Great truck and congrats! Curious, why the 3.73's? Did you get the puck system? If so I would highly recommend one of these!

As,long as we got the aisin tranny the 373"s was not a make or break deal..would have taken 342 or the 410's ..but was happy with 373...didnt feel the need for the 4.10 'and was hopjng for possibly a bit better gas mileage....took a long rime finding the truck with the right tranny the right color the right interior etc. that my husbamd wanted...We do have a hitch that we got last fall when we bought our fifth wheel ..it's a slider hutch and it's a husky ...would that would be fine to use ?...going to go to the dealer and check it out for installation when my husband gets back...is there really a need for a certain type of hitch because were blind on this ...this is what the dealer sold us when we bought our 5th wheel

If you have the factory puck system I would advise selling your hitch and getting a B&W as shown above. Great truck deserves a great hitch.

. Dh just got home and yes it does have the puck system so it looks like we're going to need a different hitch… Are there different sizes in the companion hitch ? it looks like I only am only seeing one and it's goes to 25,000 pound weight capability…our trailer dry weight is around 13,000 so 25,000 seems a little overkill ..would really like to have the dealership install as dh,doesn't really want to be bothered with it and not to mention wants to make sure it's done the right way…but I'm just wondering if it would be less expensive for us to get it ourselves versus having them get it..any places that you would recommend getting it from… Seems like it's around 1200 which I am not happy with… Funds are running low and we still have a wedding to pay for this year??...and other any other hitches that would work with this truck that may be a little less expensive ? curt or reese?
