Finally got the right TV!

After pulling the 377RLBH for 2 years with a 3500HD, LB, CC, Duramax, SRW this year's pull to Port Charlotte, FL will be with a 3500HD Duramax DRW.

While the SRW pulled effortlessly, I always had the nagging feeling that I was pushing the limits with the truck. Now my only concern will be getting enough miles on the truck to ensure the rear end and differential gears are properly wore in before towing. Wife has been using it as her daily driver, since she can get the 500 miles in faster than me (she's retired). We live in farm country, so lots of different grades and speed areas as opposed to my driving down the highway to work.
No real issues, just bragging I guess

Sweet. Congratulations. I was lol about rushing to get 500 before leaving on a trip. I had the exact same situation. "I'll drive!"

I absolutely loved my 2004 2500 Duramax....it could pull the house off its foundation!

My only gripe was the rising cost of Diesel fuel.

I was the same way with the truck I had. It was a 2019 F350 SB SRW. When we bought our 36FBTS Pinnacle it had no problem from a power perspective, the truck just seemed a bit mushy, especially on our wonderful roads. After we got the 2021 F350 DRW it was a world of difference. Your TV looks great and I know you will feel a lot more confident as you travel the roads. Enjoy!!!!!!

Congratulation on the new truck! I like how you bought it to match the color of NY snow!
