I have the factory installed hitch option. 24k fifth wheel and the gooseneck ball. If your truck came with the rails, it's the way to go. Otherwise I prefer the B&W setup.
I guess I Lied ? Maybe ?

Thanks

Stock? Pfft!
Joe,
I would look at an airbag set up as well. These new trucks squat easier than the old ones. You will want something to get the headlights back on the road.

Congratulations, Big Joe. I was examining options a couple of months back when the Beast's EGR cooler bit the big one, I must admit I looked long and hard at a new truck, but I couldn't justify an $800 a month truck payment. That, and I couldn't really part with the Beast. With new head studs, injectors, gaskets, EGR cooler and oil cooler, I get most of the benefits of a new truck.
Enjoy that new truck. Post a picture when you can.

Sounds like your getting a real nice new truck. You were saying it was $61 and some change out the door,
you guys in CA don't have to pay retail for a new truck do you? If it retailed for that much around here I
would be looking at about $52 or $53 out the door. The dealer should drop $10.000 off just to get you in the door.

I understand what your saying, things are going up every day, talking to a friend today at the truck stop and he said he had been paying $17.50 a case for lettuce and went to buy 20 cases this week and it was $34.50 a case. Life kinda sucks for us poor ole retired guys. All states get you one way or the other.
