  • Can Truck Bed Camper Extend Past Rear Edge of Short Bed Pickup

  • From what you described you need to do, it sounds like you are needing an extension of 4' (48").

  • For your 2015 Ford F-250 Short Bed, you will want to use TracRac Base Rails # TH21510.

  • Hitch Extender for Towing Camper with Tailgate Down
  • Using most extenders will typically lower the tongue weight and towing capacity of the hitch by up to 50 percent, unless you're planning on using something like the Torklift Super Truss # TLE1542 you mentioned.

This is a pretty specialized hitch that's typically available for 3/4 and 1 ton trucks. If your truck has a 2-1/2 inch receiver hitch on it, The Reese Hitch...
