My Perfect tow rig

[MILLION-MILES]

It would be the cummins motor with the allison trans and dana 60 rear end.

In a Dodge or Ford or Chevy doesn't make a big diff to me.

But with the baddest engine with the baddest trans then your talking.

 

[witchdoctor]

when you break that dana 60 go ahead and swap it for a dana80.

Or an AAM 11.5

 

[loose cannon]

Buy a F650 or bigger and you can get that combo. _ the rear

My perfect tow rig would be a Lincoln Town Car with a Cummins 5.9, 6spd, and dana 80 rear.

A stock 60 rear would never hold up to diesel power.

Perfect tow rig? Think bigger. 12+ liter, auto-shift 10 speed trans, engine brake, air ride, wrapped in a nice comfy volvo interior. Oh wait, I just described a Class 6/8 truck..

Yea but for a class 8 nothing rides better than that Volvo. I drove a 770 and the room inside plus the ride and man could that thing turn good.

[Wreckingball]

You're right, I wasn't paying attention. That is indeed a 27 footer... a shortbus

How many people just went web shopping on a used city bus?

Hehe they're pricey new- I believe we pay $350k. We sold the last used one for like $7k after it got so rusty that the frame bent when it was put on the lift.
