Oh yeah, cool *** truck too. I might have gotten a dodge if it has much more cab room.

Oh well my lowly 6.0 PS pulled the 32,000 pound load up north and back down just fine. Man I love my truck. I'd rather drive it then me 600hp camaro.

Paul, I like those Fords too, your truck looks great. I remember asking about it at SBSO when you came in the gate.

I'll never need a trailer that big, lol.

Only thing I don't like about the Dodge 2wd Duallys is how low the front end is to the ground. They need a 2 or 3" lift up front and they would be kick ***.

Sweet truck Tony.

That's not a bad price, but jeez, they're giving these things away here in Dallas. I've seen a few for $10k off sticker. It looks like you got around $6500 off which isn't bad at all though. Looks great!

I didn't see, but did you get auto or the six-speed?

auto tranny. I'd rather not mess with the 6-speed when towing or sitting in traffic.

$10K off sticker is a bit unrealistic for a Dodge, as Dodge trucks are not marked up as high over invoice as Ford or GM trucks. Dodge are already cheaper for the options packages.

Typical GM retail is 8K over invoice. Typical Ford retail is $9K over invoice. Typical Dodge retail is only $5K over invoice.

Hey, at least I didn't buy no stinkin' HEMI. I think I'll get plates that read NO HEMI for the truck.
