Clay.buy the Chev.HD2500, 6-liter,4-door, w/6.5 box...I had an '05 and traded in for this 3500 dually...I can run 80mph towing the 386 w/the dually but my friend is right behind me w/his 2500 towing a 40' fountain...not the best gas mileage(12mpg),but u could buy a lightweight and get 15(not worth saving a few bucks)my duramax hauls a$$, but I miss the "05...just my .02

You can hook all the Toyota's you want to my super duty. You got to be kidding with this one. Also if your Dodge tranny's are crapping out it's probably because you don't change fluid and filter often enough. They will last over 300,000 miles hauling boats professionally, I have seen it.

I asumed you were comparing a 1/2 ton with a 1/2 ton. or at least gas with gas.

Not too many offshore boats get jerked around by a 1/2 t gas pickup....hence the reason for all of the one ton diesel references. Probably TrailerBoating would have a readership that consists of owners trailering with 1/2 t pickups.....no offense

They do it by applying the brake on the wheel
that is slipping, you slow down that wheel, power
is applied to the other wheel.
It's done thought the ABS system.
My wifes car has it, it works pretty good.
All this B.S. about hooking it up to your guys
3/4 diesels makes as much sense as hooking
your trucks up to a back of a semi tractor.

Lets compare it to a 1/2 ton truck....that's what
they're claiming it is.
