You can tow a 5th wheel or gooseneck with that no problem, I know this because mine freakin truck sits higher according to the fact they say it has a 3" lift

ten foot bed ROCKS! Dually, big lift, big 22.5 rims don't do a THING for me...

On a similar note about the rims... DANG but it would be easier and WAY cheaper to get tires if my truck still came with 16s! I got a real decent pair of Michelins like came stock for the front, and have a pair of Toyo OC H/T ordered for the rear (to get me by for now).

22.5 is the only size I beleive that you can get a 14 or 16 ply tire and they simple handle weight way better yes ride suffers a little but ya know give and take and take and take

I like the 22.5's if the wheel wells could accomodate them at a lower height. Stick with a 37" tire with more gear and transmission. I really don't care for the lifted/bigwheel/skinny sidewall look. But if they could be stuffed without the lift, I think it would be great.

Real good lookin truck. If they sold it, I'd buy it. I'm a tall guy and a little lift never hurt me any.

I did notice the fact that the truck had traction bars as well as dual steering stabilizers up front. I think it's a little too bling for the working crowd, probably aimed at taking sales away from the CXT?

They have fender flares on the front where the front tires don't even make it past the stock fenders, but the tires in the back stick out past the stock fenders 6", and no fender flares? Seems like you could do the same thing with a C&C truck and put a long(er) bed on it. And you'd have 19.5's on it start.

I still don't understand why the tubs for the dual wheels? why not build the whole bft as wide as the rear fender wells, and make a true BFT ! Stretch the cab wider for even more room. then you would come down the road in a man sized truck, front tire contact track equal to the rear outer tire tracks.

Tuned by renowned turbo specialists Banks.....

Uh huh. but why do they still need gauges?

19.5 and a QC would complete it.
