no hijack.. it is all good talking about our trucks.. I think I hear ya pounding your chest..you should be. I know I am!
I am waiting too. In fact, today I ordered the Signature Series 30K gooseneck adapter for the truck. I have the 24K Reese retro head fifthwheel hitch so the gooseneck will pull my lowboy trailer. Both will fit into the pucks which are part of the under bed rail kit.
Here is a consideration that either most know and do not talk about or they don't know period.
I had to order the 2.5 inch drop hitch for my F-450 today from Bobby W. I didn't know that the 450 didn't come with the standard 2" tube receiver. This monster has a 13K rating so it makes sense to make it big.
Funny thing I read.....my lowboy GOOSENECK is rated at 13K! The super duper high rated 13K class V standard rear receiver must be some piece of equipment. I think I will choose the gooseneck for those ratings too ( as somebody else mentioned, I cannot take the credit for it. )
I too will post pictures when I get it and all the mods added.
I will say this. since Nav was not an option, I bought a system ..(the Eclipse with 36 months warranty) with a Nav, blue tooth ,DVD, Sat and rear view camera which will work while driving down the road. many voice activated features.
I do plan on pulling a low boy so I will be able to see what my load is doing when I want to.. no shut down when not in reverse.
just out of curiousity, what options did you get?
mine are the spray in bed, the 24K hitch, a tool box and 65 gallon fuel tank combo..which in Ca has to have a timer, mine is 15 minute 1.5 GPM shut down. On qtr. tank the light goes off, and I hit the button.. done.. feuling as we drive. so I don't forget, after 15 minutes.. done .. shut off. It is a law here but it works for me!
And I told you about entertainment provided by Eclipse.
