In Brazil you get the best of both. You get a Ford body with a Cummins engine new at the dealership. Years go I was talking to the dealer to have one shipped up here,

The freight would cost about the same as the truck or more.
Friend bought a 17 F250 super crew XLT 4x4 gas a couple months ago. It's a nice truck, not all leather , just cloth. I rode a bit in it and some things were nice like the full sunroof. But I like the Sears in my 16 Platinum better. Could just be a matter of getting used to the new shape of the 17 seats but that was one thing that I noticed right away.

Given where the wheels on the trailer are positioned relative to the John Deere, I think she is "sitting pretty", not "squatting".

Yep, a lot really. bet it a real mother to drive like that. You know that front end is floating all over the place. Not to mention blinding everyone on the road at night.

You would be very surprised. About $450 port to port. Getting it licensed and insured in the states is whole different ball game.

Pictures make it look worse than it was. Going to try to back on the shredder first next time. That's about 37-38k gross. Truck is rated to pull 32,500 trailer, 14k truck a 30k trailer

Exactly. Had plenty of pin weight for safety. Just the empty trailer with the compressor sits it downs but. The truck was just sitting on the overloads.
Truck handled and drove great. Probably the smoothest drive since I've had it. It's an F-450 so I don't know how much bigger people think I should go?? No middle fingers on the run home, just thumbs up
