[QUOTE="blacksheep10, post: 711885, member: 13"] Everyone I know that has bought a diesel or bigger truck just to pull their crawler (that, lets be honest, gets out 5x a year) ends up mad about paying tags, taxes, maintenance, insurance etc on an expensive unit that mostly sits. When you try to drive it as a driver, it gets **** mileage, and if its a diesel, maintenance is way more expensive. To watch it sit and soak up money. If you can manage with what you have, do it. The only thing you are playing with fire on with your truck is trans and rear end. $1600-2200 ish to do a trans and a few hundred to do a rear if you don't roast everything. Keep good oil in the rear and check it and get a trans cooler. Most people complain about stopping a big load with a half ton, hopefully your trailer has good brakes and you have a decent brake controller. Good tires on the rear is a big deal as well, even without a bunch of tongue weight. [/QUOTE]
