Has any one looked at the Dodge Mexico site? The only diesel that is available is in their 2500 Ram and their "4000" chassis cab. There is not a 3500 available. No Mega cabs either!

They build what ever they want down there
I rememberI was down there about 5 years back south of texas in Nuevo Progresso I saw ram chargers in the newer body and they had short beds with 2500 labels on them They also had sububans with a gmc grill but a bowtie in the middle (saw more than one it was not a custom) and I was told they were carburated 350s with 4 speed manuals

Because they don't have a ghey EPA telling them what type of fuel(ULSD) to use and what they have to have for emission standards. It always seems the U.S. has to shoulder the burden.
