Tow Truck 1/2 Ton?

[John Lang]

Thanks to all, any more added stories are welcome ! My current tow trk is a 3500 Dodge w/cummings, w/328,500 mi and it still runs great , it just is starting to rust, and rattle, and ride like crap as it's a 96 model, w/5speed, and mostly starting to look like crap ! I don't want anymore Diesels, it was great when I was in business, now I'm retired, and also an old FART ! I,m now between a 013 Dodge 1500 w/5.7 Hemi ,and a 013 Ford with /ecoBoost ! As I said earlier, I'm only going to race mabe 5 or 6 times, the rest of the time, (Winter) my daily driver !,,,,,,Thanks again......John

I tow my 24 Enclosed trailer with a 2012 Dodge 2 Dr Express and make lots of trips with it. I have been very satisfied and use it a lot. The only unusual thing is I had my boy build it with Triple 5200 Axles. Probably overkill but I REALLY like how it tows compared to tandem and initial price was only about $400. more than tandem I had last year (About $7,500 out west and probably cheaper most places back east). We get a LOT of wind out here and I can sure tell the difference ( I always get an extra foot height which does not help )!

No Air Bags or Equalizer Hitch seem to be needed....About 8500LB. Loaded.
