Looks cool but has very limited purposes.

Thumbs down read the text for a real laugh

What a bunch of donkeys if you read the ad for the car hauler they must be a lot better at upgrades and adders than any of us on DTR

( we just got back from driving it 900 miles and with just the monster exhaust and the TST products box on it we averaged 26-28 MPG (get this) running it at 70-80 MPH) Must be we all need to add that big wing to the roof

Maybe they will trade me even up for my ocean front land here in michigan

So would it still be considered a 1 ton with the second rear axle? If you loaded it on what the axles were rated for you'd still get busted by the weight police by the door stickers correct?

I think $70,000 could have bought a decent used Pete, that's just me thinkin' though. It is unique though.

Just curious, in what type of situation would that apply?

That about covers it. The common situation that will get you in trouble is simply backing up into a driveway that's higher than the street. You gotta pull up and make a run at it.
