Is this enough truck?
So I’m here in Ormond Beach and I meet a fellow who has this really neat rig. It’s an International 9900 chassis and he fabricated the ramps for the jeep. The hitch sits towards the rear of the truck. They had come down from Missouri. Something like this will be my next tow rig as I love the idea of being able to take my Jeep along. 
Sorry for the shadows. It’s than darn sunrise here on the beach. Camping at the beach is tough.

It appears it doesn't have drive to all axles, so no, it ain't enough truck.

I like it. Great setup. Although you probably will find someone who says that it is not a big enough truck for the trailer.

I see semis pulling 5th wheel RV's time to time. A friend of mine pulls his 5th wheel toy hauler with one of his semis.

Nice! I saw a Volvo setup like that a few weeks ago. Major difference was the ramp, it went up higher, so the black jeep bumper was sticking up above the sleeper cab.

My son in-law pulled his 5er with his Kenworth, he said the fuel economy was better that with his GMC one ton dually. I think it is because the Kenworth doesn't has to work.

Just because it can haul it doesn't mean it is safe and comfortable. Need to get the scale numbers and yellow sticker number? Its that on LT tires and what PSI is he running? Can it stop on a dime in case a turtle dart out in front? What about cross wind with that high profile?
