To TC'ers who have bought new trucks
I'm thinking.... ONLY in the thinking stage right now, of a new 2016 F-450 or F-550. They're awfully proud of those things. There's nothing what so ever wrong with mine, it hauls what I have fine...

* How did you like it?
* Did you find after you bought it you still had to upgrade it to haul your TC(besides tie-downs/hitch)?
* Did you notice improvements or not in handling?
* Power is a given - the new ones are locomotives on 6 wheels--was that a deciding factor?
* Any significant mileage changes?
* Overall - are you glad you did it?
Oops. . .missed a question #2
Our camper and gear are over 5000 pounds. The rig weighs in at 15,000 pounds.
I added Rancho 9000's. Stock shocks were too squishy.
I added SuperSprings (double leaf 5000lb capacity).
I added airbags and with 45lbs air the rig sits dead level.
I added the lower Torklift spring spacer without any result and will be taking them off.
The ride is smooth - it's a cruiser. DW calls it a luxury ride.
