Just wait and see.
BTW my info comes from a Ford Dealership owner. He said they are probably DEEPER than GM. Fancy accounting didn't help Enron either.

That is one big setup Dave did you have to get your CDL
I will say that I liked the looks of my Chevy better, but it just sucked at pulling and stopping something this big. Ford got it together with this truck.

The hardest part of buying this was telling my dad. He was a GM dealer for 30+ years and worked for GM for 10+ before that. He even said that I made the right decision. Hey, I still own an Escalade

All I can say is....where the hell do you park those things? The picture of your house (assuming that's yours) with the rigs in front doesn't look like there is much room.

I don't store it at out house. I have a storage lot I keep it in. Spot is 50ft x 14ft. Plenty for opening up the slides on it and working on it there. I just bring it to the house the day before we go somewhere and get it loaded up.

Yep, had the Allison/Duramax. It was the newer one than yours and had more power, but still not enough. I put the trailer on the scales this past weekend. 18100lbs.

No gas smells inside at all. The garage is completely isolated from the living area. Plus I keep the vents on the side open. Ford emblem doesn't bother me anymore. It did at first, but after our 3800 mile towing trip, I let it slide.

No GT3 in there. But it will fit a Mini. We thought about getting a Mini for when we travel the US. Makes for a smaller car to get around after we get to destinations.

The ATVs weigh in at 2500lbs. Plus there is 130 gallons of water and 48 gallons of fuel behind the axle as well. It has it's own fuel pump for all the toys.

when you are pulling with a freight train, you do not have to consider the behind the axle crap..

The truck is about 9200lbs with no one in it. It keeps the 18000lbs under control.

I just don't know if the GT3 would fit. The ramp angle is a killer on it. Nothing like my old 24ft enclosed trailer. Maybe a Suzuki Samurai would be a good car to trade the GT3 for. Then you could get the trailer too.
