Ha! I'm ahead of you! LOL I'm on truck #4 in 8 years. The first was a 2500 to pull a Cougar XLite 5th, then a F350 diesel SRW (over payload) to pull the Montana, then the RAM 3500 SRW that was good with the Montana but overloaded with the recently acquired Bigfoot. Now the dually. Now I'm free to trade the POS Montana for anything.
This all started in 1980? with a light duty F250 300 six cylinder and a Tejas cabover of unknown weight, but I'm sure overloaded.
Expensive lessons for me.
Maiden voyage for the dually and Bigfoot is this coming week, hopefully.
Aside from upgrading to the dually, this only proves you like buying new trucks. In general, truck #2and #3 were the same vehicle ratings wise and #1 was also the same from a practical (not by ratings) standpoint.
Actually #1 and #2 were used. #1 was a GMC 2500 6.0 gasser bought to pull a 21ft boat. Then we talked about a travel trailer and got the Cougar 5th wheel. It pulled it screaming up hills. Traded that on the used 2014? F350 SRW. Much better so we upgraded to the Montana HC. The F350 had a payload of 3267#. I was over that a good bit. Traded to the new Ram 3500 SRW with a payload of 4018#. I was good until I got the Bigfoot. Loaded heavy for a winter trip I was 4500+. Thus the dually.
