I guess I will come out of my hiding place and introduce myself. I have been lurking for a few months now after doing some research on what vehicle would be best to pull a big 5'er that DW and I have looked at for a few months. Currently we have just a TT and 1/2 Ford F150, but want to upgrade to a bigger 5'er. What we couldn't believe is that a F350 - F550 would be so expensive, and still not be able to safely pull the heavy 5'er that we really like. We discovered the idea of using a HDT would be ideal so we started lurking here and seriously looking at the idea of a HDT.
Having a 7 & 2 y/o at home and still a few years before I will retire from the Army and begin a second career we have skirted around the idea of fulltiming between the Army and whatever job I take afterwards so the idea of having a HDT to do the job and realizing that they can the job much safer (and cheaper) has become extremely attractive. DW has agreed in principle to the idea - in a few years, hopefully after a second overseas tour to Europe.
