All ActivityMost RecentMost LikesSolutionsRe: Diesel vs gas......................I have a 2006 GMC HD Gas burner. It has the Allison transmission, is a four door crew cab, and has 10-ply 16" tires on it. I live in Alabama and did not know it until I went to purchase a tag for it that it was considered a "special tag" truck because of its weight and capacity. According to the DMV it weighs over 8,000 lbs. so I had to buy a more expensive tag. I have a 35 ft. Pilgrim bumper pull with 2 slides and it pulls it like it is not even back there. I also own a construction company and work it a good bit. I have put a pallet of concrete in the back of it with tool boxes and calculated the weight and had over 4100 lbs. in the bed! It is the only time I have ever seen that truck squat. I have the 6.0 not the V-10 gas burner. I am really wanting to upgrade to a 5th wheel toy hauler but am wanting input on if I will have trouble hauling a 38 to 40 ft. toy hauler. I am like the other gentleman, the biggest problem I have is that the title to my truck and trailer are in my gun vault! :) Can I pull the bigger 5th wheels or do I need to upgrade to a dually?
