First off, n00b, you can find posts under CodyY for the past two decades. Anywhere from 3wheelerworld.com to FerrariChat and most every make and model of car and bike in between. So, feel free to school me on forum etiquette. I'm sure the mods will zap this anyway.
Secondly, Garrett is my 5 year old son, my name is Cody. So when you address me, do so accordingly.
Now that's out of the way, pasting responses from your 20 "what should I buy for the truck I still cant decide to order" is unnecessary and I (and nobody else, either) will not read them. We dont care that much. Putting 3000 pounds in the bed of a truck is a lot of load. If you're scared of a first year motor, wait till 2021. Nobody on the open market has driven the 7.3 big block yet, so for someone to give you 5th hand drivel about "it's the same as xyz" is utter nonsense.
Oh, and yes, in less than a year, you have started 20 threads all about the same "build". See screenshot below. Dont worry, it only took me a sec, my phone has a nifty feature for such things.
Also, your screen name is lame. You must be a California politician, hung up on $50 floormats and wheel liners, but wont listen to what anybody says with practical knowledge of hauling heavy loads. Obviously this is your first. If you'd had a big truck and a huge slide-in, you'd know exactly what to order based on your own experience. There is a reason people with the huge azz slide-in campers consistently use 1ton diesel duallys to haul them. Because that's what works best. A 6.2 gas motor WILL haul 3k lbs easily. It WILL NOT easily haul 3000lbs when its 7 feet wide and 12 feet tall.
The difference in my 5.3 Chevy and 6.8 v10 Ford isn't much on paper. But when I hook up a 24 foot gooseneck and throw a 5000lb tractor on the back, the difference is substantial.
