The VQ engine (35 or 40) is rock solid.
I prefer the VQ40, it's a lot peppier than the 35

We ran that tab up over 1k. Worth it.

And I will add. People hate on daycare but my kids are better socialized for it. They problem solve and learn to work with others. Besides sickness, I think it has been beneficial as they have begun preschool.
This.
My wife stayed home with our third for a couple of years. Once he started daycare, he was absolutely behind on the social aspect of things compared to my other 2 that went to daycare at a young age.

The rule is written that the pitcher must gain ground towards the target. So if they intend to pick off they must gain ground towards first base.
It's a good move, but I would call it a balk since he started to home then picked off once he saw the runner jump.

I'm more interested in what make is more reliable between Ram, Ford and Chevy and what years are better or worse. I'm open to buy used.
Pay attention to your trucks rating and the trailer you're towing. Blanket statements won't solve it.
You're in 1 ton territory, 100%. If it's just a tow rig, I'd get a dual wheel. Ram will give you your best bang for your buck.
Personally, I'd go with a Duramax and Allison trans. The real Allison trans not the simply branded Allison trans of the newer models. Further, if it was just my tow rig. I'm getting pre emissions dual wheel LML Duramax.

You still have reading issues. Several posts on several pages saying 5th wheel = 1 ton dually.

So a 2500 with a factory lift package, max trailering package, and airbags, all to proclaim it's just as good as a 1 ton? I'm not even understanding how you are intending to help the OP.
By all means, OP, buy the 3/4 ton like BoogaBear and spend all the money upgrading it, or just get the stock 1 ton truck, preferably the dually, and not worry about it. Why be on the bleeding edge of within spec when it's just as easy to have a much larger margin of safety for a small upcharge that will be made up on resale?
Can you fricking read?
I literally told the OP that based on the weight of his trailer he would need at least a 1 ton.
You and the merry band of idiots came in here saying all sorts of nonsense about how 3/4 ton trucks can't tow fifth wheels.
I don't believe you know wtf you're talking about, my point all along was stop making blanket statements that 3/4 tons can't tow fifth wheels. They can, they are more than capable in certain scenarios. Also, airbags improve ride quality when towing regardless of 1 ton or 3/4 ton, they do not improve capacity, so it's an upgrade most will make anyway.

I wonder how much overlap there is with people who "level" their truck, raising the front end to match the unloaded height of the rear, and then complaining when the rear appears to sag lower with a trailer so then they airbag the rear.
BoogaBear:

I converted my fifth wheel to a gooseneck hitch and have airbags to keep my truck level while towing.
Nailed it.
No you didn't, my truck is stock height. My 5th wheel squats the rear 2 inches. Air bags level it back out while towing. Nice try though.
ETA: stock height for AT4 package before someone asks, factory 2 inch lift.

You likely obviously researched it, and I haven't to that degree.
I was basing my opinion on past experiences with manufacturers tending to be overly optimistic on things like HP and MPG.
There's a TON of incorrect information on both sides of the argument. People are obviously overloaded and then you have people saying you need an F-450 to tow a 25 ft travel trailer.
I do not disagree that it's better to be safe than sorry with most idiots that just hook it up and haul arse.
Research your truck, know it's capabilities, find a trailer that fits it, tow smart. I converted my fifth wheel to a gooseneck hitch and have airbags to keep my truck level while towing.

Tires/rims/brakes are all the same?
Yes. A GM 2500 with max tow is a 3500 with a 2500 badge.
quote:
100% disagree.
All these manufacturers are competitive with one another and they know consumers make decisions based on hp, towing, mpg, etc.
Misinformation here and from downshift.
Chevy/GMC 2500 with max tow package, the only difference between that and a 1 ton SRW is the rear end. Leaf springs are the same, axles are the same, brakes are the same but one of them has a higher payload, when they are otherwise identical.
Regulation BS, not capability.
ETA: ram is the only 3/4 I see regularly with the 10k vehicle rating. GM and Ford are 11,350.

My 6.7L diesel F250 Super Duty would tow that comfortably. I don’t think you’d need the 350 dually.
Likely would, 100%. You would however be over payload numbers.
I also truly believe stated payload numbers on 3/4 ton trucks are bullshite due to regulations, they are much more capable than the sticker on the door. However, good luck getting that to hold up in court.

Absolutely this.
Anyone that disagrees can't math well.
I posted my actual numbers on the first page, explain to me where my 3/4 is underrated to pull my fifth wheel.
While you're at it, explain to me the difference between a 3/4 ton max tow vs a 1 ton SRW.
