    Not sure which is the best but I dont think the Hummer even belongs on your list.
    I would have to look closely at the F650.

    What about the sport chassis? AJ loves his, so does Scott Farley.

    The Topkicks and F650's just don't ride the same as a Freightliner Sportchassis or a conversion. The Pete and KW's are built better cab-wise. Identical underneath.

    IMHO the Sportchassis is the best value of the bunch.

    One other thing that the Ford and GM can't give you- 24/7 service at intervals on every major highway in the US. If you buy it with a Cat, you triple your service points.

    But in the 12k to 15k range, the Ford F-550 conversions are very attractive. More other-use friendly as well.

    I've had all of them at one time or another and the sportchassis is the best hands down. If i knew how I would post pics but i don't . I'll get someone to do it for me cuz it's getting wraped after KW to match the boat. I'll try an do a b4 and after
    what part is signature ?

    I wish it was mine but it is not. Delo (OU Want Some?!!) was beyond generous enough to let me use it to go to Miami to get my boat. With the Cafe and steel trailer, I forgot the boat was behind it half the time.

    You will see the same Sportchassis if you look above at OU Want Some's post pulling his new 44 MTI.
