I think it should as long as you have the front end locked in! I'll see if I can make you jealous of mine....I just bought this yesterday. Overkill for the boat, but I see a camper in our future....and I had nothing decent to pull one with. No one seemed to know how to mount a 5th wheel plate on my Traverse. :p

That's an lbz. 120k miles. I fought with the stealership pretty good to get it. I've heard too many bad stories about the later ones and the emissions stuff. Made me decide on the lbz. I've seen where they've gone 750k with no probs. I love it already.

I have a bookmark page on my computer of a trailer company that used a lbz dually for delivering trailers. They had +600k an only did basic maintenance. I'm pretty fond of that! My current truck I have maintained very well an aside from electronic parts pooping out I've had zero issues. Its a 1999 with 160k on it. I've had it over ten years an now I need more room an ability to tow. I hate to have a payment but I keep things a long time so I can justify it! Nice truck!

Funny coincidence, the truck I traded in for the d-max was a 99. :)

Here is mine...bought new in 2001 and it has 201,000 miles on her. She has the 6.8L V10 engine. Never rebuilt tranny or engine. Runs great. Go Ford! But I do love the tractor idea! That would be quite the site at the boat ramp!
