Howdy All,
Well the wife said She would feel more comfortable with a 4x4 then with our current TV. I knew this day would come but not this soon.
We have the Cyclone which has a max weight of 18k I would like to be able to load the trailer up if I needed to.
So I would like to go with the GMC 3500 but it only has a max fifth wheel towing capacity of 15,900# which is only 400# over what we have now. Granted we don't have four wheel drive. We could of used it this last trip.
Question to all you GMC owners out there would you feel comfortable towing 18k with that truck? Or anywhere near that weight?
I would really like to stick with the GM brand they have taken care of there product and stood behind it.
Second Option we go with the Dodge 3500 Mega Cab I do have a growing family and would like the extra room for the kids and the reclining back seat is a plus. The towing capacity is 17,000# which is a lot closer to 18k then 15,900#
So same question to all you Dodge fans would you tow a 18k trailer with your 3500 and feel comfortable doing it? Or anywhere near that weight? I have never owned a Dodge so this is new to me. People that own them seem pretty happy with them.
