We just placed an order for a new truck and tow vehicle, which looks to be an almost 1 year wait.
Awesome T. Be sure to get a selfie with it next to my boat at the Marina next year.

Re: Let's see your Tow rigs with your boat!
Stumbled across this thread...interesting to see what everyone tows with! This is my "tow rig"...original retirement plan was a heavy 5th wheel. After buying the truck in 2016, the EX-WIFE decided she didn't want to be "stuck" in the cab with me for weeks at a time. So, the dually has become my boat tow rig. I will say, I've never had any traction issues at the ramp and it runs straight as a string on the road!

That's a long wheelbase, too, which makes for smooth towing. Looks like you're all set to move up to an R30

Re: Let's see your Tow rigs with your boat!
Mainly to tow our travel trailer, it's only 25' long but with 800# of tongue weight and a lot of wood in the bed, we were over our rear axle rating on the Ford. This truck has 3300# of payload.
And also don't need a WDH with our Cobalt R5 now since it had a tongue weight of 600#
