I am a weekend warrior that tows 42 foot 16-17k toy hauler with 3. 73 gears and the 68RFE. I live in Colorado where we have some real passes, steep hills and wind. The truck is not unpowered it pulls great, the 68RFE always puts the truck in the correct gear based on the load. 4. 10 gears would...

I also had a Lance camper with horizontal propane tanks. When I went to get them refilled the kid filling tanks had to call his manager. The manager knew about the exemption told the kid to refilled them, and never was a problem after that.

I have a jayco fifth wheel TH, one of the bigger ones with a 12 foot garage. I can only shoe horn in 3 quads. You might have to find one with the open floorplan to haul 4. The big things I looked for was dexter axles and 16 inch tires and build quality. I wouldn't buy another jayco, my 2 cents

My first was some where around 4000-4500 second about the same and just this week the third almost 5k this time.

Thanks, I was wanting to avoid the dealer. The other time it makes the same noise is when I tow my fifth wheel and slam on the brakes and all the weight transfer makes the front end compress.

It is not something like that. It sounds like a buzzer, I can make it happen. Today I was driving thru a series of dips as I speed up it made the noise at every dip?

I have been driving a new route and the road has several big rolling bumps, the kind that makes the front suspension unload and then slam back down. When the front slams down there is a buzzing noise coming from the dash or left side of the steering column. It lasts for just a second, any thoughts ?

Call Dave Smith, I got an email quote from them when I was shopping. The local dealer matched that price, which was almost $10k off sticker price.

I happy to get 13-14 unloaded, and towing my heavy TH 8-9 mpg. Granted I have only 4500 miles on it. The 6. 7 with the auto doesn't pull as hard until it has shifted into 4th. Your sig truck is alot like my old truck, it is night and day between the two.

I will agree that there is a strong market for this truck, and I would be that group. I just think the corperate boys won't see it the same way. They will let another great idea fall to the way side.

I love it. Probley never going into production, but a great concept.

I changed my oil for the first time this weekend at 4100 miles. I would say that the oil has a lot more soot and small "grit" than my old 01 did. I noticed in cleaning the drain pan and funel more particles than the other pickup.

I found a TH this weekend unloaded the weight is 13K. I figure that without water, and with cargo I will be adding maybe 3K that includes the toys. That would put me at about 16K. Talking with alot of guys, they get water close to where they camp. It holds 148 gallons times 8. 3lbs is 1228lbs. I...

Thanks for the replies. I am still doing research on which/what TH to buy. I have read maybe too much, and wanted to hear from guys with real world experience. I just felt that 18k was to much weight for comfort. I don't want weekend trips to be white knuckle drives to and from. I do live in...

I have been reading some threads about GCWR and had a few questions. I have the truck in my sig with 3. 73 gears, according to the door tag GAWR front : 5500 GAWR Rear: 9350. The total would be 14850 minus the curb weight of the truck plus the pin weight of trailer. Say the truck is 8000...
