LOLS! Bought the truck new in 07 and have been doing mods on it ever since, been getting it set up for towing! When I hook something to the back of it and pull, it's almost like there ain't nothing even back there! 3/4 ton quad cab! Could prolly pull 4 or 5 Camaro's at one time with no problem!! Lols!!
