[QUOTE="blacksheep10, post: 711940, member: 13"] I have a 1 ton dually DMax and a nice 14K 30' goose and 22.5' 14K bumper. I ride plenty. I'm speaking of the people that have workaday jobs, new kids, not a complete buggy etc. They guys that want to get out more but there is always something to be done around the house or with kids. They buy a big ass truck and trailer with good intentions, then the cost of said truck/trailer/upkeep/cost of ownership unforseen add up and make it so they can't ride, when they could ride before with their slightly janky tow setup. Seriously. Get trailer brakes. For my 7K axles, the brake backing plates fully loaded bolt them on were $43 ea. That's the backer, shoes, mag, all brand new, wires hanging out the back, fully assembled, bolt on/rock out. Through AA wheel, not sure where all their locations are. Put a trans cooler on. Is this a spare vehicle truck? Or your driver truck? For your uses don't buy a diesel. Tundra or GM 6.0 2500HD if you must upgrade and still drive it. Mileage is **** after you get one of the above mentioned trucks. Cliffs. Get trailer brakes. Put on a trans cooler and make sure your rear tires are legit for the weight. If you must upgrade and you don't plan on using the heavy truck to work with and make you money, buy a gasser that will pull well and last a while. [/QUOTE]
