Next truck was my present truck....'16 CrewCab Dually, 6.7, 3:73 and almost 5300 lbs of payload. It was a smart move planning ahead when I did that. I now have a triple axle, 5th Wheel Toy Hauler with a GVWR of 20,000 lbs. And you know what, I credit a bunch of folks on this very forum for being patient and helpful with me when trying to learn the ins and outs of what it takes to tow heavy and within all the capacity ratings of both the truck and trailer. Hats off to y'all.

To take this thread even farther off course, I had a 2010 Spyder RT. That thing was the scariest trike I have ever owned. My wife was miserable as the passenger. Handling was AWFUL... anti-sway bar was too skinny, shocks were junk, etc. I changed all that stuff and the handling became respectable unless you pushed it and then the lean was disconcerting. The missus demanded another Goldwing trike! (I am on my 3rd - a 2006 Roadsmith). I would love to try one of the 3 cylinder newer Spyders as I understand they have come a long way.
