Hy,
probably you need to pay some federal import taxes at the border and some state taxes and pass a state inspection. but every US state is different the the best is to call your local DMV and they will tell you exactly. I know that there are a lot of US dealers buying trucks in Canada due to...

With the 2 fully charged AGM batteries (voltage about 13.08v) we were able to stay parked and run the heater 24hrs/day set at around 50 degrees while we were out or sleeping and 72-75 degrees when we were lounging, eating etc. for just about 72hrs. (3 days) which I am very pleased with.

Hy,
I have a dually r17 and tried the 19.5 single . just bad compared to the dually. the camper center of gravity is high and on uneven pavement roads when the camper leans on one side trust me I want a larger rear base. + dually has a lot of traction, barely needed the 4x4 even on Colorado...

Again sway bar keeps the left and right suspension linked and limit the free movemennt of each side. so off road is far from ideal. IN my reserch I 've found a video on youtube about watts linkage and I was impressed how horizontal the truck stayed. very little or no sway at all. that's why is...
michelin are by far the best tires followed by some toyos.
DW is caused also by an used steering damper , on my dodge skyjacker cured my dw (or rancho see cummins forum)
after trying 19.5 tires and rims I went back to my michelin with r17 original rims. bigger tires are lost mpg and confort...
sway bar are not good off road that's why I 've made quick disconnect for my front sway bar. now my front wheels can move independently and have more traction on potholes. on highway I reconnect the sway bay. look for sway bar quick disconnect from jeeps.
