Finding the right truck or build it

[Advent]

I can think of two really good reasons not to build your dream truck into your tow rig:

1. 10,000 pounds with a short bed regular cab truck? No. Heck no. On top of that, I think that's higher than the tow rating of any solid axle Chevy, ever.

2. Swampers don't make very good towing tires. Sure, you could cough up for expensive dual purpose tires...But that would add more to the cost than just having two rigs!

Edit: Looked it up, the one tons have a 10k rating (with weight distributing hitch) in 1991 (as far back as I could find in my quick searching). I still wouldn't tow anything at capacity in a 20 year old truck.
