thats where i keep it mostly
Was thinking on that hp curve earlier/ when I went on some side roads and came back up on ramps i got into it hard as i could.
Bessie Mae would drag this unit: backwards uphill loaded and wound up tight. Not even a contest.
I won’t hold my breath but I will hope it opens up after a break in period.

It is: however it gets the truck deck 6” closer to the frame
I take my straps off all my winches anyway; so while ratchets take time, it aint all that much longer i wouldnt think than running winches. Winches definitely get tighter though, which is why i had more 2” straps on thereexhausted379, cke, Oxbow and 9 others Thank this. -
In my last truck, I could hit the manual lock button and could run that at 1300 at 60 mph. Big difference IMHO. That truck definitely liked that better.
In the current ride that won’t work, because hitting the button in 11th gear causes your top speed to be limited to 54.
Just asinine. -
I didn’t think about getting the bed 6” closer.

I can’t speak about the new X15. But the old isx and this DD platform both have to be wound up pretty tight to really get any work done. Like really tightexhausted379, cke, Oxbow and 8 others Thank this.

The flat bed is mine. I pull it and the RGN as much as possible. The reefer…I pull it whenever my friend yells loudly enough to get my attention.Last edited: Jan 9, 2025
