Trailer Towing
Guide should be consulted for specific Trailer Towing or
camper limits and corresponding required equipment,
axle ratios and model availability. Restrictions apply; see
Supplemental Reference or Body Builders Layout Book
for details

The 20" wheel and tire exclusions looks odd (to me) because the 2017 RV and Trailer Towing Guide (page 12) indicates 20" wheels and tires are available with the CP option.

Since the 20s started showing up in '06, they have NOT been available with the camper package. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but that's how they roll.

I screwed up and ordered just the heavy service front Suspension on my 250. How much does the aux springs add to the payload rated?

really? You'd think it would be at least a couple hundred lbs. Guess it just makes the suspension more progressive? And the cert. Of course

Correct, payload is based off the GVWR- weight of truck. The F250 has a GVWR of 10,000lbs - 7500lb truck = 2500lb payload. The GVWR never changes for the truck so the more options and bigger cab you get the less payload you can carry according to the sticker
