Very nice truck!
You made a good decision as I would have gone with the 3/4 ton too. That's plenty of payload for what your using the truck for.

No its fully loaded, sunroof!, like everything!, It has the 6,7 High Output engine in it boasting 1200 lbs/Trq 500 hp! with increase GVWR to 11500 Lbs and maximum towing package, the truck can tow, 20500 Lbs and 3000 Lbs payload!, this is why I have fallen for this truck! I truly think its special!

Thanks so much for the kind words, yes there was that 350 for the same price with 1000 lbs more payload but after consideration, I KNOW I would never use it!, as it is, this 3/4 ton truck with the trailer attached, the hitch weight, I will still have 1700 lbs of cargo, added to the cargo of the trailer 2200 it's, 2 tons of possible cargo!...if I use half of the 1700 Lbs I would be pretty loaded! I did not want to fall in the payload anxiety because then you end up buying a 450 Duelly!, I had to consider daily driving the thing as well! No sincerely this truck is the one, I think its absolutely gorgeous, equipped they way we want, and more than sufficient capacity wise! we're picking it up today!
