F450 Bed Height?

Can someone tell me what the bed height is from the ground to the inside floor of the bed on a 2025 F450? I'm finding conflicting info online and couldn't find the info in the forums.
I'm just wanting to look at what my overall height might be with a loaded truck camper if I get a new F450.

AI estimated it at 73.5 on a current F450 Super Duty. 😂🤣

Exactly why I said AI's answer. There are too many variables even from the factory on f450 height due to spring upgrades etc.

I’ve asked dealers, people who have them, I get a different answer every time!

Well, you have to factor in frame drop once weight is applied, so there is only one true answer, you have to do it to know it. Everything else is just a guess. The height of the bed floor to ground is 36.8", so that gives you a starting point.

This is from 2024 F450 6.7 HO King Ranch. I'd call the 35⅜ to be safe.

I guess Ford used that same person who put out the jobs reports. Their specs say 36.8 from the tailgate to ground while a real world number is at least an inch lower.

Not a perfect pic, but here is my 2024 450 height. I pulled the rubber bed mat up a bit so the bed was easier to distinguish.

2024 f450 6.7 HO KR: my rear tires aired down a touch to 75psi but my tailgate is 36-3/8”. Spring rate for the first 2” or so is ~1000 lb/in, then ~2400 lb/in, so my guess is a 4000lb camper will drop the bed somewhere around 3”.

The aft end of the tailgate will be a little bit higher than hinge end of the tailgate, due to the "muscle car rake" of an unloaded truck.

Too many variables to make a reasonable guess. I'm about 12' 2" with stock suspension and a 2 inch riser under the camper. I'm basically the same height with my 2025 F450.
