A neighbor a couple of miles on our county road who raises quarter horses has been towing his long fancy horse trailer with a late model tricked out Freightliner Custom Chassis Tow/Hauler medium duty truck. I noticed a while back is was for sale. Now he is towing his horse trailer with a Ram 3500 dually. Hmm, I wonder why... ?

More than likley its because its a Freightliner?

Good comment on the juice brakes, mwilson. I had a 2002 IH 4300 with their 4 channel ABS hydraulic brakes. Most complicated thing I've ever seen. Started to have caliper trouble with less than 5K miles on it. Good thing I had a good dealer and it was under warranty. I don't think I would want to own this brake system on my own with its "last chance" electric booster motor, and separate computer controlled ABS system. If I had to do it again (which I won't), you're better off getting an air brake endorsement and owning the real thing.
