It looks that way. I contacted them and waiting for a reply on price and wanted to know if it changed max tow rating any. Will post the response.

Have you made any decision yet now that you have had plenty of feedback and comments about your original question (What truck should I get for a Copper Canyon?) at the beginning of this thread?

Well we have been shopping and the wife wants to go with a F250 Diesel because its what is in the budget (Dang budgets )but I am trying to work on a deal for a F350 Diesel . I also think reality is setting in on how big this 5er is ! I took her out and measured out how big it is in the drive. Our three car drive will get small fast! Going from a tent to this will be nice ......

That is a big unit, 38'-6" is the book length or measured, my Copper Canyon is listed at 31', measures 33'-6", tows at 11,000#. You either need a one ton SRW, you will be pushing it with a F250.

We have a 2012 Copper Canyon 314FWRLS and It tows fine with my 2004 GMC Duramax 2500HD 4x4 SRW. Went to Pismo Beach 5 hours one way and back just recently and towed great. Mine measures 36 feet 6 inches from rear bumper to front cap.
