Spending this much on a rig to tow a 4-5t boat seems pointless. If you can afford the 500k+ for the rig you might as well just buy a place on the water and not have to tow your boat around🤷🏽♂️

If someone has the money to spend 500k on a rig to tow a boat I’m sure they have a house on the water already. As he said it’s going to be set up for touring

While this looks fantastic, it's no good driving around town, pretty much useless offroad, won't fit down any tracks unless you want 500 pinstripes from the scrub, needs 20m to make a turn, accessing stuff in the canopy would be a pain, need a 2 stage ladder to get to the RTT, put 40+" tires on then hang the exhaust down too low, looks good but just impractical.

Surprised that the government let you have one of those. The "shocks" are genius, allowing you to get back to legal ride height when you hit the road. Practically half the trucks running around the US are F250/2500's, towing capacity is essentially whatever you feel like. Dudes have 32' boats and 6 ton equipment trailers like they are giving them away. It would take a truck like that to stick out at all.
