As long as I am towing something it will be with a dually diesel...nothing else beats it when towing...

You can never have enough truck...

Can you either make your photobucket account public or post a picture here?

Go to your photobucket account, move your curser over the pic you want, as the drop down window appears, left click on IMG code to copy it, it will copy automaticly, come back to this site, and just paste it where you want it. Just make sure you have your pic in 640x480 it makes it easier. I bypass the rvnet little boxes at the top of the page and just paste in this window.

We went from a 1500 suburban to a dually diesel 4.10s with an ultralight TT. It works out well, better mileage, more room for stuff in the bed, and tows straight as an arrow. Great overkill.

WOW..

Thats cool.

I am allowed to tow double like that in TN, I wanted to tow a boat, but we are limited to 65 ft over all length.

22 ft Dually
31 ft Travel Trailer
only 13 ft left for a boat

so double towing a boat is out of the question for me... BOOO

Thanks!

Wow, that's pretty impressive nevadanick, especially with only a 45 minute load time. My wife packs half the house it seems so our load time is closer to an hour and a half or two hours.
