I'd love to have one but they really are only great if you live in a rural area and tow heavy a lot.
Where have I read that before?

I guess my 76K mile LMM Duramax is just old enough for the sweet spot? I will have mine until they tear the FOB out of my cold, dead hand. Went up about 20 miles on a decent forestry road to rescue a buddy who got broke while we were wheeling. Hardly knew the S-box XJ and the featherlite were back there on the 20 miles on dirt to get to the pavement... Snow even!
