    Hello Everyone,
    Thanks for shearing your experience with us.

    I have a 2007 dodge 3500, but its a rear wheel drive. I will drive inside florida state and I am not going to drive out of the state. I do have some equations for the hauling service since I have zero experience with this kind of business. my equations for now are:

    1- Mine is 2007 dodge 3500 and its a rear wheel drive, do you think guys can do the job. if yes, what is the maximum nuber of cars can this truck tow?

    2- if the anser is NO, I am thinking to buy a Ford truck to tow a 5 cars hauler, So, What model of Ford can do the job like, f450, f550 or f650.


    Your answer is appreciated in advance.

    Doesn't matter what equipment you have, you will go broke down in Florida. Maybe could make it work if you lived in the truck? Lol

    I spend my winter in Florida with my car hauler.
    I was there last winter from Jan 3 - mar 18 the hauler left its parking spot only twice last winter.
    Its actually cheaper to let it sit then it is to run instate in fl.

    Nobody wants to pay the transport fees. That's the issue.

    2-3 car wedge should do fine for you. It will haul that. You definitely havethe right engine for the job, and RWD only wont make any difference here. Carry on.

    You should check out all the yellow iron auctions that take place in Kissimmee around Feb-March each year. Richie Brothers, Yoder & Frey, Kissimmee Auction Co., etc all put on big sales.

    Yup you're good. Pair it with a Kaufman 5 car trailer. You'll make a killing and be home every night, don't let these experienced people tell you otherwise.

    That's what you wanted to hear right?
