I had the Rep saying similar about the Big Sky! Holy Buckets, those are up over 16K gross with a 20% pin weight of up to 3,200 lbs. The pin itself is over the limit of a 3/4 ton. I figured about then that he worked out of the Cougar Plant and drove an Avalanche with a tent and a Coleman stove in the back.

Funny, he also said that Keytsone didn't put all the weight into the Big Sky like they previously did on the Cambridge because they still wanted to target the 3/4 - 1 ton market. He specifically said they excluded Corian and the big 100-gal tank - WRONG - Within 1 year of that line of nonsense, Keystone introduces Corian counters and 100-gal fresh water tanks in the entire fleet! (not that I'm complaining)

Other than the tailgate is about chest level rather than belt level, my F350 looks, rides, parks, gets the same mpg, and even costs about the same as it's F250 counterpart. The only difference is, I don't have to modify it to tow a Montana. I just don't understand the hesitation.
