My truck is a 2007 International 4400LP SRA with the DT 570 engine (310 hp and 950 lb-ft of torque) with an Allison 3000 TRV close ratio 6-speed automatic transmission.  The GVWR is 23,500 lbs, and it is equipped with air seats, air crew cab and air rear suspension (15,500 lb capacity).  It has air brakes, a Diamond Logic exhaust brake, A/C, cruise control and CB.  I have six Michelin 255/80R22.5 tires on polished aluminum wheels.

I purchased my truck from All Star International in Tifton , Georgia through Wayland Long at 2L Custom Trucks in Decatur , TX .  Wayland and his crew added their 2L Razor Hauler Body (all steel) with formed ground effect running boards and diamond plate aluminum 98 gallon fuel tank behind the headache rack.  Interior was upgraded to include dash, door panels, headliner, carpet and seats (distressed leather).  Electronic additions include an in-dash Alpine touch-screen monitor which controls the navigation system, back-up cameras (2 - one on the truck and one on trailer), 6 CD changer, iPod, AM/FM and Sirius satellite radio through four speakers plus an amplified bass box.  An overhead 10" LCD flat screen monitor and DVD player with wireless headphones was added for use by the back seat passengers (aka grandkids).

The only accessory I've added is a PressurePro tire monitoring system which monitors all twelve tires of the truck and trailer.

We use our truck to pull a 2007 38' New Horizons fifth wheel trailer.  It is a triple axle trailer which weighed 17,380 lbs at time of delivery.  Loaded for travel (fresh water tank, 73 gals, and both 40 lb LPG tanks full), the trailer's GVW is 19,300 lbs (GVWR is 22,500 lbs).  The pin weight is 4400 lbs and the axles carry 14,900 lbs or almost 5,000 lbs each.  The truck with a full load of fuel weighs 14,000 lbs and 18,400 lbs with the trailer hooked up.  Our combined gross vehicle weight rolling down the highway is 33,300 lbs.
