Finally got a hitch installed on my new(to me) tow rig. I took the trailer to the elevator to get weight, 440lbs, sheesh.

tow rig


1997 F350 Crew Cab. Runs 7.3 powerstroke turbo. Full power (windows, seats, etc.). A/C even works.

Dual tanks, stock motor and non chipped so far.

CB, full emergency lights, 12.5 k winch

I used a trailer for years. Since making the switch to this set up, I had a face/palm moment and me and my buddy agree "never going back to trailer".

I plan on upgrading several things:
Has two air bag helper for a total of additional 10k capacity, Compressor is slow (upgrade)
King Ranch interior in the spring (drove 8 hours one-way to pick up a suburban, my a$$ was not comfortable in the cloth, un heated, and failing lumbar support seats.

Additionally, would like to chip it, air intake, and run stacks.

Thank you. In all honesty, that what I initially thought too (plates, insurance, etc.). But It makes for a great back up vehicle if my DD dies, parts are plentiful, and in all honesty, you simply dont have to worry.
Additionally, I have driven it this winter off an on to give my DD a break, and found that when it snows, there are many people who need towed. To date since december, $500. That covers my insurance. Lol.
