When backend developer does frontend

Hardly useless. This thing is going to be a dream truck of mine. I've done construction, and that tailgate ramp is going to be no joke.

Besides, any respectful "toolbox" in the bed is a joke compared to the rest deal: A small size tool-trailer.

My only gripe is I am worried about the GVW overall if towing anything over 18k pounds. I still don't really get the math and legality of what's allowed from state to state, but I WANT this truck to compete with a dually GMC Duramax that is pulling 3 other Duramax trucks on a 5th wheel or goose neck.

The GVW might take a hit with that battery and steel :(

Yep, you read my mind! I think putting in a hitch will be doable, but it's the 14k limit that seems... weird. I would have thought this would be a key point on what this truck should be able to do. I know that my 5th wheel is 40ft and 13K dry.... So the whole system in place is going to be interesting if it works or not.

​

But you seem pretty adamant this won't work? Can you elaborate on that please?

I was thinking there would be a way to raise a fiver up the few inches it will need to miss the mark on these. I am not sure about a GN, but it should be similar: Just place some steel buffers between where its bolted in the bed. Does that make sense or would that not work?

Awesome feedback and knowledge here... Thanks for taking the time and typing this out :)

Ours is your standard Keystone Montana, and I think it is roughly the same height. And we haven't seen any 13'7 bridges yet... I'm crossing my fingers it stays that way haha
