Some of you have seen it at some ARFCOM shoots. It was getting tired but did serve us
well for 9 years. In less than 2.5 years it towed our travel trailers to 24 outings including a trip to stone mountain. It was a pain in the rear to load the Kayaks on top of it.  Yesterday we replaced it with a 2015 Ram 2500. This is the nicest vehicle I have ever owed and I am thankful and feel blessed to be able to buy it. I am going to add Thule adjustable racks on it to carry the Kayaks. Should be much easier to load than the Armada was.  |

The Travel trailer weighs around 6000# loaded. The 1/2 tons are rated for 9000 to 10000
in a perfect world. This truck will tow 17000 so I feel that it was worth the extra cost and will last much longer. We may upgrade the TT in 5 to 6 years. The new truck is prepped for a 5th wheel if we decide to go that way. I still have my Jeep and the Wife has her Mini so this will only be driven a couple times a week and then used to tow the TT on our trips that we go on about once a month. This will very likely be the last truck we buy. |

Its the only medium class jake available. I wish there was space to engineer one for 7.3's. Nice truck |

I am at a whopping 130 miles right now. |
