Reliability takes a second seat to whether a given truck can safely pull the load as well as payload. For example, the 382RK is over 19,000 lbs fully loaded and I'd want to have at least a few thousand above that for a safety margin. I don't want a dually so it seems to limit me to a F350 SRW, although I need to research the other manufacturers further, the marketing info for all of them can be contradictory. The problem with the F350 though is all of the dealers in my area don't have any 2023 allotments left and that was back in early Dec 2022 or so.
thanks.. well yes.. reliability and the attribution of within capacity limits are separate 'aspects'.
For a larger hauler 42-13, our intent, .. yes its what DRW .. sounds like the Ford 350 DRW or the 450 (thirstier) are both more pricey than a Dodge RAM 3500 DRW 5.9 or 6.7 to work on.. as the diesel v8.. injectors etc are more buried on the V8 than the 6 of the dodge
I'll try to get my old 5.9 2007 6-speed XLT dodge ram 3500 DRW 4x4 flatbed back from the chap I sold it too a year ago.. before we decided to go 5th wheel.
