Thanks Don for the reply and Yes we are enjoying our new truck and trailer, I hope to make one of the Hartland Rallies one of these days, they sound like a lot of fun

Well it has been a while sense I posted anything about my new truck and trailer, I picked up the Cyclone right at the factory in Elkhart, In., and pulled it from there out to Dayton, Oh., for the Ham Radio convention and stayed in it for 4 days and then pulled it home to Cross Lake, Mn. Then...

Just want everyone to know that I got the 5th wheel hitch that was shipped out of CA. I had a post about this a few weeks ago, the hitch came on time, with free shipping, I did get the 24K reese elite series, and it dropped right into the mount that had been installed in the truck, now I just...

Well everyone I bought the new truck, a 2013 F-350 King Ranch, Crew Cab, 4x4, with the 6.7L Diesel, I got it on Wednesday and took it out and put 200+ miles on it, started out at just over 14 mpg and by the time I got home I was getting 19.2 mpg. Can't believe how much nicer of a ride it has...

Hi Jim, Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you but just been busy buying a new truck. The company that I got the hitch from is American RV Company, there phone is 626-513-4777, they are in Azusa, CA., their web site is sales@americanrvcompany.com

WOW, It sure pays to shop around, today I found a company out of CA., and bought the 25K Reese Elite hitch for $1,019.99, this sells every where else for just over $1,600.00, and also had free shipping. the 18K would have cost me more then this did.:angel::):cool:

Thank you every one for the replys, and yes my truck has the Elite mount in place for the Reese Signature Series 5th wheel hitch, the difference in price between the 18K and the 24K hitch is about $400.00 or so, but I think you all have helped me with a decision, think I will just go with the...

Well I checked and my old truck does have the LS, the new truck does not, however I'm not going to let that be a deal breaker, my 07 CC diesel seams to get stuck often in the winter just because of all the weight that is on the front due to the diesel engine, I just put in 4 wheel drive for a...

We just ordered a new 4100 King about 2 weeks ago and I think it goes into production next week, I also just bought a new Ford F-350 DRW diesel to pull it with, it has the mount installed for the Reese Elite series drop in style hitch, is the 18,000 lb hitch large enough to handle this trailer...

Thanks everyone for the input, it sure has been helpful, I should look and see what my 07 F-350 is, do not know if it is LS or not, and yes the new truck is a 4 x 4, I would not own another truck with out it

OK,I'm looking at a new F-350 DRW at my local dealer, it is a King Ranch and is loaded, but it has a standard rear end, not the limited slip, is this a big thing ??

Hi Jim, I just ordered a King 4100, should be here by the end of April sometime, we had a 39ft Raptor and I had switched out the pin box after the first trip, what a difference, took the back slap out of the seat and made for a much smoother ride, I have the Air Borne model and did remove it...

Thanks Duane, I went to that site and requested it. Thanks for the info.

Well just did a bunch of research and found out that making a Duelly out of my 2007 F-350 diesel is not a option, so now the search is on for a 2013 Ford F-350 DRW diesel. Thanks for the info here. Will let you all know how the search goes.

I wonder if it would be worth making a DRW out of my truck? it is a F-350 and the rear axle looks like it will accommodate a set of duels I would just have to find a set of fenders for the box. I had no problem towing the old trailer and that was a toy hauler, we would load a Polaris Ranger in...
