Probably, your first reaction to our truck, Red
Rover, is that there appears to be a serious
case of overkill for a fifth-wheel trailer tow vehicle.
Actually the decision process that resulted in
Red Rover was highly influenced by safety
reasons. There were steps to the decision and you should
understand them. If you plan on getting a medium to heavy
fifth-wheel trailer, you should read this section before
acquiring your tow vehicle.
We documented
those steps in these links:
