Matt,
I received a magazine in the mail today that has an article you may want to read.
There is a good write-up in the Highways (Good Sams) April-May 2012 issue starting on page 30 by the RV Doctor. "Matching the Perfect RV to the Perfect Tow Vehicle"
Send a private email if you can't find it.

Go drive one of the new ones if you dare....night and day difference from anything previously...Coming from an 2004 6.0, and a 2009 6.4, it is amazing the difference....might be a bit of a strain with 141K on the clock.....

Thanks to all of you for your information, responses and education.
 
Looks like I am stuck in the water for now, the wife has put the Kabosh on our purchase for now.Cry
Not happy with her at all or the situation,Disapprove it is strictly financial with her. We do have the money right now, but she is worried that one or both of our primary vehicles will drop dead then what will we do to get to work, that's her arguement.... Trust me this is not over...Angry
 
I have couple upgrades that I wanted to do with the truck so I guess these will get done before we/I buy instead of as they seem like a good upgrade. Front and rear air bags will be going in, trailer brake controller will be put in, filtration unit for the tranny and 6.0 tranny cooler will go in, new shocks all the way around, install my new wicked wheel in the turbo, I also need to upgrade my exhaust and decide what guages I want and install them and also start searching craigs list for a nice 5th hitch since when I purchase I will have the airride pin box installed prior to delivery.Thumbs Up
 
Anyone know if there are any Elevation units in central or northern California? Website does not have Elevations listed as a search option for dealerships. So far the closest one I have found on the web is one in Colorado.
 
Thanks again, I will be around lurking mostly for a while.Hug
 
Thanks,
Matt

Hi all, I'm new to the site. We just upgraded from a tent trailer to a slingshot 32QB, take delivery next week. 
Anyway, did a lot of reading on towing capacities and found following website very helpful.
