Well for one thing it's a 5500. It looks like he has a 12-14FT bed on it and he may have more stuff in it that you do (auto, bigger fuel tanks ect.)

Nice looking truck smartyrules8563.

Smarty, great looking truck, you must have some steel on that bed to reach that capacity. I know its got to ride much better than what we talked about before. If not I talked to a engineer and he was stating that the steering is a little bit touchy and that the walk you feel is actually the rear wheels shifting, but told me it will get better once they wear in a little. Time will tell
Good looking bed, you weld that or buy outright?

That's a great looking truck -- I would have bought one this year if I could have found a up-fitter that could have installed a Pick up bed.

Maybe in 2010...

That's a really nice looking truck.

From what I can tell, the Bullet has nice aluminum wheels that Dodge doesn't offer, but the Bullet isn't offered in a Laramie interior?

Anyway, if you wouldn't mind, would you post what equipment the truck has?
