Where does he say he's in 6th? All it says is the truck won't downshift. Nowhere does it say what gear it was in at the bottom of the hill and how fast the truck was going so who knows?

Don't even need a broomstick - on the older trucks they would walk up, unscrew the antenna and use it to push the unlock button. I had a 2012 2500 CC SB and my 2018 F-350 CC SB rode way, way better. I now have a 2019 CC LB dually with the rear air suspension and I'd say it rides a bit better...

I have a 42' 5th wheel and my scaled weights are 14,332 truck (overloaded) and 12,919 on the trailer axles. I...
