Well I've ben searching for a tow rig for a while and ran across this one. 97 dodge 2500H/D V-10. Its got a nvg4500 5-speed tranny, tow package and HD everything. I would rather have the cummins turbo D, but the deal was too good on this one.

I taking it that you are towing a K5 with the Dodge. Not sure how knowledgible you are with towing, but you might have a problem with that Dodge being too short for the amount of weight that you are towing, b/c it will push you around. You might want to invest in a equalizer hitch to even out the weight to all 4 wheels. Towing is somewhat dangerous if you are not set up right.
Just wanted to throw that out there. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

I love a chevy as much as the next guy but big Dodges are definately a close second for me! Nice score!

I agree, Ive towed many heavy loads (18K livestock) with a gooseneck trailer in a regular cab pickup /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Was it a tag-along,goose-neck or 5th wheel? You can tow heavy with a 5th wheel hitch, but with a tag-along w/o the right hitch style, it can be dangerous.
