Weight police

So I weighed my monty that I pull with my GMC 2500 diesel. Rear axle weight was 7100 pounds. Oh no that's a little heavy for my posted weight. So I started down the slippery slope of a new vehicle. Looked at the Ford 350 but the turning radius is crap. Let's look at the f450, good turning radius check, adaptive cruise control check, weight capacity to haul my Monty check, $90,000 ....ummm not seeing that. So i started looking at semi trucks. Since i own a trucking company why not. I found a sweet 2015 freightliner, 10 speed auto, adaptive cruise, adaptive braking, abs, disc brakes on all tires. 190 gallons of fuel, yep no stinking 35 gallon fuel tank here. 300 hours later, after removing an axle, customizing the interior to my liking I have this. The truck was 55k and I put 10k into it. 300k miles 2015 cascadia.
