In 2005 they did not offer the factory fifth wheel set up like you see on new models. I have a 2011 and I think that only started in 2012. The key to look for if you plan to tow is making sure you have the factory over load spring installed if you plan to pull anything real heavy.
Yeah robdnorm, I was going to say that in 2005 the tow command was the big deal. But I do have removable bolts in the right places where no holes should have to be drilled.
I am going to see if I can find the window sticker where I bought it new to see if it has the right rear-end, or crawl under and look.
I was not interested in goose-necks back then, just pulling a BP horse trailer. Hindsight now I wish I had that. But I do have enough truck to haul the 5er I am getting. Just not looking forward to paying another $50k for a truck that has that already. Make use of what I got. First sign of impending engine trouble may have me looking though. Been ok so far. Turbo, EGR, Ignition Module replaced already. Its mostly from lack of use, just got 43k miles.
