Holy shite man. Can I get a pic of that? We had a 56' triple axle race car trailer and that took a Peterbilt. Of course we had race cars in it. You need to look into what josey posted. My dad had a f-450 and the governor was set at 75 or 80 from ford. Can't remember. Don't know if its still like that.

My buddy had a F450 dually for a short while and it got shitty mileage and would barely go the speed limit on the interstate.

But if he is pulling up to 16-18K he may need it. Although the new 1 tons may have tow rating that high.

All of the new one tons can be bought rated over 20k

The current dodge is rated at 30k. They're heavy SOBs though.

I think with the F450 you get an extra leaf and 4.56's and about 2 gallons to the mile.
