    I like both but hardwired is a tad easier.
    Plush.
    Better.

    Preferably, Star but I don't mind ICU3.

    Low-boys is one if them.
    If I were to get a pusher I'd get at least 20k+. Btw, what's your stance on pushers...steer or standard pushers?
    Not sure about the tire sizes yet.
    As for axle ratios, at least 4.10+

    Sounds like a plan. Spend a quarter mil, buy a truck and show up on ATS's doorstep. Be sure to get a tri drive and you can get under their two lane 19 axle. Rock and roll!

    Too funny.

    Younger maybe. How old were you when you believed that you could show up at NASA, walk in off the street and be an astronaut?

    You don't even need a drop axle depending on your trailer setup. It's just great as an option.

    If you're wanting a 20k pusher..I'd then go with a tri-drive instead--and especially so if you'll consider going off road. I think it's more common for the 12.5k steerable and nice having just a little bit more which is why I suggested it. Starting with baby-steps is a good idea. I'd start with what you can afford and easily find, then work your way up.

    Just go all out and get one of these. No need for a trailer, just put the load right up on the truck.
