OK, here is a question if the towing capacity of a 2500 is 12,550 pounds, and the 3500 is 13,550 pounds (both with 3.73 gears) is there any true advantage of buying the 3500?

the 3500 with the 4.10 gears will bump the towing up to 15,550 pounds.

Still not sure what a tow vehicle, goose neck and two PW's will actually weight, but guessing it will come in just short of 24,000 pounds with all the "gear".

7,500# Tow Truck and gear
4,500# Trailer
6,000# PW
6,000# PW

This means the towing weight would be 16,500 pounds, above either the 2500 or 3500.

Thanks,
Will
