Mega Cabs were for quite a while only available with a short bed.

The air ride pin will smooth the shocks coming from or going to the trailer. But the 1st 2 hits come from the truck axles.

The exact reason when I replaced the Bridgestone R250's I went with the Sailun. I don't need the G range tire, but I could not beat the price.:socool:

The Mountaineer is the 3rd RV we have bought from Northgate RV, starting with a popup in 1999. Can't complain about the service, I think they've worked on all of them, even the one they didn't sell.

The L5P motors use a lot more than the LML's did. The LML's used def at about 1 gallon def 100 gallons of diesel.

Should be on the VIN tag on the lower left front, GAWR. I can't see any way with a 14,000# GVWR not to have minimum 6000# axles. 12,500# would be about all 5200# axles would support
