Nice ride. I got an 09 in August and love it. Did you get the brake controller?

Yup i got the break controller.
It works pretty good i'm impressed and the best thing is it's not down below where i can whack my legs on it.
Ah long box reg cab. hmmm you would think you would want a heavier truck than that to pull that much weight the long bax reg cab i would think would be lighter than even a short box super crew. I guess it comes down to wheel base.
I did notice that the 6.5 foot box on my truck has a lower towing cap than the 5.5 box. i thought that was odd.

It all comes down to weight. Your truck is probably 1,000# heavier than a 2 wheel drive long box reg cab. All the goodies you have like 4x4, 2 extra doors, ect weigh more.
The HD tow package they have available in the basic truck gives you heavier axles with 7 lugs, heavier suspension, ect. Its really about the same truck as a 3/4 ton gasser of 10 years ago. GM also makes about the same thing.
