| New to Towing
Hi, Just a few questions about towing. I am considering a change in life. I want to get the best 1 ton tow vehicle and 5th wheel TT I can find. I plan on living in the thing. I looked at Ford but questions still swirl about the 6.0. Dodge has body/trans issues from what I have read. I have heard wonderful things about Chevrolet and their 6.6 and Alison Tranny which afterall is the heart of a tow vehicle. My questions are: I understand that 20 miles is unrealistic to expect from an unloaded truck is that correct? What can I expect? I have read that the duramax can tow everything from 0 to 35k. As I plan on a TT 5er I would guess it will weigh in at 15 to 18k loaded. Is this too much weight to tow on a semi regular basis. I plan on traveling around the country which means towing about every other weekend for appx 2 years... Sorry this is so long... |
