How much is "not very expensive"? I might be able to convince DW we need another "upgrade"

Great idea! Pull a 5'r and carry the small car that would normally be a toad.

Vovlos are the most common conversion. Most people buy the truck used and convert to a single axle. I looked a few years back out of curiosity. If I recall correctly the prices was comparable to a loaded F450.


Front axle weight was a concern, if a smart car was being loaded on it.
