I would entertain selling ours. I really like the toolbox storage and we built a custom rack that drops into the 5th wheel that allows you to carry a pair of engines or whatever. Another thing that’s really convenient about air brake trucks is you can run any air tools off from the air tank. We carry a hose and a bunch of air tools in the storage compartment.

Cat C7, I think it depends on the weight. When I pulled my 50 Nortech with triple diesels, which was probably 20K lbs. full of fuel, yeah it would bog down a little on steep climbs, but when I pull my 44 Outerlimits it doesn't seem to be affected much.

Thats why we went sportchassis. It would drop 2 gears and just spin 2500 all the way up the mountain. I think it was 320ish HP and 950ft/lbs with a 6 speed allison. Definitely not a fan of the Mercedes power stuff either. If you can find a 650 with the ISC cummins or a variant of it depending on year, that would be my pick. C7 cats are ok, but not my first pick.
