Really???????

My combined is 28K with 3:42 gears. It performs great! 9.5 hand calc average West Coast Towing.

Pulls 6% grades at 55 or more.

So whatever the gear ratio with the size of RV he is talking about will be no problem at all!

That terrable! My 4.10 rear ended dually gets 11.5-12.5 hand calculated all day

With the 6 speed auto the 3.42's don't hurt a thing.

I have a 2010, love it, but there is a big difference between the 5.9 and the 6.7 CTD. Milage being the biggest, but it still has power!!!

Good Luck!!!

Truck is new, yes its a diesel, not a daily driver, 4.10 gears, we have a 12,000 lb 5ver but when wife retires we plan to purchase another 5ver.

price 40,459.
trade 04 ctd 4x4 larime 17,500, 116,000 miles

I have had my 2011 HO since 9-11 and it has performed flawlessly with 23K on the clock.

Weak brake controller so I installed a MaxBrake. The 12 has an awesome controller.

IMHO you are looking at the best truck on the market.

I love mine!

What he said..

Our company had 4 of them, they will pull anything you hook 'em to.

Lemme guess:
Diesel
6 speed
Quad cab

Coach:
12K dry weight
36-39 foot

Probably be ok loaded if my guesses are correct.

Rear end ratio? If its a 3.42 then no. If its a 3.73 o 4.10 you will love it.

Diesel? Gas? Mileage? Condition? Price? Daily driver? How much towing do you plan to do?
