I am looking into doing auto transport, question about what truck to get
 
So I just moved to Az and I am going to get into auto transportation. I know I am going with a MegaCab, 6spd. What gears should I go with? My guess is 4.10's. Has anyone heard about a package that allows you to tow more then the older model 3500? I had someone tell me about it but there was no information out yet. What type of mileage should I assume with a loaded trailer. Last of all does anyone know what insurance would cost and who to go through?

Just found out that they only have 3.73's for a 6spd.

A Mega Cab dually has a rating of only 10500 pounds total weight in/on the truck. Commercially this gets checked from time to time. If you plan to do auto transport, some of the wedge trailers put a lot of pin weight onto the truck...the mega cab will really limit you. Also, if the plan for the mega cab is for a bigger area for sleeping, its not a legal sleeper berth...I found out all of this the hard way with my mega cab.

Just a heads up for you.

Well dang, thanks for that info. Looks like you saved me some troubles.
