I have seen a thread for "what do you tow". So, I thought this would be a little more relevant to me.I apologize if I shouldn't have started another thread. I'm trying to see people's performance when really pushin truck to its limits. I have seen as high as 13k . I have the 4.10 so I'm a little over 15k and some change for towing cap. And just under 3800 for payload with the bh trim. I'm trying to find a toy hauler. I saw one that I really liked A lot. It's a road warrior 410 from heartland. it's somewhere around 38 or 40 feet. i have also looked at raptor s , cyclones etc. But I feel in love with the rw. You can never tell unless you actually measure cause all manufacturers list their weights differently Which is really stupid. At least that's what a dealer told me. The dry weight of it is almost 13k but the gvwr is 18k! Of course, I would never travel with water and any unnecessary in the rv. The payload is just under 3k so if I'm careful I think I would be ok. I am only going to tow it for the occasional camping trip ( 2-3x) per month max. i think that rig is a good candidate for a diesel dually for best towing experience. I'm just wondering what it would be like on truck. Most I'll have in it is 2 motorcycles at about 1400 pounds. I decided not to go with diesel for several reasons ( price , frequency towing, living in Cold climate , toomuch idling time, price of fuel)etc. I well get a rv for the truck not The other way around. I do want my truck to last though. I don't care about changing rotors frequently but I don't want to bake my tranny. What do you guys think? Good thing is the truck gets to rest a lot cause I won't work it much more than that. Thanks
