And, I don't need that much max towing anyway. My trailer max is 16,500 anyways, so I don't need more than that, which all of the 250/0 can handle, BUT they can't handle the pin weight. SMH...
I didn't say this in my OP, but I do like the idea of a 10 speed transmission. I think that would be the ultimate towing slush box. It should be able to drop down a gear on small hills, and not over-rev the engine like my current truck does. Then again, it probably doesn't need a 10 speed transmission when it has over 900 ft-lbs of torque... |
The math will add up as i use my truck to haul my friends equipment trailer loaded with a backhoe on a goose neck at 24000 lbs 3 axle but only have 2800 pounds on the ball. that might be the confusion.
