Not sure what would fit my needs. But something like this....
trailer gvw max is 20K lbs / 2 = 10K minimum RA size. Not sure if any true 35 series rigs have a 10K grawr. Puts me in a class 4 rig.
Enough HP to moter up a 5-6% freeway grade in the 40 mph range minimum
Enough torque, gearing in trans, axels with a tire diam factor to go up a min 30% grade in RWD, and prefer up to 40%! 60-70% in 4wd if I went that route.
Payload for the hw, passengers, other asstd goodies. Probably around 6K minimum.....again, not sure a 35 has this unless it is a reg cab dually.....
Tow ratings?!?!?! what the heck are those......the SAE specs only have a minimum 12% grade, barely enough payload for a driver and max HW one might use in the truck.....so will NOT follow those goofball POJS recommendations......
Just my 02, not that they are worth anything more than maybe a half of a penny candy!
