Cool New towing combo

Sold the 2008 Duramax for $43.5K, picked up this setup for much less combined. Paid $19K for the truck (2006 w/ 65K miles) and $10K for the trailer (32 ft Haulmark, 2005, fully finished including A/C inside). $29K total, not bad.

Damn that truck looks good. I dont even wont to know what they would give me for mine if you picked that one up for 19K. Mine is a 06 2500 with 96k miles.

Yeah, I scored on the truck for sure. It was babied, didn't even have swirl marks on it or a gooseneck. Interior is perfect too. I shopped for about 3 months and found it on ebay, from a dealership in Arlington. Comparable trucks were in the $22-23K range. I've already installed a catback, tuner, and intake on it

On the highway, you can't feel the trailer back there. From a stop, definitely.

Saw this setup in person today...just as nice as in the pics. That AC will come in handy down here. Hang up a plastic curtain between the car and the work area, set yourself up a cot and take a nap between races...or during rain delays. Haha!

Is that stock height? Looks like a lowered dually to me.

Pretty nice truck. My granddad has had an 94 and currently has an 02 and says he will never buy anything but a Dodge diesel again.

Really like the all white front. Different but good looking.

Nice truck but why go with a dually? I mean I could see it if you had a 5th wheel trailer but not for that.

Might be 2WD. The 2WD dodges are lower than 4WD, but I agree it still looks like it is lowered a bit. The trailer might be a little bit of it.
