Plus think about your GVWR. With the wrecker you are already almost half way to 80K. It depends on what you ultimately want to tow. Considering all military vehicles are under powered and heavy and speaking from personal experience, if I want to go to a rally or show once a year and can only go...
Don't know if FL has a restricted CDL. My M915 is the first tractor with an automatic transmission that I have driven. Everything else has been a Eaton/Fuller of one kind or another.
