Towed for the first time with my dually today.

I was extremely pleased with the way it pulled a car and trailer, not that I expected any less but still tickled. You aren'[t gonna win a race out of the hole but it comes out pretty good, handled the highway at 75-80 no issue, you really could feel the load behind you and probably most impressive the braking is awesome with the hydra boost. Now that I know it is gonna do the job expected I can get serious about upgrades. Maybe a high torque stroker to get me movign and pick up the fuel mileage.

Best money ive ever spent on a truck was on my crew dually. It gets 9mpg if its running or not
and has pulled my travel trailer around the northwest and all the mountains without complaint.
