This is a pic of our TV, we tow a 2005 Alfa 5ver with a gross of about 18000lbs.

There's a link to our webshots page of our rig and RV...

We've added a power lift for the Suzuki that we have on the back since these pics were taken and will get the pic of that change soon.

We towed for years with our 97 Ford (we still own it and love it) PS F350drw crew cab, 5spd/gear vendor, Banks with intercooler, air ride rear suspension, Trail Saver air ride hitch, Banks exhaust brake and more.

We were at or beyond the trucks real life ability to tow safely and decided to go to a bigger unit, researched MDT and HDT and for the $ and safety we chose the HDT and will NEVER go back to a pick up or MDT to tow.

Happy Travels.

I'm just curious what is your overall length all hooked up and ready to go?

All great setup's here guys! I'm currently in the market for the RAM 3500 Dually Cummins. How does the Cummins do moving big heavy homes? Anyone beefing it up or is stock good enough. Sorry, I'm new to all this stuff.

WOW ... I need to measure ours the next time we are hooked up, but I'm sure we are not that long. Truck is 22 ' and Camper is 39'

My new to me 02 Ram 1500 QC 4x4 5.9L the day I brought her home last month! It might be a little used but it was paid for in full before it left the dealer [emoticon]
