All valid points and I don't disagree with any of them, in fact I've marveled at your build. I don't have the skills to do that on my own! My rationale...the shortest I could go is a supercab short bed, which buys me 11inches in wheel base only about a 7 % change. This would be much more...

There a lots of vehicles I'd love to consider if they could be easily imported into the US. All things considered, the domestic full size seem to be the best option for my use case :)

Interesting, so does that mean that pre-emissions diesels that have had to run on ULSD for the ~10 years are not lasting as long as they would have otherwise? Or is it just certain diesel engines that have trouble switching to ULSD?

All goods points! Regarding #3, I began looking at Full size trucks for the prospective flatbed camper and thought the Ford Tremor would make for an excellent On and Off road platform as it offers lots of payload, front and rear lockers, 35s on a factory lift, and a variety of Drive modes...

That's interesting that ULSD doesn't run well for some diesel engines...I figured there would be a variety of reasons countries would not want to adopt USLD but didn't think that was one of them:) Yeah, the 7.3 has a lot going for so far.

Agreed...just thinking that if it got to where so much ULSD was being produced / distributed it might reach a critical mass where it would make sense to deal with the higher sulphur fuels any more...most likely a naive way to think about it...One of the reasons I started looking a the Ford 7.3...

The 7.3 platforms have higher payload capability than the 6.7L as it's a lighter engine. The 7.3 has plenty of HP and Torque for a camper and recreational towing. The torque curve is pretty flat as over 400 lbs-ft is delivered at 1500 rpms and peaking at 475 lbs-ft around 4000 rpms or so...

I agree to an extent as I understand there is some sort of EPA certification required for gas tanks and not diesel with it's higher flash and autoignition points (safer). However, Ford does offer a larger tank 48 gallon on the long bed super crews, so the size of the tank doesn't appear to be...

I'm debating between the Ford 7.3 Godzilla gas and 6.7 diesel engines for an F350 Tremor (only in a super crew, short bed) to be built out with a flatbed popup camper. Eventually I want to take it internationally, but I know the ULSD becomes an issue with the 6.7. The 7.3 requires only 87...

For deep snow....

I don't have experience with all of those vehicles. So much depends on the actual conditions in question. However, I do have a 4D Jeep Rubicon and a full size Chevy. With the same type of tire, I would think that having a balanced vehicle, with clearance, and with lockers would perform best...

I see you're in CO, I'm just next door. Snow flake tires and AWD / 4WD make a huge difference for sure. Here's a Global locations Ford link I found for starters...looks like it takes you to other links in respective countries: https://corporate.ford.com/operations/locations/global-links.html

Perhaps check the octane rating for the engines. The Ford 7.3 Godzilla accepts 87 octane and has good low end torque ~400+ ft-lbs from 1500 rpms to red line. Being able to shift to into 4wd on the fly is nice and usually not something you get from a conversion. Ford dealerships everywhere...

Nice for mobility but curious about visibility, especially when going down hill.

Not sure about the DMV regs, but N/S is an important criteria for me too (among a few others). I do believe with Nimbl it's East - West but has ample space above the mattress for easier maneuvering when compare with other popups. HallmarkRV in Colorado offers a legitimate N/S and a few others...

Will the Nimbl Evolution fit on a F350 SuperCrew with short bed or does it hang over the cab too much?

Nice set up! What was involved with lengthening the chassis and the custom bed? Is the bed aluminum or steel? In your estimation, would the 7.3 add any value for the way you use the truck with camper?

Hi Greg, I saw in a post you have a mastervolt system. Would you happen a diagram or schematic? Have you been happy with it? Thanks so much! Best, Scott

It would be nice to know what the OTR characteristics are like of the gas version, due to higher HP, more torque, and lot's of suspension tuning? What speeds are expected? How does it track, how does it accelerate, corner, etc? Somethings are correctable. For instance, if it's not tracking...
