    Pros: smoother ride. Looks cool.

    Cons: tight spots. Poor mpg’s because of the large gap

    Fine looking Truck, With your new truck look for a flatbed co that hauls alot of long steel and roof bars, you will be able to hang more off the front of trailer and be legal with out buying a lot of permits in some states but not SC where anything over 2 or 3 off the ft. You might have to buy one?

    Stolen from the Internet, but I’ve always liked long trucks with product hanging off the front of the trailer.
