Came across this article and it demonstrates how important it is to know your trucks load capacity and how to distribute the weight .

According to the article the camper was 5000lbs dry weight. Plus gear and such they estimated total payload at around 6500lbs. That's a lot of weight in the bed. Plus while looking at the pics, a lot of that weight seems to be behind the rear axle.
It's terrible what happened to this guy's truck, mopar is refusing to cover it under warranty (a $17,000 repair). Can't say I blame them though.
Know how to load tour truck properly. Use the scales at a truck stop and be safe!
