BTW, what's a short box? Do you mean short bed? I can pull my boat with my 2500 burban but not up hill and stopping is fun.

I think it is lighter because its on a 10000lbs (approx) lift and if you hit the side with your fist it wobbles just6 a hair and desnt have the thick sound like the other apaches we work on do.

How big are the tanks? We picked it up by water and about 50mph we hit some 6ft rollers and they were jothing for that boat.
