Just for fun and to hear people's opinions. Let's say you could buy any truck you wanted up to like 160k. This truck needs to be a good truck for pulling tanks, like 44,500 or 45k pound loads. What truck would you buy? Wheelbase? Etc... Etc... I don't know a lot about trucks yet guys so I really would love to hear ideas you experienced drivers have. Ya know what works the best and what doesn't. Things I hope to learn by listening to what you have to say every time I read post ya do.
Which truck would you get for pulling tanks?

One that doesn't make you think you have the right to punch people because your feelings got a boo-boo.
I hope that's more helpful than a list of specs.
What?Bean Jr. Thanks this. -
Ok, I'll bite. It'd be a Western Star 4900ex daycab. 550 Cat, 13 speed, 3.70 rears. 24.5 low pro wheels, 230" wheelbase.
Actually, that's real close to what I have already.19d Thanks this. -

I definitely wouldn't want a truck that made me angry or wanna fight.. I would stay away from these type of trucks guys

Hi 19d, sounds like a backfire from the last post, uhp, uhp, don't try and remember, or we'll get this thread axed too. Remember, no politics or racial stuff, other than that, the mods seem pretty tolerant. Hope you took some time off, fishing with no bait, that kind of thing, please, does wonders for the attitude. And perhaps I'm being partial, but if you are going to spend a fortune, buy a Kwhopper or Pete. All trucks pretty much do the same thing today, and resale is the key. If you do want a truck that makes you want to punch someone, get a 2 cycle Detroit.
KillingTime and Shock Therapy Thank this. -

Maybe what truck is your favorite is better
