Yeah, this one for example is slightly longer (300mm) than a Thai dual cab ute but this thing turns on a dime. It can actually carry 5 people, 2 in comfort watching TV in the back sleeper and still carry 1.5tons of stone on the back tray and regoed to pull a 5ton trailer. Gets about 35mpg @100kmh on the highway.
I built it so it could pull a gooseneck RV (3in ball is slightly behind the axle centre, was a better option than a 5thW. plate) drop it onsite and use the truck to pick stone from a local quarry.
A RAM would be nice but is very limited (for me) as to what it can do.
Like anything horse for courses.
I'm looking to set up the Louisville with the same intention. This one will be turned back to a tray truck shortly.
