[QUOTE="ClassicIDI, post: 1506312, member: 1330"] These two things are what keep bringing me back to the 450. I always like to Overkill things. And for the last 3 years I've been on the ragged edge towing this trailer and it's very stressful, which is not what I want after a 10hr day of 4wheeling and I just made it back to the truck at 10pm and now have a 2hr drive home. I have read over and over that once you tow with a drw you will love it, but I keep resisting just because I've never felt like I needed one but the weight scale doesn't lie. Again the 295 tires would be right at their limit. The wheels are only 3500 pounds each on a srw and the rear axle is also not rated for that. I guess I'm a worry wort and ive been lucky that I haven't had to panic stop or evasive manuver while towing. But what happens when I do in the srw? I look under this 450 and marvel at the Spicer 110 axle massive brakes and 19.5 tires. It all just says beef! Not to mention I'm actually legal if something did happen while towing with the 450. One of my friends asked what insurance would do if they found out what I was towing when the wreck happened and I honestly don't know. Can't they deny the whole claim if I'm over weight? The miles scare me a bit. This is the most money I've ever spent on a vehicle and I keep reading horror stories of cp4's exploding and costing 10grand. The 450 has another year of warranty and then it would get *****. My wife is concerned about resale with the 450 if I don't like it. Thinks the lariat would be easier to sell and I agree but I don't plan on selling anytime soon. I've had my 7.3 for 10yrs and if it wasn't for this trailer I'd probably not get rid of it so I keep trucks along time. I don't care for all the fancy crap in the lariat. All I see is expensive seats, stereo, and HVAC controls that will probably break and cost me alot to fix. I like the package the 450 has, but again harder to sell if needed. Idk what the demand for 450's is everyone wants a lariat 350. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
