Ram/Ford 45/5500 trucks for TC hauler

We have an Okanagan 116 Ultimate Suite that we had on a 1999 F350 Crew Cab dully, the truck with the 7.3 diesel handled the load very well, added Ride Rite air bag kit and went to 19.5 tires, Scaled in at just shy of 30,000lb. with the boat this was a considerable amount over legal weight I know the truck was good for the weight but it always haunted me about being checked by the highway patrol and shut down. As I did and lots of people on the forum, we all try and build up a lighter truck to handle the heavy and sometimes unstable camper load. In 2008 we purchased a F550 also crew cab but with the 6.4 diesel and custom built aluminum service body. This unit handles the load lots better. Geared lower to pull the mountain passes to get to the west coast. Total scale in now just a few hundred over 30,000lb. Defiantly a harsh ride when empty but its job is to haul the camper and it does it well. we have a F150 to drive when not camping. also as I have noticed the local authorities in some states have a different view of trucks larger than the 350s. (must stop at scales and commercially plate) Don't have this problem in Alberta. Ultimately we are responsible for our families and the other people on the road. If you question your weights at all go with the heavier truck and rest at ease you are safe.
