Well this is all good, but the real deal on towing like this is just torque and drivetrain. I know the Cummins is an excellent engine, but do you really think a Ford PSD with 350 horsepower and 650 lb.ft. of torque, or a Chevy/GMC Allison/Duramax with 365 horses and 660 lb.ft. of torque couldn't do the job? C'mon.

Anyway, I'll take my licks and slink off somewhere and tend my wounds. I know the Cummins is the best thing out there since sliced bread.

Beautiful. I love it. What tires do you have on it to get the traction? Are they studded?
