My tow vehicle.

After some accessories.

Very nice looking truck.
5.0L, Chrome package, XTR package ??? (Canadian [emoticon]

), Flame Blue [emoticon]

.

I'm a bit biased towards this type of truck.

Super Cab is still pretty nice, I just use my truck as a people hauler so I needed a full back seat.

Your trailer is only a few hundred lbs lighter than mine with the same GVWR according to Keystone's website. That V6 with a super cab 4WD configuration has only 5500 lbs towing capacity. Just take it slow and easy.

Hey bud. You are exactly right. I have little to no room for error on my weights. I did a rough estimate on my setup.

Apx. Total Weight of Truck & TT
Truck Curb Weight 5300 Lbs
TT Dry Weight +4491 Lbs
Truck & TT Dry Combi= 9791 Lbs
Truck & TT Cargo +1500 Lbs
Total Loaded weight. =11,291 Lbs

I'm maxed at 11,100lbs. Before my 1st trip I'm heading to a CAT and get an accurate number. But I did learn from my drive from the dealership to my home town to drive slow. Makes a world of difference.

Just wanted to update my photos since I was finally able to get the trailer hitched up to the new truck.

My complete rig. I know it's not as pretty as most here, but it is functional and very nice for its age.
