Tailgate? It didn't have one before??
Let me know you you like the hard folding tonneau cover. I personally prefer the roll up soft cover, but then again, you don't have to deal with snow and freezing! And what wheels are those? I likey. |

Had a gate for a goose neck before.
Those wheels are from tirerack for a steal! Nitto 420s I've never liked the roll up covers, they break too easily. This one you can stand on. |

Wheels, not tires!!! Not near aggressive enough rubber for me, but great for your 2X4.
I like what's inside the doughnut I don't usually walk/stand on my tonneau cover though, so that's not a big deal for me. I know the roll ups will handle the weight of wet snow as high as the cab roof though!

Ford should have simply kept the good old 7.3 Powerstroke, those older ones are outstanding and proven workhorses, especially with the 5spd ZF transmission.
The Cummins 5.9 is and always has been a great engine. put a good transmission behind it and throw it all into an F250, you've got a rig that WILL NOT stop working. that 250 is a nice truck, I like it. |

The 7.3 got nixed because of emissions, just like every other engine that's been dropped by a manufacturer. As for the 5.9... yeah it's great, too bad the rest of the Dodge is just an expensive shipping crate for a great Cummins engine. |
