Yes, it's big, but did you check the HP?

The CTD has more power.

It must be geared very low to pull that much weight.

Just a rich boy's play toy. How in the heck would you ever hitch a gooseneck or 5ver up to it?

Maybe someday someone will get serious about the trailer towing market and build something useful for heavy pullers without us having to build our own with a crew cab Pete 330 or FL-70 with a custom towing bed. Are you listening, Dodge?

My neighbor got the flat-bed version it is pretty quiet but has had some minor issues already. I really don't like the mirrors I bet alot will get broken off on our narrow bridges on US 101.
