Well,first, unless you have a DRW or a gas motor, you don't have 4.30 gears. Unless you did a swap out. Ford's SRW trucks for that year all came with 3.73 gears.
Secondly, you don't have the 26k GCWR unless you have the dually with the tow boss package. The DRW with 4.30 gears was the only truck you could get that year with the 26,000 GCWR.
If you have the diesel, your truck weighs close to 8000lbs, with full fuel and no people in it. I know, I owned a 2006 DRW and my truck was 8200lbs with full fuel, no people and my 5th wheel hitch.
So, in short, if you go by the weight ratings, that Warrior you are looking at is going to put you over the weight ratings of your truck BIG TIME!!!!
When I had my sand rail and a full load hooked up for Thanksgiving, I was at 25,980lbs. I put my rig on a CAT scale.
My trailer is not as heavy as the one you are looking at.
Yep, thats what I was looking for. Thanks for confirming all that... Now I need to find a new truck or smaller rig...
I have been trying to search for a bigger truck, Can someone post up a list of names of the trucks that can tow this thing, I'm having a hard time searching, I have a few i.e.,
1) f550
2) topkick /kodiak
