It’s a beast!
PDI went well, they got the wrong fan, but I can live with it. Me thinks me needs a new truck!

be careful...
bigger truck occasionally leads to even bigger trailer (and so on)

Of course you need a new truck. It's part of the process. <gigglesnort>

Nice looking trailer.

Not sure which model that is but I have a 27VRL SuperV weighing in around 7500. Started with a 2015 1500 like yours. 5.3 w/3.42. Traded in on a 2018 2500 6.0 w/4.10. What a difference!

Oh, and the 6.0 gas does not have the cylinder deactivation that the 5.3 has. Yay! Lol
