Does it seem like enough power with a heavy load?

I'm gonna guess his rig weighs about 11,000lbs. That's nothing for even a stock Cat C7 motor.

But I am courious what you thought about the Top Kick ride. Have been looking at a couple. And the one you used, did it have air ride?

Quinlan. the topkick I had was 4x4 monroe pickup and springed rears. road like crap. got rid of it with 16k on it and got it new with 54miles on it. fuel mileage was around 10-12 loaded or empty but this was 4x4. The aircab, air susp ride nicely but is the only way I would go back to a 4500 series

Same as JPD said above. Very rough ride . F650 is a much smoother ride.
