Congratulations, those are awesome. I'd be interested on your take on the 360 trailer backup cameras after you use it a bit. I'm still a mirror and wife directing me kinda guy.

Very nice. What was your previous truck, Ram?

Do you feel a substantial difference going to the 1K HP?

Cummins. Yes. 1000 ft lbs. torque. That’s a beast ! I’m a little bias towards the ram trucks . LOL

We had a 2009 Ram 3500 SRW that had been deleted and chipped! The DRW increases stability a great deal but the increase in torque is huge! Up hill take offs pulling 5er is amazing!!
