Good deal. Probably best to try something out a little closer to home for towing to see how the truck handles a load.

Yeah, i might hook up our pop-up camper one day when im bored and see how it pulls it around here. Idt the trucks ever been used for towing bc it had no towing equipment at all when i bought it, no harness, no reciever, nothing lol But ill keep youg uys posted and put up some pics when i get her home! Thanks!

I agree wise choice. if you didn't get the tow package then it's probably smart to not use it for long hauls. Not saying it won't do it. But saying that there are supporting mods that will need done if you are going to be towing with it.

We will def need pics of the 04 in action though.
