Supposed to poop on company dime.

I love the color on the toyota, goes good with the chrome. :tup:

If you want to pull a 28ish trailer you will want a diesel dually. Bob's 24ft trailer squatted his truck really good. My suggestion would be this. If you get a 18' to 20' enclosed trailer you could use a 1500 maybe. It won't be very comfortable. I would recommend at least a 2500 for 20' or above. 28' is dually territory. You want to be comfortable towing. So go a little bigger and you will save yourself a ton of headache down the road. Wear and tear on the truck is a major issue. It is expensive to run a diesel. Upkeep and maintenance can be killer. Just my .02.

Proper anti-seize arriving next week. Didn't want to use the copper stuff I have on the SPL FUCAs.

Thank you, I appreciate the advice and will take it to heart. 28 is really dream territory, I am guessing my reality budget will be about a 20'er.

Diesels are towing kings. And definitely not more expensive in the long run. Maybe expensive comparatively on an annual basis. But the longevity factor...

Unfortunately adding a full bidet fixture like BoneZ had in his hotel would required renovating the bathroom configuration :(

I don't they are that expensive to maintain. My Z and wife's Audi are way more expensive. Mine is 2002 been paid off longer than I can remember so I don't even count regular maintenance. What will cost you is when things that wear out. The front end will go and all that will need to repair every 5 years or so. Hopefully you want to replace injectors or something like that. I bought an external 50 gallon external fuel tank. I make it so nice not to worry about fuel stops. Now they necessity stops! She pulls my 24 footer with no issues at all. I love my old smoker!

Mine is a necessity for me. I have to own it for what I do. The new trucks are way more expensive to maintain. The pre-emission trucks, not so much. That's what Hotrodz and I have.

I should have got a gooseneck because that is what I normally tow and I am setup better for than my bumper pull. They are just more expensive and I cheeped out. I do like my trailer though.
