You know, if I really liked my truck, I'd pull the release on the hitch and roll forward. Sure, my bed would get banged up but it would be a cheap fix as opposed to watching the truck burn to the ground too. Maybe the owner was tired of the Ram, ready for a Ford, and decided to let nature take it's course?

Randy, I agree 100%. Better to replace the bed than the whole truck!

Photos from our first time out with the new truck. Short trip to Santa Barbara area 110 miles each way.


2014 Montana, 39ft Model 3625RE, with Onan5500 generator. Now has about 2200 miles on the trailer, 99 hours on the generator.


2015 F350 dually, King Ranch, 6.7L engine, 14K tow package, 4.30:1 gears. Now have 10800 miles on truck. The combination works very well. Have plans on retirement to spend a lot more time on the road.
