5th TT LB loaded wrote:

Huh? 5th=fifth wheel, TT=travel trailer, LB=long bed, loaded=inebriated?
4.8ltr engine with probably an economy final drive gear set? Probably not too heavy of a trailer, under 4,000lbs.

I had an 06 1500 4x4 Ext Cab 4.8 with the 3.42 gears when I first started looking at RV's. I was looking at Hybrids mostly but when I stepped up to the TT in my sig I knew I needed more truck.
