Supertramp Flagship LT pop-up slide-in pickup camper
- Thread starter Chadx
- Start date
Superduty arrived at dealership yesterday! Factory winch to be intalled, local bedliner sprayed, and clear bra installed this week and I pick it up Monday. Dealer pic below. Better ones to follow.
In the next two weeks (still coordinating), I meet up with a Montana-based Flagship LT owner with a Battleship Gray camper to see if our Glacier Gray pickup color plays nice with the Battleship Gray color. Will adjust our camper color from white to gray if they compliment one another.

That’s a fine looking truck!!
I think that’s what I like best about the STC, it’s bright and spacious inside. For whatever reason, OEV campers, slide-in and even flatbed models seem very tight inside. Personally I hate the fridge setup in the OEV 6.85. If you opt for their fridge it takes up a seating space. If you use your own chest fridge you also have to take up a seat spot. I don’t see why OEV doesn’t incorporate a chest fridge into their countertop space. I feel like you can easily fit 4 adults in a STC and only 2 adults in the Backountry 6.85 comfortably. It’s amazing how roomy the STC feels for a slide in camper.

If anyone is interested these are the before and after measurements for my F350 Tremor from all 4 corners. These measurements are from the ground to the inside of wheel well at the highest point. Before is obviously the truck stock with 37” Toyo’s installed and after is with the Supertramp installed.
Front Driver
Before: 42.5”
After: 42.5”
Rear Driver
Before: 45.5”
After: 42 5/8”
Front Passenger
Before: 42.25”
After: 42.0”
Rear Passenger
Before: 45.0”
After: 42 5/8”
And…. Because every post deserves a picture!!

Well, it looks like it was just enough to make it level front to rear.

My thoughts exactly!!! Just about perfectly level and almost 50/50 weight distribution. Like it was made for it!!
I think it was discussed in a different thread, but for the benefit of this thread, part of the expansive interior space in a Supertramp is because they chose to have the rear of the camper wider than the wheel well to fill the pickup bed. The front of the camper is narrow enough to fit between the wheel wells, but the back third can be wider than the wheel wells. As wide as the pickup bed allows.
A few extra inches of with on each side makes room for the toilet/shower basin on the drivers side and propane drawer and pantry on the passenger side.
FWC does this as well, but some manufacturers choose not to (OEV and others). I will say the OEV slide-in pickup campers load easier because the footprint is retangle and doesn't flare wider in the back (blocking view and requiring a bit more precision). Also, they have a bit of storage in the bed alongside the camper. And, it simplifies the construction on a composite camper made of composite sheets of and extrusions. But, it comes at the expense of interior space and, therefore, layout compromises.
Molded campers just allow more flexibility with filling all available space. Much like how aftermarket dirtbike gas tanks fill every nook and cranny or smartphone batteries could have higher capacity, in the same package size, when they went from removable rectangular batteries to non-removable batteries with some unique shapes.
Yesterday I picked up the 2024 F250 Lariat Supercab we ordered back in July. Color is the new Glacier Gray Tri-coat (light gray with blue tint depending on light). Happy with max payload which is 3,195lb. The 70% side of the rear seat will be removed and replaced with a platform. I went with the Ford-accessory Warn winch and had bedliner sprayed locally (Rhino Linings). Husky floor mats installed yesterday (giving them a try over my usual Weathertech) and have Husky rock guards sitting here to install. Custom seat covers on the way from Marathon Seat Covers (who also happens to be local to my town). Clear bra going on tomorrow. Will debadge the bed (remove sticker), remove chrome exhaust tip and swap running board brackets with the shorter version to tuck the running boards up a bit. Will trim the air dam or replace with Tremor.
Dedicated winter tires (Blizzak LT) going on stock 20" wheels for this winter soon and I have a set of take-off 18" tremor wheels and Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT LT285/75R18 that will go on before the March trip to Golden, CO to pick up our Flagship LT and will be our summer tires. Not touching the suspension for the first summer so I can gather data. I want to first determine what lift, if any, we need for the trails we drive. Once I determine that, I can work through aftermarket shocks, etc. Would love to slap on a nice Carli setup, but I like to gather data first to understand the deficiencies, if any, before making a change. Plus, then I will appreciate any changes more by having a summer's worth of use to compare.

Curious why you did not get the factory spray bedliner which I thought came with the Lariat.
Factory spray-in bedliner is still a $595 option with the Lariat; so not included in price. Not sure about other trims. Last year, the factory bedliner delayed a lot of orders so I didn't want to risk it nor did my dealership. Turns out, this year there are no delays with Ford factory liner, but it still worked out great to do it locally. Dealer coordinated it and had it done before I picked it up. Was done by local Rhino Liner place and great quality. My previous liner was LineX and also great. Some have said the aftermarket liners are a bit thicker and better quality than the Ford one, but I have no experience with the Ford ones so I can't compare and they very well may be equal in quality.

Sometime before Christmas, I'm meeting with a Montana-based Flagship LT owner with a Battleship Gray camper to see if this Glacier Gray pickup color plays nice with the Battleship Gray color. Will adjust our camper color from white to gray if they compliment one another, otherwise we'll stick with white camper.
