Normally I wouldn't. I used to get into lots of low traction situations. But what I have planned for this truck is all highway and pavement. I could put a winch on it just in case.
Thanks guys. I'm reevaluating my upcoming purchase. I want an idi because I loved my last one, but for my towing needs I started to look at 7.3 powerstrokes and early duramaxs.
