Heres the thread where no one asks if their truck can tow their boat........finally.
08 3500 diese 6.7 straight 6 rated to tow 16200 pounds without a thought.
Includes stock exhaust brake
Lets see your hardware.no overloaded 150s or toys
I was specing a Dodge 3500 on their site... they only come with cloth or vinyl? Is the vinyl the stick-to-your-skin type vinyl? Also, it says 10,000lb tow capacity... how do I get that to 16k without adding more wheels?
6 Speed manual transmission (impossible to stall in 4 low / granny gear), 4.10 gears, EGR delete, ARP head studs, SCT 100 hp tune for everyday driving and towing, 4" turbo back exhaust. I have pulled onto the scales @ just over 34,000lbs (truck, 36cu/yd goose neck dump trailer full) without a problem. Nathan K3LA Train horns with all 3/4" I.D. hoses and 200 PSI compressor, 11 gal tank, Alcoa 22.5" wheels.

no they have leather in the Sport or Laramie packages
10000 is gross weight. I know these big numbers can get confusing

I want the horns....bet that'll get the left lane drivin', cell phone talkin' crowd outta the way.....not to mention those strollin' thru a cross walk.

To be honest with you, I really have to consider when I'm going to let someone have it because they are unbelievably loud. I almost had someone flip their vehicle one time and it kinda made me think about it a little. And, I can not blow them with my windows open. But they are fun for the highschool kids that dare you to run them over when they walk infront of you.

Hey, I want a big truck so I can abuse my FJ on the trails only... but I'm not dropping $50k for a vehicle I only use to put a boat in and out of the salt... just doesn't make sense. And my FJ is far too fun a vehicle to trade in on a diesel pickup.... Buying a $3-5k low mileage milspec truck is a quick fix, plus I don't care if it gets fish guts and salt water all over it.... Whatever I get it will probably never disconnect from the trailer anyway. Mark my words, I'll have a diesel truck within 6 months
Besides, my boat sports a cummins so I should be a member of this club anyway lol

Nathan's.
Grover's here. 150PSI and I need a bigger tank.
I'd had to clear some 7AM garage sale, park in the middle of the road people in the neighborhood on the way to work the other morning. I tried to just bump it and the button stuck.
They moved.

Here's a picture of the trumpets when I installed them. My son was 4 in the picture.
Does your wife get it?
Mine doesn't.
