fifth wheel

This was written as a story about the new dmax that also came out in 2011 but it also covers chassis changes.

 

Among other things, big difference in brakes for the '11 and up.

One last piece of advice NOT truck related.

 

I pull a fifth wheel so this comes with experience. You are now significantly TALLER. When pulling into campground, look up frequently. Low hanging branches, or worse, trees that tilt into the road must be accounted for. Typically it just means moving to the left or right to clear them. But mistakes are made, and they are not fun.
