Anyone that believes that a truck with 6 lugs, and a semifloating rear axle is as capable as a truck with 8 lugs and a full floating rear axle cannot be taken seriously.
Always like comments like this......
My navistar has 6 lugs, FA is 8000 lbs, RA 16,500 lbs.....Front is stronger than a typical 8 lug 25/35 series twuck.....so does that make said 25/35 series truck incapable too?
Lug quantity or full vs semi floating axel are useless terms if not used with in the same statistic or equal comparison.
I remember some 1500 GM's with full floaters behind the original 6.2L diesels when they came out, even has TH400/4l80E transmisions!
As noted tho, these two trucks should not be compared to ea other per say, nor should they be compared to my Navistar!
