If there an aftermarket company like American Muscle for my Mustang? I don't plan on any extensive mod's but would like to dress it up a little. I do need air bags and maybe gooseneck for camper.
I'll post a photo after I get it. Taking a road trip to pickup the truck tomorrow. I searched the net for the accessories I wanted on the truck, and local dealer made the deal..

This truck didn't have the rear limited slip, looking at options? Detroit truelock? Not really interested in the clutch models.

There is a large number of vendors on this site. I'm sure that they will be glad to fix you up. Congrat's on your new truck

What gears do you have in the new truck? Unless you are running 3.92 gears, you're pretty much at the tow limit with the trailer empty IIRC, or not far off.

3.21. I don't pull it much. Not worried with the 8 spd. high speed diffs, used to be a big issue years ago when you only had 200hp. Now with 400. no big deal.. My F150 ecco handled it just fine.
I farm and remember pulling 20k with 3/4 ton 4x4 all the time. not at hwy speeds, but out of the field and home. I'm more worried about stopping than going, with todays drivers!
