I'll search a bit more. I would like to retain the pintle.

I'd like to pull a trailer with a 2-5/15 ball and curious if and how anybody has installed a receiver on a 5t. I would like a 2-1/2" shank and 20,000lb capacity. If you have a receiver, please post pictures.

I go down all the time to ride bikes and have never had any issues but I feel like a 5t would be asking for problems.

I told him I couldn't swing it and thought no way I need the headache.

I have a buddy with a dead F350 in San Felipe and asked for help towing it back to Cali. I'm not worried about it breaking down, but I can imagine how much the federalis would hassle you. Has anybody ever ventured south across the boarder?

It's a 932 but the guy I bought it from put a 10' bed on the back which is the combo I've been wanting to build. I guess it's kind of a hybrid.

I went with the 932 for the shorter wheelbase but I heard that one of the drawbacks with no weigh on the back is a rougher ride. Is it a big difference compared to a cargo truck?

Thanks for the link. That looks like it should work great. I'll call tomorrow.

I tow a 16k toy hauler now with my 2500hd and electric brakes. The plan is to use my new 932 for this. I'm sure it would be fine wo brakes but I'd like to use them since I have them. I don't think I'll need to use the load distribution hitch with the 5t though;)

Thanks for the replies guys. I ended up buying the truck I was looking at so, I excited to get going with it. I did a bit of research and was told of a 24v to 12v trailer converter with integrated brake controller. Has anybody used this?

I plan to tow a trailer with 12v electric brakes when I buy my 5ton. Has anybody installed an electric brake controller in a 5ton?

So I've seen a few threads about installing 18k electric winches on the rear of 939s and it got me thinking. Could you install a 20k hydraulic winch on the rear to match the front winch? To me, it seems like you could tee the lines that feed the front winch and run them to the back. As long...

That's great news. I'd love to meet up and check it out when your in the area. I'll send you a PM tonight. Thanks!

What will the 1600s do to cruise speed?

Anybody know how much tighter will a 931 turn than a 923? I know the 931 is 12" shorter, but is it that noticeable?

Ib, Did you make it to the dmv? I'm ready to pull the trigger on a 931 or 932 but I've been getting conflicting info on registering in Kali. I'd love to hear good news about registering historic. Am I correct in thinking that you don't need a cdl if its historic? Good luck with it.

Thanks Wrecker. I will look into it. I thought that if its registered as a historical vehicle it would be smog exempt. Probably wrong though be cause Kali is so jacked!

So I've been researching MVs for a few years and really want a 5t A2. I've narrowed it down to a 925 or 932. He are my plans for using it, and where I need help. Right now, I pull a 34' bumper pull toy hauler to the desert 5-6 times a year with maybe 2 trips out of state. The trailer weighs...

I had the same dream yesterday when I saw it;). I was quickly snapped back to reality with the wide load and speed issues too. Oh well, just have to keep dreaming!

Thanks. I wasn't trying to cause any issues. It's just that I've never really seen one, and it caught me attention.
