DTR's 'Go to Guy'
I think they will be suprised at the response they will get! There are a TON of guys going after that exact look! Maybe not the hugely long bed, but the wheels and the guages look very nicely done to me!
( note: built for towing needs guages?! wonder why the other models don't require them? same motor? lol)

It looks great, I like the looks but I dont like it as a truck. Nce show truck, nice to get attention. Bad to tow your 40 ft toy hauler to the dunes. It costs a lot, the bed is to high....the unsprung weight is high.
it can pull a tag.....thats useful, so can a titan, toyota, 1500 etc...
to high to be useful. That 10 ft bed is to high to use. And 50 lb adapters for the wheels? Is it just me or does that seem like a bad idea.

Interesting that pic #10 has regular tail lights while all the rest of the pics the tail lights are the new pop out style. Built For Towing huh? Where is the intergrated brake controller?

I think it's cool. I love a regular cab long bed. If I didn't have two kids that's what I'd be driving.....
I agree that it's what many guys here are striving towards with their trucks....

nah
Kinda odd...in the attempt to build the ultimate work truck....the guy created a truck that has little actual value to the working community.Quite obviously the truck is for looks....he should have at least used the heavier 5500 suspension. Towing anything besides a tag along is out....and who is going to load anything into a bed that stands that high. Maybe you could pull a tag along behind it and have a little kubota front-loading tractor or a little excavator to assist loading and unloading the bed. Might work with a dump insert. Too many guys confuse their idea of a truck and the actual concept of a truck. Just like all the college kids who throw an 8 inch lift an their new 06 2500...how brilliant. Just another thing that separates the men from the boys. redwake.

Bft
I don't think it's very practical. Way too high for access to the box or the cab. And who wants that diesel exhaust blowing black smoke all over their trailer? I'd settle for a Mega-cab with an 8-foot box, at standard ride-height. I do like the hood with a scoop! I'll pass on this one.
