Beautiful truck. I live in Fort Worth and drove to that dealer a couple of years back when I was in the market. They were rude and not willing to deal. Need to replace those tires as soon as you are able, they are junk. The belts seperated on my front tires with 18,000 miles on them the day...

I know. That would have been bad since I was driving through Houston at the time and there is always traffic.

Had the same issue at 19000 miles. Front tire shreaded the day after pulling my 5th wheel. Nothing to do with the load, my 5th wheel is 15K and tire pressure were correct. No signs of wear on any of them and then boom. Went to discount tire the next day and replaced them all

Here's a pick of mine the day I got her

Mine the day I picked it up

Forgot to mention. 2020 3500 Lone Star Dually, not the HO. B&W Companion hitch.

Here is our new rig. 2021 Dutchmen Yukon 400RL. Took it to Lake Texoma the weekend we got it for a shakedown. Truck handled it no problem.

Thanks all.

No I get it. I was just surprised. That being said, I got the dually for stability reasons. There are some strong winds out in the flat lands of West Texas. And I am not worried about my truck handling the trailer we are thinking of getting. Total weight loaded is around 16K. I figured 20% for...

That is nuts. Not that I will be towing 20K, but I think the number is low for my truck.

Also, it is just me and my wife. We are looking at the bunkhouse in case anyone wants to come with us

I appreciate the info. I don't think I will ever need to go bigger. We are looking at some big 5th wheels already. We are leaning towards the Keystone Montana Big Country 365BH

even with the wife and I and all our gear, we will not be over probably 15K all in. I can't believe the tranny is that big of a detriment to towing. You would think a 1 ton dually diesel should be able to haul mid 20's, the F350's are rated for it. I know they have a bigger engine, but I was...

I'm sure I will still be OK. The 5th wheel we are looking at is just under 13K dry weight with 2600 payload. so about 16K total weight. I will never travel with water in the tanks.
