After Driving the two back to back all I can say is what a diff. This cargo truck is like a race car after driving the wrecker. Now I know the wrecker is 15000 pounds heavier than the cargo.
The cargo is very nimble. Handles very well. And will leave the wrecker in the dust. This cargo pulls a hill great. I don't see a need to touch the IP for more power. But you know I will.
The wrecker is very top heavy and not very stable on the road around corners. I think the 1400-20's make it much worse than the dual wheels and 1100-20's. The wrecker works it's T--s off pulling a grade. Steep hills are real tuff on the truck.
Just for the fun of driving a 5 ton the cargo wins hands down. But the truck is all but useless.
The wrecker has many use's and the cool factor is far more than the cargo. I would have a hard time making a choice between the two.
The only way is to have both.![Very Happy :-D :-D](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
