  • Well we did a thing! We sold the Peterbilt 379 and got a Ram 4500! The HDT life just wasn't for us at this time. We are planning on going back to our old set up but better!

    Yal should have kept the semi... air ride seats are the best

    I'm in the same situation as you guys. Kinda. I have a 3500 ram dually, hauling a 37 ft 5th wheel and I'm towing a 4 seater behind it. Also have a 2 seater Id like to take with me once in a while. Wife doesn't want a toy hauler....
    Saw your videos of the rack over the cab. But did the math and realized I'd be too close to my GVWR of the truck. So I'm going to have to get a 22-24 foot flat bed trailer to tow both.
    Might have to look into a 4500 truck. Keep the video's coming!

      @@FindingLifesAdventure you sound like me! I've gone back and forth on the hdt route. Problem is I like getting away from people and want the 4wd as it's cheaper then an offroad recovery bill. And trucks paid for... but some more power be nice
      One thing I noticed is you seemed to get a lot of forward and backward slap out of those seats? I got that in a sport chassis I drove and it wrecked my lower back after 40 miles

      @@pilot41186 yes 4wd is an absolute must for what we do! Yeah those seats didn’t have the greatest air bases on them. I much prefer the legacy HD base. But after I fiddled with them off camera they were much better

    Just watched the pro s and con s vid between the Ram & Peterbuilt, one thing i can fault you on is the differance of ages of both trucks that is a very old Semi firstly its a manual box plus double drive without cross/locks its so out of date folks I doubt it even has airbags on that age of truck which will equal a very hard ride. In the future try a much newer Volvo or Cascade with auto box and air ride it will be chalk & cheese you will find the Ram the hard rider and overstretched gearbox & engine against a newish Semi . try selling all those none needed toys and invest in a proper Semi or your bank account will not stay healthy pulling all that junk around in the long term. Not sure if buying the Ram in the USA like you did is the norm metting the seller in a car park , but in the UK that would be classed as real sketchy big time. Hope in the future the swear-box is used its does not add to your story...
