Once in a while I still see Rangers and other trucks within its size class with some camper module, most often with a pop-up roof instead of fully rigid. But I guess it's worth to remind overseas versions often have a higher payload than US-spec models for this size class.
When it comes to F-150 vs. F-350, about 4 and half years ago I spotted an F-350 with plates from British Columbia in Florianópolis, Brazil, with a camper module. Most likely an F-150 would be exceeding the GVWR with a similar setup, not to mention the overload would also decrease reliability while riding through tough terrain.

That would be quite a good base for an expedition rig, yet it would have some limitations regarding payload... Sometimes I still lurk about picking either a Kombi or a more modern mid-size van and set it up for stealth-camping, but I'm sure a full-size truck and a camper module would be quite tempting, plus the ability to carry one or two 125cc dual-purpose motorcycles.
