Without a problem! Its weight is about what my camper is and I used a 1/2 ton Che... to pull it without a problem. Your weight will be in the bed and the truck should have overloads and should handle the camper. If no overloads, you will need to ad them.

The ad states that "This super wide camper is light enough for the heavy duty single rear tire trucks."
I would assume they mean a SRW F350 or equivelent. That means your DRW F450 would handle it no problem.

isn't the payload of the F450 6,000 pounds?
That is a expensive slide in, you can get a nice toyhauler for that price.

Thanks for all the Help I really do appreciate it.
I really like the Camper and so does the wife, Does having a Camper put a lot of wear&tear on the Truck?

YES....It will (and then some.....).....A good F250 can handle it with a decent leveling kit and airbags....An F350 will handle it with no problem by itself....An F450?........Are you kidding me?......

How TALL is the cab roof, vice the clearance needed for the overhanging front end?
If that fits, you should be in good shape. I suppose it would be a silly question what truck bed it is designed for...
