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 (typical load)− 1,052 lb
- Passengers (cab)− 340 lb
Remaining margin
+83 lb
Tight — verify your sticker
Calculated using the midpoint of the Ford F-150 Tremor's published payload range and a typically-loaded Kimbo, plus cab passengers. The Kimbo 6 rides from 830 lb base dry to ~1,200 lb fully loaded (modules + water + propane + jacks + gear). Your specific truck's door-jamb sticker is the cargo budget that counts — trim packages, options, and tow packages can swing this by 200–500 lb — and your rear axle rating (GAWR) on the same label is the structural limit a slide-in actually pushes against. Travelling lighter, a higher-payload trim, and rear airbags add real margin.

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.
