Now that is a Dodge I would buy if it had a little more power but from what I have read that is in the future for the Cummins. Tough chassis, big fuel tank, good looks, great tranny, Cummins power, hard to go wrong.
One major concern would be the height. Will it work with most 5th wheels and GN trailers with them big wheels and tall stance? I know the F-450 trucks are about the current limit with most trailers out there. It would be something to check into before writing the check.

Boy I sure wouldn't want to pay the bill at that fuel station ! Tried to fill my cummins up last week and the pump stopped at $100 on the debit card. I went in and asked what was up with that, the girl said " oh it's doing that again ?"

In the end its costing you the same. This will allow you to buy fuel where its cheaper. For example I took a trip last weekend. Boat stuff. Gas was $3.69 at my destination while its $4.17 per gallon around my house. Yes, 87 octane is $4.17 per gallon.

your for the low low price of $100K
you would expect with air bags you could set a ride stance significantly less than what is shown.
wonder what an equivilant 5500 chassis cab with more traditional western hauler bed and extra tank costs in comparison...

More power? Diesel Power Mag says it's going to get the High Output 800-lb.ft version of the Cummins. I can't imagine Dodge not putting the HO engine in such a truck. I love that they still offer the Mega Cab, reclining rear seats are great!
I'm sure it will have a good $70-80k sticker too... :confused2:

That may be the case. This article said it had the 350/650 motor. Thats not going to cut it anymore.
