Which Ford Models Are Best for Camping Trips?
Whether your idea of camping means a pop-up trailer on a gravel pad or a rooftop tent on a remote ridgeline, the Ford lineup covers the full spectrum of outdoor needs. Cargo capacity, off-road capability and towing strength are the three pillars that make Ford trucks and SUVs consistently top picks for campers across the Northeast. Here's a closer look at the models worth considering.
Ford F-150: Ideal for Hauling RVs

You can get this rugged truck in various configurations, from SRW to dually options depending on how big your camping rig is.
