I'm excited to see what they come up with, from what I've seen Livin Lite makes an excellent product well suited to off-pavement use.

They are going to have to find a way to up the payload of the 150 though. Pretty anemic as is.

I read somewhere the new 2015 F150 can be optioned up to 3000 lbs.
Just found this...http://blog.caranddriver.com/alumin...es-2015-f-150-max-towing-and-hauling-ratings/ read 3300#'s

1780 dry, not counting water, propane, batteries, provisions and materials. That is still cutting it close not counting what you have in the cab to include recovery gear and whatever else you decide to bolt on.

FYI,That's not the new camper Ford's designed. It might be heavier, LOL

Oh I know. I just picked the one they make for the class. The one ford is contracting MUST me heavier, as they will have to make it different from what is already made by that company to be worthwhile. So, I would expect a Super Camper edition to be made again, but unlikely.

hope they put good insulation , aluminium is cold when cold and hot when hot.

The frame and structure is aluminum, but the body and inside is plastic and fiberglass.
