here is our rig, in stock form any truck will struggle some on the hills when you are pulling this with a 3000 rail loaded. We added exhuast, edge chip, pump, air system, DTT puller trans complete. Now it pulls like a monster, as I said in another post to go back and do it over, would not even bother with a pick up. Tractor is the way to pull and stop these big rigs. In a few years plan on a 53 foot low boy/ hauler with living quarters, power gate. First choice is a peter built then kenworth, maybe a volo with a cat engine but not the volo engine. Good luck with your choice.

Very nice pete you have!!! Big fan of them they ride soooo smooth. Brakes on the trailer with that ha ha funny with a 6 cylinder jake brake too funny, that Cat motor should have same jake hp as flywheel. Cummins 600 are 600/600 unless you have 40-60 thousand pounds you need to back the jake down to 4 cylinders.
