Why tow that dinky trailer with it? Heck, just get a "Wide Load" sign and set that trailer sideways on top of the bed. 
That is an awesome looking truck.

All that truck, and it can't even pull a gooseneck, what a waist. They ought to put a decent hauler bed on it and actually be able to use it for what it was designed for.

Re:Nice rig with Cat/Allison combo
I'm sure you wouldn't even feel a bumper hitch of almost any weight on that thing. The F650 does not come from the factory with a bed on it. This frame was shortened and the dually bed installed. I personally think that a 5th wheel on it (like a highway tractor) would be fine but aftermarket beds look a bit too hick for my taste. I also think this truck is a bit of a showpiece for the company. I just thought it was kinda cool. That's why I posted the pic.

I agree. But I heard somewhere that DC/Dodge was gonna bring out a 5500 and a 6500. As a chassis cab, with the proper aluminum flatbed it'll outpull that Ford. Alum fb's don't weigh as much as steel and are twice as strong. Just rattle a bit more.

Re:Nice rig with Cat/Allison combo
I saw the thread at the dieselstop. Said the truck started @ $70K, then after adding all the goodies it was $100K out the door; also includes 300hp/920Tq.
Nice truck for sure, but a 100G's.
