Been looking at this for a few days now,finally took it today for a spin.Rides great,seems to have decent power to pull a trailer.Just have to make sure its what i want,was thinking a dually but that thing is going to be a pain in the ass to drive around town all the time.

 

Fuck it, do it. It matches your other whip - has enough ass to pull the trailer (my lil 6 cylinder pulls my car), and with the market in the shitter & gas through the roof - you should be STEALING that fugging thing bro.

 

Adam you have an enclosed trailer correct? You might realy want to think about the dually. Hook it up tp your trailer and see how it pulls esp. up hills.

 

fuck that sclade....F250'S can be had cheap.....I would pull a enclosed trailer with that...pulling may be easy...have fun stopping

 

Trailer brakes?

 

where does the 5th wheel go?

 

with brakes it will be fine but ill tell ya what the difference between my duramac dually and my 2500 with the 454 is night and day. That thing will pull an enclosed box like shit.

find an f250 or f350 super duty diesel 4x4 non dually and that will be great.. btw down in FL here i never had an issue with my dually being a pain in the ass at all. Always 5x more parting then needed at stores , wide straight flat roads ect. You have rode around in traffic with my dually. Once your used to driving it its like its not any different then a normal truck and normal trucks then feel weird.

 

Yep - buy a diesel F250 or F350 4WD. Avoid the first couple years of the 6.0 if possible. They've never been cheaper than they are right now and there will always be a resale market (all be it smaller at times) for a nice clean diesel truck. You'll get a lot more truck for your money, it'll tow ten times better/more efficiently, and you can still get leather, a sunroof, navigation, etc if that's what you're into. Escalades are just Tahoe/Suburban LT's with some cheap woodgrain and HID's...don't bother.
