I have a friend that works for a heavy equipment company. His job used to be delivering construction equipment all over the east coast. On top of that, he loves to surf/contribute to diesel forums so he keeps himself up to speed on every sort of hauling machine. I consider him to be my towing sensei.
Anyway, I asked him about this truck. As we all probably know, it's more than capable of hauling my 3,140 lbs buggy around. My current trailer is 12' so a 14' deck would even give me room for some kind of toolbox, camping gear, etc. while still holding my car. What I didn't know was that in that year all F550's came with a 4.88 gear ratio so I'd probably be cruising at 70 mph tops. That alone kills the deal for me. On top of that, the idea of towing two rigs at once is a mixed one to me. On one hand it would be nice to have a friend on the trip and to split fuel cost.
On the other, the reality of going out of my way to pick somebody up might suck. If he's not waiting at the door with his things neatly packed in waterproof boxes it sucks more. If I'm tying down his rig in the rain that stinks too. I'll lose the ability to go home early if my rig breaks (or decide on my schedule independently at all.) It's not the worst thing to only be able to take care of myself.
The more I look into this the more a regular 3/4 or 1 ton truck looks like the ideal situation.
I just can't seem to shake the idea of showing up at camp in a used ice cream truck with the music playing and my helmet on. I mean, I'd be the coolest guy on earth.
