Gorgeous car .

As for the truck, stick with what you have altho for pulling what you have in mind I would prefer a dually. For WAY less than the price of a new truck you can go thru the one you have and add an air ride rear suspension. That will take the John Deere right out of it.

With the exception of MAYBE a 3408 Caterpillar, nobody has ever built a V8 diesel that will go the distance so your only option is Cummins and everything built after Oct '03 is junk no matter who builds it. JMHO.

As long as you never let Rhino near your truck there are a few hundred thousand miles of faithful service left in it.
