Sorry bucky, didnt realize this was your space. You could have given your information without being impolite, but some strive for attention in other ways than answering returning an answer by addressing what was stated.
Mad Norsky, I also prefer a dually, But I also dont believe one needs a 450/4500 to tow a 15,000# 5er (GVW),
Barb and Tom, thank you for calling my truck a surbarban garbage truck, you've offended more in here than just me my making that statement...and its "brakes", not "breakes" ..and yes, I know quiet a bit about brakes, tires and ABS systems. I've been in manufacturing since 75', Im an engineer with a lot of common sense and physics was a big part of my job while in R&D. I know all the weights and if you did the research on these forums, Im one of those who has, more often than not, been called , "the weight police". You win, Im tired of making bucky mad. You're right, you need a 450/4500 to tow a 15,000 5er and for anything over that, one needs a semi such as a Volvo, Freightliner etc..can neverhave too much truck:R
