New Truck
Looks like I may have found what I was looking for in my quest to move up to a fifth wheel, it will be a shame to lose the VW but I just could not find the right hitch to go on the roof.

Don, 2500 or 3500? The other Poster has a 2015 2500, maybe he has CCC issues?

It's a 2500 Brian, I did not want to go the 3500 route and it will do all I want it to do.

When I bought they were giving the Diesel away because it was 1 of 2 (other was the typical Amish work truck version in brown) and it had been sitting on their lot for four months. At that point the price was just higher than the same gasser. I was surprised, but I guess it is a niche market looking for the big boys when most who drive trucks never even use them for their purpose (obviously not all of us but the other folks on the road).

This one is High Country duramax, they are giving the allison tranny 'free' with my employee discount and all the other incentives it becomes hard to look the other way,I shop in Exeter at Huron Motor Products have done for the last 26 years, the only honest one I found so I stuck with it.
