5 Best Truck Campers For F150

The F-150 truck has been the bestselling automobile in the United States for more than 30 years. It has also been the best pickup for more than 40 years.

Given its popularity and just how many of these trucks are on the road, it makes perfect sense to create a truck camper that can be hauled safely with this truck. This is evident given the number of truck camper manufacturers willing to create truck campers for this truck. 

What makes the F150 so great is that it is a daily driver for most people and having a truck camper on it can help them split their moments between play and work.

Thankfully, manufacturers of truck campers understand this and have created a vast array of truck campers that can be seamlessly hauled and stored.

So, the basis of this article is to highlight some of the best trucker campers that perfectly suit the Ford F-150. Let us begin!

1. Palomino Rogue

Just imagine: the sun sinking below the horizon, leaving a sky of burning oranges and purples. There you are, amidst the rugged beauty of the wilderness, with your Palomino Rogue perched like a beacon in the soft dusk light. This camper is not just a trailer, it’s your personal ticket to untamed adventures.

As you swing open the Rogue’s door, you step into a cocoon of comfort. There’s a spacious bed with a plush mattress, promising a night of blissful rest under the stars. The dinette, easily convertible into an extra bed, means there’s always room for one more adventurer.

Feel a rumble in your stomach? No problem. The Rogue’s kitchen, armed with a two-burner stove, microwave, and fridge, is your portable diner in the heart of the wild. You’ll be whipping up meals that rival your favorite home-cooked delights in no time.

The Rogue, despite its sturdy exterior, is a breeze to tow. Weighing around 2100 lbs., it’s designed to dance behind your vehicle, even when navigating those twisting mountain roads.

But the real soul of the Palomino Rogue lies beyond its features. It’s the thrill of discovering a hidden waterfall, the peace of a quiet night in the desert, and the joy of sharing laughter and stories with your loved ones.

The Palomino Rogue isn’t just a camper—it’s your mobile passport to the uncharted territories of life. Are you ready to hitch the Rogue and embark on a journey to experiences unseen? The great outdoors is calling. Let’s go exploring!

2. Alaskan 6.5 Cabover

If you are unable to decide between getting a pop-up or a hard-side camper, then you don’t have to worry about that anymore. Thanks to Alaskan Campers, you can purchase a hybrid that has features of both. The 6.5 Cabover differs from the traditional popup camper in the sense that it does not have canvas sides.

What it does have is a trademarked pop-top that has the feel and design of a solid wall. Its hydraulic mechanism lowers and raises the entirety of the camper’s top simply by flipping a switch. 

There are quite a number of benefits to this telescopic feature. For one, it not only offers adequate standing room in the camper but it also when done, offers improved gas mileage and less wind resistance.

Additionally, it makes the truck camper more suited to off-road. The interior has a wonderful dinette made of leather, a ceiling full of wood paneling, and gorgeous maple cabinets all through the camper. 

This Alaskan offers quite a unique amount of generous counter space. The overhead storage compartments are not left out.

This 1,390-pound truck camper has a 15-gallon fresh water tank, a 3-way 2.6 cubic ft fridge, a 5-gallon tank for propane, a full-length door, and Herh windows as standard. 

You also get a 24v, one-group battery as standard, but an option for two can be purchased. Other options such as a water heater with a 4-gallon capacity, a cassette toilet made by Thetford, a 20,000 BTU heater by Suburba, LED lighting, and a 160-watt Zamp solar system. 

3. Four Wheel Camper Hawk

The Four Wheel Camper Hawk has a 1,075 dry weight and a 6.5 floor length making it a great match for the F150. With the Hawk, campers get an equipped kitchenette, a 20-gallon tank for fresh water, a queen-sized bed with an east-west layout, a 3way 1.7 cubic ft fridge, and durable yet attractive interior woodwork.

You have the option of selecting any of 3 floorplans that feature a dinette at the front, a side dinette or a side rollover couch. 

If you need an option with amenities, the Hawk can be purchased with an outside shower and a cassette toilet. The Four Wheel Camper Hawk also comes with a roof-mounted 160-watt solar system, 85-liter compressor fridge, dual battery configuration, and 2 propane tanks, each with a 10-pound capacity.

This is the perfect option for those that want to be off-grid during their camping trips. 

4. Bundutec Wild

The Bundutec Wild features a relatively novel design from a company that has been known to push the boundaries of the truck camper. With the Wild, you get not only a full wet bath, but you also get a massive grey water tank ensuring that the wet bath feature is practical.

Its exterior is black-accented grey aluminum, which makes it one of the best-looking truck campers on this list. You get a 7-foot floor plan that includes a wet bath and kitchen on the left side, a full dinette, and a fridge with numerous storage compartments on the right side. 

The Wild offers standard features such as a 56 by 74-inch bed in a north-south layout with underneath storage compartments, a 21 and 17-gallon fresh and grey water tank respectively, a sink made from stainless steel, a compressor fridge from NovaKool, and a door and window screens.

When it comes to the power supply, you have a 160-watt solar system from Zamp and a water heater from Trauma Combi that saves space and weight.

Weighing 1,610 pounds, the Wild is a bit heavy and that is down to its wood construction. 

5. Lance 650

If there was ever a truck camper that could match the comfort and luxury found in today’s F150, then the Lance 650 would be the archetype.

The combination of the Lance 650 and the Ford F150 is so seamless to drive and luxurious that it is a popular pairing for those renting both truck and truck camper.

The Lance 650 is doing something right as it is a favorite of quite a few truck campers all over the country.

It not only offers a queen-sized bed with a north-south layout, and a standard wet bath complete with a sink, but it also offers a large-sized dinette that could sleep one full-sized adult and a massive kitchen. 

The standard trim 650 weighs 1,700 pounds empty. With this truck camper, you get a 6″10 floor-length with 6″9 of height inside the camper. This short bed truck camper comes with a 22-gallon fresh water tank, 16 gallons black water tank, and a grey water tank with a 15-gallon capacity.

The Lance 650 is capable of fitting both a 5.5 feet and 6.5 feet truck, and as a wonderful amper, it has everything you might need to have a great camping trip. It is a little on the heavy side and this might cause the F150s intending to haul it about to have their suspension upgraded.

This is only relevant to the base trims of the F150, as the heavy-duty payload trim is capable of handling this extra weight easily. 

Conclusion 

Before buying your selected camper, you have to make sure that your F150 is able to cope with the additional weight a truck camper comes with. The most important metric you must consider when getting a truck camper is the payload rating of your truck.

When it comes to the Ford F150, you can get a package that increases the payload from a base payload rating of 1,844 pounds to 3,270 pounds. What this means is that the truck camper you purchase, plus your gear and any passengers have to add up to lower than this number.

Trying to ascertain the F150’s payload is quite easy. All you have to do is have a look at your driver’s door jam and the information would be pasted there on a sticker.
