Nice looking truck. What will your new tractor weigh? What attachments do you expect to haul with it and what do they weigh? What length do you need? I have a 20+5 gooseneck with tandem singles and 14k gvw. The trailer weighs 5200lbs with my chains, binders, some 6x6 blocks, ratchet straps, etc, etc, basically everything but the equipment I'm hauling. If I'm maxing out the trailer I try to put about 2000 lbs on the truck which gives me a legal load on the trailer of 10,800 lbs, this fits well within my needs so the tandem singles were enough for me.

I have a F350 4x4 Dually that I will use. Looking for a trailer from 25' to 30'. Tractor and MX8 weights about 7000 lbs.

Don't say that!! I've got a 2006 LBZ with 43k miles. Had to have my turbo replaced a few months ago due to NOT driving it enough. Carboned and rusted vanes

Yea, sitting and not running the crap out of the Variable Vane Turbo Trucks is though on them.
