We have a 95 Dodge 3500 diesel, but its got a 5sp manual. We're pushing 300,000 and still on the original clutch. It is one hauling truck. Toughest job it had was our 25ft g/n (5700lbs) with a Krone 260 round baler and a Krone 125 round baler, total weight of trailer and load about 15,000 through a section of the Ozarks in Arkansas. We had to drop down to 3rd gear twice, but other than that it did great.
I was coming back from a horse competition, had my smaller horse trailer on. It got dark and I turned the lights on. There was a problem with the electric brakes on the trailer and they engaged when I turned the lights on. Truck sort of gave a little chug then kept right on going. I didn't realize there was a problem until some folks flagged me down (thank the good Lord). Brakes were literally smoking. Truck just kept right on like nothing had changed.
Last summer we were loading round bales. As I always do, I put chocks under the trailer tires while loading. We had 8 round bales on the trailer (trailer weighs 5700). I got in a hurry to leave and forgot about the chocks. Put the truck in low and truck went with no strain. Got about 30 yds and remembered the chocks. Truck had pulled the load right over them like they weren't even there.
