towing a car is not working a truck.


unless it will consistently have at least 5klbs behind it on a daily basis, dont waste your time and money.
It's going to more than likely have an enclosed trailer behind it for the track. (I've got a buddy up north that has one and willing to sell it to me for 3k) I'll be using it for other things too, not just towing.

I've found 02s and up to 05 for under 16. Six speed powerstrokes and one cummins diesel. I don't want a brand new truck. Yes, I've been to VMP on quite a few occassions.
