Your biggest advantage is our medium duty is a smaller version of our Class 8 truck, big tractors and heavy chassis.
You are getting a truck that will last, keep service and parts cost down, and hold re-sale value.
My competion is a 1-ton dually that is beefed up to make it like a truck.
I don't know if you remember Julie Sullivan (KE deal). She had purchased the 47 OL with the 3 rudders. The original owner of the OL had us build a custom conversion Pete which turned out mint.
Even if you are not ready to purchase now, maybe someone else here is looking for an exceptional tow rig.
Here are some brief links to get an idea. We can build as fancy as you desire, inside and out.

Glad to see that you can laugh about it. I have done similar things at the ramp as well. I almost put my entire truck in last december when the ramp was covered in ice.
I have the worst luck sometimes. I swear it could be raining p()ssy and I would get hit in the head with a d!ck!

Please warn us.... er, I mean, let us know when you will be launching for the Miami run so we can be there to "admire" your boat.... and get EVERYTHING ELSE off the docks and out of the parking lot!
Thanks for the humor, whereas most guys I know would be cussing up a storm (which I'm sure you also must have done! haha); and again, sorry for your misfortune.

What caused it to happen we have a 2007 I am afraid the we are going to dump are truck trying to go down a long ramp and running out of air on brakes or setting the park brake and it letting go ?

Re: Boat launching 101! don'ts of boat launching!
I suspect it was a slimy ramp and it just slid (wheels locked up)- will let Lubes confirm
That said- does the parking brake actuate all corners or just ther rear axle??
