It is funny, although I've never used it, I don't think I'd want a 2WD truck on a ramp.....
Ya the only thing holding me from buying it. Is that i feel like I'll just burn rubber at the ramps lol. But I think towing on the highway must be a breeze for the Freightliner. I really like that it has cummins and allison transition. The truck was originally an ambulance. But got converted

Look into this set up:

If I ever end up with a medium, and use it for towing boats, I would likely have a system like this installed.

All those trucks and the bookends are the only two worth more than crap.

I had a "poor-mans" FL-50 to tow my TopGun. 2-wheel drive and NEVER had an issue on a ramp. Ever. Ran back and forth to Florida from Maryland more than a dozen times and never noticed or got "tired" from road noise. Most of them have stereos in them!! If you look at the photo of the one in the water at Haulover... Notice that it looks like there is an aluminum flatbed on it. Is that to save weight? As far as driveability. My Freightliner was easier to park or go thru tight spots than a 2500 Chevy crew cab. the turning radius is much smaller due to the frame rails being narrower. My Wife would drive it to run errands around town... She loved it!!
