hey Bomann,
Did the Hypertech do anything for gas mileage? I heard yes and nos and was wondering your results.

Thanks

I tow my 29 with a 2008 Dodge Durango. I have the Hemi, Tow Package and the higher gear ratio which puts my towing capacity at around 9,000 lbs. Truck tows fine, the load is just a little much for stock suspension....it bucks a little when I hit a bump in the highway. My next upgrade will be a better set of shocks/springs which should help with that.

I pull my 38 Lightning with a 2008 Ford F-450.It does the job very well.

I LOVE those trucks! If I didn't have to use mine for dual purpose (daily driver / tow vehicle) I would already have one.

3008 f650 six door w/ 300 hp CAT, 38ft Fountain TE w/ trip 300's. Truck tows it pretty well. :D

I think you may need a bigger truck to tow your 38. Those 650's are just badass. The real test is how would it tow my 29.

Hi James,
I will be up at Havasu on the Labor day week end, also going to try to get the boat up there a week or two before, but don't have an exact date yet. Waiting for Lisa to get her foot out of a cast.
