Now if I had a 3/4 ton truck I would probably have an ORV in my driveway. In the NW I see a lot of ORV’s going down the road, they are almost always being towed by a 3/4 or 1 ton trucks, including the shorter models.

I went to the RV show yesterday. At the Lance booth, the factory rep whom I gotten to know from a few RV shows was there again. We talked about that new Lance 2465, he says it will be out about September. He said they were still moving things around and had a few different style couches coming in to try. He said they were looking to extend the couch all the way across the back, this is different than what's shown in their video. He assured me that they are staying half ton towable. This wasn't some know nothing salesman trying to convince me, it's half ton towable. He believes they're looking at probably 58 or 59 hundred lbs dry weight. He did acknowledge this would be at the top of the 1/2 ton limits, but still doable for most modern half tons.
With the Kingsize bed, disc brakes and that floor plan I can't wait to see one, it just might be my next trailer.
