Help Me

As some of ya'll know, I have been asking alot of questions about different units but I need help here. While searching RVT I found a 2008 Wild Cargo and made the comment of "Look, you would have plenty of space in the garage for you business, the cats can take the loft, the dog, you and I can share the rest..". She said "OK how much, Its in our price range, etc..". Heres the issue, I have a modified srw diesel Ram, no where near enough to pull this thing, and really don't want or desire the payment of a heavier dually/HDT..
So after all this talk of I want an Excel, how do I say, " Aah, this ones to big".....

Comments accepted, sarcasm appreciated!!!

You have to be truthful with the seller and most important........yourself. If this decision is hard that means you care.

Don't get me wrong, I can roll a complete dually axle under the back, and the fenders and have a 3500 dually for 2k or so. A Wild Cargo is more 4500/5500 or HDT territory for the weight issue to be honest. Now I can put bigger rotors and caliper's on, exhaust brake is there, BUT by the time its loaded, and ready for travel it would be 20k easily. Space = weight...
Also 3 axles to maintain, etc...

I know of a great HDT for sale that will beat the socks off anything you can do with a dually, including turning radius. You can then easily pull that WC and be very safe. PM me for more details. To also set the record straight, this is NOT my HDT.

Most any HDT will be cheaper than a dually I know of a couple of others that will make you a great truck to pull that Wild Cargo.
