I recommend you watch some youtbe vids on pulling, somewhat modded PSD make respectable runs at times but those have LOTS of mods, a bone stock PSD will not put on a good show.

I have a BTS trans and im still hesitant on hooking up to a sled because I know what im up against and its hard if not almost impossible to compete with the other trucks in my class

On the other hand i tow 30,000lbs Gross Truck/Trailer weight on a weekly basis and i NEVER hesitate to tow, but i think twice about pulling a sled
only 10,000 over the gvcw.gota cdl and lawer?
