Heavy Hauler
I finally have the proper tow rig for towing my RW. I will fly to Az. after Thanksgiving to pick it up and have the Mountain Master air ride hitch installed @ mountain master in Phoenix before driving back to Wa. 35696-15b878d1-th.jpg

Congratulations. Nice looking truck. You shouldn't have a problem hauling your Redwood around now.

Spindrift, you can find all types of these truck on Horse Trailer World- Used and new trailers for sale.
I had to monitor the sit daily because they go fast. It is a nation wide site fill out the info. box on the left and it will guide. It says horse trailers but it do does both. good luck.

That looks like pure class. What engine and transmission does it have?

Ed - seriously consider the Comfort Ride Hitch. Same man that designed the Hensley Trailer Saver Air ride hitch designed it as the second generation. They make a 30k version designed specifically for Heavy Haulers. Agree that I'm a bit biased since I have a 24k model and love it, but you might want to check them out.
Comfort Ride Hitch. If you talk to them, tell Rick I sent you. Great guy. I think Mountain Master also uses this hitch if you want it. Most of the HH people do. It's the one NuWa and Continental recommend.
Send me a note if you need more

Is it set at 300 HP? I believe those diesels can be set up to 350hp or down to 170.

no it has not has been turned up this is the way it came from factory. I had done some research before buying it. I think the web said the DT530 model has the greater hp.

Does anyone know if I need to install the air ride 5er hitch in my new truck if I already have the air ride chasse and pin box?

Ed, I think if it was me I would use a B&W Hitch. Typically, air pinboxes and air hitches don't play well with each other.
The B&W would give you the solid 1" jaws and a good hitch.

I would go with the hitch like what Vaughan has.
There have been reports of bad bounce issues if you have 2 air-ride systems working against each other. I believe in most of the cases people had too much bounce caused by not running enough air in both setups. I had a air ride on my F350 and I had the tri-glide pin box that some people didn't think would work, but it did beautifully. I was careful to keep the truck air ride inflated to a higher level.
