Tow Vehicle:

2000 Ford F550 Diesel.

The truck was purchased from Bartow Ford in Florida.  It features a Fontaine conversion bed that adds:

 

Fiberglass Bed, 25000 pound capacity 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Hitches, 2 Bed Storage Boxes, Rear Air Suspension, 2nd Fuel Tank with Transfer Flow pump.

 

Dealer added options include Exhaust Brake, Performance Chip and K&N Air Filter.  I added an AMSOIL Dual Remote Oil Filtration System and Synthetic Oil.

 

The F550 boasts a 30,000 pound GCVWR due to larger drive train components and brakes.
