    Towing Mileage Comparison / Questions

    I love my 2500. Tote around 24’ flatbed and load it to the nuts. As long as I am not over my tire weight rating I don’t worry about it. Tows like a champ. Heaviest load so far was 11,000lbs of heat treating pads I took out to El Paso. Grossed out at 24,500. Pulled like a champ. Air bags help a lot.

    Sucks to be poor - Rant

    I would say that it is relative. All depends on your bank account. One man might think it is foolish, while to another man it’s a drop in the bucket.
