If you are considering a new rig with an automatic, consider an Allison
transmission. They have a good reputation and are very intelligent at
shifting when appropriate. (i.e. automatically downshifting as you go down
a hill, Tow/Haul mode, etc.)

I have a cabin cruiser with a gross weight of 10000 pounds. What will
make the best tow vehicle?? Can I get away with a 3/4 ton or should I
have a one ton. Also,what about power? Gas vs Diesel How much does
the wheelbase of the tow vehicle matter?? What about the transmission
and rear gear ratio?? Any knowledgable advice will be appreciated.
Thanks,Doug Copas
