Truck Bed Camper for Ford F-150 Tremor

The Tremor is the off-road F-150 that doesn't go all-in on Raptor hardware. For Kimbo installs, that's actually an advantage — same bed geometry, more payload margin.

How it fits

Why a Kimbo works on a Ford F-150 Tremor.

The Tremor is the F-150 we'd quietly recommend over a Raptor for Kimbo 6 owners who don't need 100 mph desert running. You get the off-road geometry — a factory 2″ front lift, monotube shocks, 33″ tires, and a real off-road tune on the traction control — without sacrificing the payload margin that the Raptor R gives up to its supercharged V8. Tremor door-jamb stickers commonly run 1,500–1,600 lb on a SuperCrew, which is genuine working margin for a Kimbo install.

Like the Raptor, the Tremor is SuperCrew + 5.5′ bed only — no 6.5′ Tremor exists. That makes Kimbo 6 the off-the-shelf answer (it fits the 5.5′ bed cleanly, with the same install pattern as a base F-150 SuperCrew). The Kimbo 8 is a closer call: it was engineered around 6.5′+ beds, and a 5.5′ Tremor install requires custom mounting we'd want to walk through with you in person. If a Kimbo 8 is the goal, a 6.5′-bed F-150 XLT or Lariat is a better starting point than a Tremor.

The factory 2″ front lift puts the Tremor closer to level once a Kimbo is loaded and the rear settles, which is a small handling win nobody talks about. The monotube shocks are upgraded over base F-150 hardware but not as elaborate as the Raptor's FOX Live Valve — most Tremor owners install Kimbos without adding airbags, but a set of Firestone Ride-Rites is a reasonable $300 upgrade if you want a hair more rear control under full load.

By generation

Year-by-year fit notes.

Truck-camper fit isn't one-size-fits-all across model years — frame, cab clearance, and suspension change between generations. Here's where each Ford F-150 Tremor sits.

The math

Your payload margin, calculated.

Real numbers for a fully-provisioned Kimbo install on a Ford F-150 Tremor at the middle of its payload range. Substitute your own door-jamb sticker for a precise calculation.

Calculating for

  • Ford F-150 Tremor payload (mid-range)+ 1,475 lb
  • Kimbo 6 (base) 830 lb
  • Fresh water (4 gal) 32 lb
  • Propane (20 lb tank) 30 lb
  • Gear load 100 lb
  • 1 occupant in cab (200 lb) 200 lb

Remaining margin

+283 lb

Calculated using the midpoint of the Ford F-150 Tremor's published payload range. Your specific truck's door-jamb sticker is what counts. Trim packages, options (sunroofs, larger wheels), and tow packages can swing this number by 200–500 lb in either direction.

The Kimbo team's pick

If we were buying a Ford F-150 Tremor

If you're shopping a Tremor for a Kimbo install, get a 3.5L EcoBoost SuperCrew (not the 5.0L V8 — the EcoBoost has higher payload across most build sheets) with the FX4 / 4×4 package and skip the optional roof rails (they interfere with Kimbo cabover clearance on some configurations). 33″ tires are stock; that's fine.
