    i"ld be the first to order 1 problem is

    1 if you breakdown it"s a medium duty tow no 26k gvw bed is 24' long

    2 try finding a parking space and 3

    the turning radius is indiana


    i wish manufactorers would get in there head wehat most dually operators are really looking for if ford / chevy /dodge made a truck with grunt like this and range like this but shut off say 4 cyl of a v10 when in traffic so it sucked less and made it work freindly something most megacab owners will admit sucks and price it accordingly they"ld sell like hotcakes.

    the other probelm is the govt is cracking down on dually combinations for cdls but they never advertise that
