Hi, Your sig shows a 2004 F350. My research shows you are probably over both the GAWR and the GCWR of your truck.

Hi all,

I find this thread very interesting. Many, many opinions, and I think that is great. What is also interesting, thanks to Jim, is to point out that many of the older trucks even dually trucks don't have the ratings that the newer trucks have. In fact that the newer 3500 SWRs have higher ratings than some of the 3 to 4 year old dually trucks have.

What does this all mean? Well to me if your truck suits your needs and you are happy with it, that's great. My old Dodge and SOB were a great pair together but when I replaced with my 2012 Silverado, the Dodge didn't even come close in any aspect. This is to be expected because of the 13 years difference in technology. So if an when I replace the Montana, I most likely will have to replace the truck unless I down size. I really cannot imagine me getting a larger rig, but if I get a something with more weight....it's dually time.

Jay
