Most will tell you either a John Woods or A Brian's Truck Shop depending on where you are located.

Yep, A John Woods or a BTS. Check around where you live, BTS has dealers and the one by me now stocks one all of the time! Clay at Riffraff can also get you a John Woods Towmaster.

My OEM HD pulls my 10k # Fifth wheel very well. 3 yr warranty.

I have only had it in for 6 months, but have pulled my camper across Monteagle MTN on I-24 with no effort.

I didn' t have the funds to go JW or BTS, but I was considering.

What are you going to do with your truck? If you plan on getting rid of it with in 3 years or so, go with a cheaper brand or OEM. I plan on keeping my 7.3 for 'Life'.... so I went with BTS.... A1 for toughness and warrenty.

(not to discount JW, for he is also top of the line from what I have read from others, But the choice was easy for me as I live 250 miles from Lead Hill)
