I didn’t see it posted but with the safety concerns posted above there is something more to consider.
Propane cylinders need to be mounted/stored/ transported in the correct orientation. This is usually valve up unless it’s a horizontal cylinder.
The danger is liquid lpg may leak out if The tank...
We have a little heated dog bed for the little dog, 120v. Of course he’ll burrow into a mound of blankets if he’s cold also.
For truck use 12v heated pad with a dedicated battery would work. Dog will sleep on it off it wants to warm up.
I’m sure there’s some good brands out there.
I was going to suggest a small RV propane furnace but then I looked into it. +$800 before the extras and you'd still need a decent sized battery to power your fan. Probably not the best option.
I don’t know if OP knows but the 2500 vs 3500 suspension is a lot different. Coil vs leaf springs. Not like a Ford where there’s not much difference.
I think I’d get a 3500 and not be worried about being right at max payload.
A thousand pounds under payload would handle better than at max...
It’s nice the Chevys have the extra battery tray already. I took my old battery and put it there. Then I made an isolated dual battery setup.
Now I’m wondering how I’d know if one of the batteries shorted out?
I don’t understand the handling bit. Race cars handle well, they have stiff suspension. Heavy duty trucks have such stiff suspension most don’t even need or have a rear sway bar. I get in my dodge 1500 work truck and compared to my 2500 it feels like it pitches side to side with the slightest...
You can get a super duty shorter in length than a f150 if you choose. But yes the default crew/short bed and is longer in a superduty.
Does the super duty still have a bigger turning radius when they have the same configuration, crew/6.5’ bed etc?
At the dealership I work at we had a sales guy who was trying to convince a guy that “no it’s not a rotten floor, it’s a floating floor”.
The customer saw through the bs but the sales guy is still employed.
