We have a Freightliner just like that one. Right under $100k...then my partner added $25k worth of audio/video and another $25k for tanks, wheels and the bed.... He pulls a 15,000 lb trailer all week then hooks up to his Featherlight AND his Alpha coach to go play in the desert. He is about 10 feet over legal so he made the trailer hitch between the doubles retractable. It sucks in almost touching each other while going down freeways. When he needs to turn in town he activates it out about 5 feet so they dont bang corners. Pretty smart for such a shmukkk!
One of my other partners just bought the GMC that looks just like that....POS! Been in the shop more than on the raod for three trannies already.

My buddy works for a trailer manufacturer and this was one of thier customer's delivery trucks. Pretty expensive for a delivery truck.

For a person that does lots of towing...heavy loads (large boats)..would the extra cost over that of a nice duramax/powerstroke/cummins be worth it??? Since these are designed to tow and would last forever...just a thought

Nashville: can you get any pics of your buddies rig loaded with both
trailers-??? I'd really like to see it myself, and forward them to my buddy
who tows a 28 5th wheel, with a 20 ski boat behind that..........

When we bought our freightlier they were in the $80's fully loaded. I know they have gone up alot in the last 2 years and I think they are now pushing the $100k mark. If you tow anything big this is definitelt the way to go. Look at the price of a fully loaded f-350, d-max, then add options. this isnt that big of a jump and tows our 15,000 lb trailer like its not even back there.

Yeah look into the Freightliner SportChassis - you can get a Cummins in it as an option. I believe the Cat 3126 is the std motor though. Either one is better than that International IMO.
