Do you have a special lic to tow that? Cool set up!
It depends on the state... You wouldn't need one in Missouri if you weren't commercial. Just need to be under the total length limit.

Commercial Class A with a double & triple endorsement !!


Awesome. When I was younger and would go with my buddy's family to the river, his dad would pull his sea-doo trailer behind his boat trailer from storage in BHC to Katherines. People always gave us a funny ass look in the marina as we drove by.:D

I've heard that also, but I think that law was written before cell phones. Now everyone has a cell phone.

What trans is in it? That's the big thing.

I have to chekc to be sure but I was told it was an Allison 3060 and not to worry about geting too much power out of a 5.9. (don't wanna loose the 10-12 mpg though)

Thanks Keith. Are there any places to shop for a discount or am I pretty much stuck with the $500.00 retail price?

On the adapter, no. On the box, yes. Do a search for an Edge EZ for a 98.5 Dodge Ram pickup with the Cummins. You could also call my buddy Cord and see what kind of deal he could get you. 775-209-3804. Just tell him you are a friend of mine from boating.
