If your looking to haul trailers around (civilian) your going to want to stick to the 11/20's, the fifth wheel plate is up pretty high on these trucks compared to over the road semi's.

Larger tires are going to KILL your power in a multifuel.

A winch setup is going to run you $1000-$1500 for parts only.

Depending on what you are paying for it, you may want to get a 818 w/w.

being incolve on diesel trucks my whole life and work on may cummins and also have a dodge with a 12 valve 6bt, i know the M818 with the NA 250 HP cummings is probably a better choice but after driving a M52A2 for the last few weeks here in south florida that belongs to a collector and moving stuff around the yard its got just what i need, not looking for high road speeds and maybe will not pull anything around but sue will enjoy driving it aroud the city MIAMI hehe amd the engine is buils under the M.A.N engine lisences has to be good plus i will tweek with it :-D

Sure can't argue with these Ideas !!! All the best, I feel the same way,For me i have been drooling over the 818's and am now more likely , If I was to find one like that , to go for the multi, actually I love the multi's too ...:driver:
