rag boy thats exactly what I was talking about. Only seen a couple of those ever. One guy in vegas owned one, not sure why and I have seen several at the drag strip

I think they are bada$$. I would much rather do something like this than a hummer. Maybe in a couple years. Here are a bunch of good pics.

My truck is an F550. The dyno is 4000lbs. The 550 is a class 5 MDT but still has the little 6.0l. The class 4 and 5 Kodiak's still have the little duramax, until you get to a class 6 your not getting any difference in the engine. My truck can physically handle the trailer with ease but taking off with this dog of a powerstroke is another matter. It still gets 10mpg loaded. 13mpg empty. I am looking at a International Class 8 tractor with a 400 Detriot so it's easier to pull but I don't want to get a CDL yet for air brakes.

wow, thanks for the info there, had no idea it was like that. I just saw the big trailer, at 53 feet, it's just as long as a semi, seems you need a bigger tow rig!

Well I am selling my F550 and borrowed the white T600 until we complete a conversion on the black International. It is going to be my new tow rig once we make it a bobtail. The 550 handles everything but I can't stand pulling down on hills and the class 8 has no problems in this catagory. Guess I'll start studying for my CDL.
The white truck has a class IV hitch also so I thought I would take a pic hooked to my boat for you guys.
