As others have said the PU 450 is not a TC machine. Mine handles it fine but I pull a 5th wheel most of the time. I could have got by with a 350 (or a 3500) but the turning radius won me over. That with the 19.5s and other extras it just won. Price wasn't too far off a 350 when we did all the numbers. Basically the price delta covered the cost of the 19.5s if I were to go to Rickson and buy a good set.
Negatives besides the decreased payload vs the 350: Some insurance companies will not insure a 450, most companies will not finance if that is required and last i checked there are no airbags yet for the 15+ 450PU
