  • Tool boxes or beds setup for towing and plenty of storage for tools and gear.--i have a tool box with straps chain come-a-long etc
  • Heavy duty hitches- 2.5" reese, gooseneck ball
  • Dual rear wheels (some exceptions)-yup
  • Overload springs, air assist or air ride-yup
  • Creature comforts, plush seats, cruise control, sound insulation ect.a couple things, not much other than a nice stereo and xm satellite i like a spartan interior
  • 10,000 GVWR or greater.-rated at 10k
  • CB/HAM radios-40 channel cobra
  • Navigation systems-truckers atlas under the seat, google maps on my phone
  • Truck/Trailer painted to match. -too many things to tow to match paint

That is the list I have, you all have any more suggestions?
im pretty close on this!
